Vanna White has been on the show since 1982, even announcing her first pregnancy with then-husband George Santo Pietro on-air. The pregnancy — sadly — resulted in a miscarriage, but it does demonstrate the familial relationship that White has with the viewers. The couple was able to welcome two children; Gigi Santo Pietro and Nikko Santo Pietro before their amicable split in 2002.

The film producer and restauranteur is now married to producer Melissa Mascari and the two share a child; Andrea Santo Pietro.

Despite her divorce, White has reportedly been in a relationship since 2012. According to People, she and John Donaldson met through a mutual friend and have been together ever since. Donaldson owns his own construction and development company in Southern California.

It was recently announced that Ryan Seacrest will be taking over Sajak’s position as host on Wheel of Fortune. White has yet to announce any retirement plans but has expressed that she “can’t imagine” the show without Sajak.

When we started @WheelofFortune who could have imagined we’d still be at it 41 seasons later? I couldn’t be happier to have shared the stage with you for all these years with one more to come. Cheers to you, @patsajak! https://t.co/yYmo3G0Dtb

As far as we know, White has no retirement plans and will continue to turn letters alongside Seacrest. Some fans are disappointed that White won’t be replacing Sajak as host and even White herself has “lawyered up” in hopes of a host-sized raise for upcoming seasons, according to The New York Post.
