Vanna White has officially said “I do.”
The “Wheel of Fortune” star, 68-year-old Vanna White, announced that she recently married her longtime partner, John Donaldson, in a quiet and intimate ceremony. The couple shared the happy news with fans on Wednesday, posting photos of their special day on Instagram.
“Surprise! We got married!” White wrote, adding that they made the decision after more than a decade of being in love. She explained that they had been committed to each other for years and felt it was the right time to formalize their relationship. The couple said they are thrilled to begin this new chapter in their lives and share their joy with their fans.
White first met Donaldson through a friend at a barbecue party in 2012. They instantly connected and quickly developed a strong bond. Over the years, White has been open about their low-key relationship, often describing it as effortless and built on mutual respect.
Interestingly, marriage was never a major goal for the couple. Even in 2023, White said she felt married in every way that mattered. Both she and Donaldson were confident that they had found their life partner, regardless of whether or not they had a wedding ceremony.
Now, after more than ten years together, the couple has decided to formalize their relationship on their own terms—proving that love doesn’t need a specific timeline, just the right moment.
