Vanna White Shares Rare Photo of Longtime Boyfriend & Grown-up Kids Together for the Holidays
Vanna White and her family looked wonderful in a recently posted photo. The television personality's partner for 12 years, John Donaldson, and two kids joined her for the picture.
Vanna White greeted her Instagram followers for the holidays with a beautiful family Christmas card. The photo featured her son, Nikko, daughter, Gigi, and partner, John Donaldson.
Both boys looked dashing in plain white tees, while the two women donned neutral-colored clothing. "Happy holidays from my family to yours! Cheers to a wonderful 2024!" she captioned the post.
White and Donaldson have been in a relationship for 12 years, going strong as each day passes. However, the two remain unwed, sparking curiosity amongst fans. In October 2023, White shared a glimpse into their relationship, noting that their commitment to each other goes beyond legal papers. Admittedly, the "Wheel of Fortune" star already feels like they are a married couple.
"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," White added.
Having been in a long relationship, White knows some things that work when finding romance. The mom of two advised others to choose a partner who accepts authenticity. A man should like a woman just the way they are, without trying to change anything.
White and Donaldson met in 2012 through a mutual friend. She was instantly attracted to him and eventually liked him more as time passed. Despite entering into a relationship, White remained close to her children.
When discussing her fame, she claimed that her kids had gotten used to her celebrity status. However, she and her kids see herself like any other mom. "I've been famous their whole life so they don’t think anything of it," she said of her stint at "Wheel of Fortune."
However, when her kids watched her in an infomercial and guest on the sitcom "Full House," they realized just how famous White was. Vanna White recently extended her "Wheel of Fortune" contract for two more years and received negative reactions from the show's fans.
