<\/p>\n
Vanna White is married<\/p>\n
The Wheel of Fortune letter-turner announced she had tied the knot with construction and development businessman John Donaldson in a private ceremony – more than a decade after they started dating in 2012 – with a sweet Instagram photo carousel post on Wednesday (21.01.26).<\/p>\n
Vanna, 68, captioned a sweet picture from their special day, as well as shots of the smitten pair over the years, with: “Surprise! We got married!<\/p>\n
“John and I have been in love for more than a decade, and a little while back, we wanted to make it official in a private ceremony. <\/p>\n
“We\u2019re excited to share this new joyful chapter in our lives with all of you! Love, Vanna and John.”<\/p>\n
\nThe star – who met John in 2012 after a friend brought him along to one of her barbecues – and her husband received lots of congratulatory messages in the upload’s comments section.<\/p>\n
\nVanna’s 31-year-old son, luxury real-estate agent Nikko Santo Pietro – whom she has with her 79-year-old ex-husband, film producer George Santo Pietro – penned: “Congrats!! (sic)”<\/p>\n
\nTV personality Kathy Hilton, 66 – who has been married to 70-year-old businessman Rick Hilton since 1979 – wrote: “Congratulations!!!! Rick + I are so happy for you both! (sic)”<\/p>\n
\nAnd Overboard actress Irena Medavoy, 67, typed: “I am so happy for you both. Love to you amazing people. I love you.”<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile, Vanna’s fans also wished the couple well.<\/p>\n
\nOne person commented: “Oh my goodness! I\u2019m so happy for you both. Congratulations.”<\/p>\n
\nA second user referenced Wheel of Fortune with: “You solved the puzzle. We\u2019re happy for you both.”<\/p>\n
\nAnd a third supporter commented: “More precious than winning the million on @wheeloffortune! Congrats! (sic)”<\/p>\n
\nIn October 2023, Vanna – who had instantly fallen in love with John after she met him at one of her barbecue events in 2012 – revealed why they had not gotten married after years of dating.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained to People: “I mean, we’ve been together 12 years, and I feel like we are married. Do we have to get married? No, because we feel comfortable in our relationship. You know what I mean? I know that he’s the one. He knows I’m the one.<\/p>\n
\n“We don’t really talk about it, but you never know. I mean, I guess we could, but in my eyes and his eyes, we are married.”<\/p>\n
\nRevealing the secret to their long-lasting relationship, Vanna added: “[John] is the male version of me. We really are very similar. We get along so well. He’s easy. He’s easy, and he lets me be me, and I let him be him.”<\/p>\n
\nThe TV personality and John have both previously been married, with Vanna being with film producer George Santo Pietro from 1990 until they split in 2001.<\/p>\n
\nVanna and George – who finalised their divorce in 2002, citing irreconcilable differences – have two children together, Nicholas “Nikko” and 28-year-old daughter, tattoo artist Giovanna “Gigi”.<\/p>\n
