The glittering icon of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Vanna White has officially married John Donaldson, and the internet is collectively clutching its pearls.
For years, Vanna has been America’s favorite letter toucher. She points, she claps, she smiles and makes evening gowns look like a professional sport. And somehow, she managed to keep her personal life mostly low-key until now, because wedding news waits for no one.
Vanna announced the big news on IG Wednesday, sharing a sweet snap of real estate developer John Donaldson scooping up his brand-new bride as they posed for a pic from their big day.
Vanna kept it simple in the caption, writing, “Surprise! We got married!” … adding the couple has been in love for more than a decade and quietly decided to make it official in a private ceremony.
She wrapped it up with, “We’re excited to share this new joyful chapter in our lives with all of you! Love, Vanna and John.”
The two were first introduced back in 2012 — and this wedding is a pretty big plot twist, considering as recently as Oct ’23, Vanna told PEOPLE she felt so comfortable in the relationship, she didn’t see the need to get married.
John Donaldson seems happy. And honestly, who wouldn’t be? You marry a woman who has never once looked bad on camera and owns more gowns than most museums. That’s a win.
At the end of the day, this isn’t just a celebrity wedding, it’s a reminder that love can happen anytime even after thousands of episodes, even after millions of claps and even after all the vowels are gone.
So congrats to Vanna White and John Donaldson. The wheel has spoken and this time, it landed on happily ever after.
