‘Wheel of Fortune’ icon Vanna White marries longtime partner in private wedding ceremony

Wheel of Fortune star Vanna White has surprised her fans by sharing that she and her longtime partner, John Donaldson, have tied the knot.

The pair shared the joyful news related to the matter with a heartfelt post on social media featuring images from a private ceremony. In that announcement, White mentioned Surprise! We Got Married! and then explained that while they've been deeply in love for more than 10 years, they opted to make a commitment official in the intimate celebration.

The duo first met in 2012 over a casual barbecue hosted by White, and their journey blossomed from that moment onwards. Over the years, they created a very strong bond that was drama-free and based on mutual affection as well as support.

White spoke on the matter in the past and very openly about how comfortable and secure she felt with Donaldson, after noting that the pair already lived as if they were married, even without any kind of formal wedding.

Their decision to finally tie the knot comes as a joyful milestone in a relationship that has clearly stood the test of time.
