Vanna White is an American actress and television personality, best known for hosting 'Wheel of Fortune since 1982.  As interesting as her professional life seems, her personal life is quite enthralling!

She has dated people from Playboy/Chippendales dancers to a Restaurateur and now, after her divorce, she is dating American contractor John Donaldson. Her personal life seems very interesting, doesn't it? Let us find out more details about her dating life, affairs, and more

Wheel Of Fortune Host Vanna White's Dating History

Vanna first dated a guy named John Gibson, an actor, known from movies 'The Young and Restless and 'One Life to Live.'

They met each other in the 1980s and started dating. After that, John proposed to Vanna and they got engaged.

However, their romantic story was short-lived as John passed away in an unfortunate plane accident at the age of 37.

When asked about the incident, Vanna said,

“It was devastating, but I got such an outpouring of fan mail, and it really did help to know that I wasn’t alone.”

Names including Corbin Bernsen, Dana Strum, and Sylvester Stallone also come in the list of who had an affair with the gorgeous actress.

Well, she moved on with her life and Vana is happily living with her boyfriend John Donaldson. Sources stated that the couple has been together since 2012. He is the president of the JDC Construction and Development Group.

The couple had special wedding plans in 2015 but it never happened. The National Enquirer claimed that she was ready to get married in January 2015. A source said,

"Vanna has been unlucky in love – that is until John came into her life. Vanna expects a marriage proposal – probably for Valentine’s Day, with a small family-only destination wedding likely in the spring."

Yet, the couple hasn't revealed about their marriage. People barely know whether they are secretly married or still planning for the special day.

She celebrated Valentine's Day 2018 sharing an adorable image of two hearts via Instagram. Have a look:

As of 2023, Vanna and her partner John are still happily together, marking twelve years since the beginning of their relationship. When asked why they haven't tied the knot, White explained that she feels like she's already married to her boyfriend due to the many years they've spent living together.

''She's taking it well; Vanna's a trouper, and she said she'll be trying again.'' 

Similarly, Vanna also said in an interview that her husband supported her a lot at that difficult time. Fortunately, the couple welcomed two children, named Niko Santo Pietro in 1994 and Gigi Santo Pietro in 1997.
