Vanna White is embracing love on her own terms — and she couldn’t be more content.

The longtime Wheel of Fortune co-host, 68, recently opened up about her relationship with boyfriend John Donaldson, offering rare insight into their enduring romance and addressing the question many fans continue to ask: will the couple ever get married?

In an interview with E! News, White made it clear that happiness, not tradition, is the foundation of their relationship. “We’re very happy,” she shared warmly. “We’ve been together for a long time, and we are just happy the way it is.”

White and Donaldson have been quietly together for well over a decade, maintaining a low-profile relationship largely outside the glare of Hollywood. Donaldson, a contractor by profession, has occasionally accompanied White to red carpet events, but the couple has never sought the spotlight for their personal life — a choice that White says has worked perfectly for them.

While fans often speculate about wedding bells, White suggested that marriage isn’t a necessity when a relationship already feels complete. “Maybe people want to see us get married,” she said candidly. “When you’ve been with someone for so long, you kind of feel like you’re already married. You don’t have to have that piece of paper.”

Her comments reflect a broader shift in how long-term partnerships are viewed, particularly later in life. For White, commitment isn’t defined by a ceremony or legal document, but by shared years, mutual respect, and emotional security. Those close to the couple say their bond is steady, supportive, and deeply rooted in companionship rather than public validation.

White’s outlook on love has been shaped by experience. She was previously married to restaurateur George Santo Pietro from 1990 to 2002, with whom she shares two children, Nicholas and Giovanna. Since then, she has been open about prioritizing peace, balance, and authenticity in her personal life.

Professionally, White continues to thrive. She remains a beloved fixture on Wheel of Fortune, where she has appeared for over four decades, recently navigating the show’s transition following Pat Sajak’s retirement. Through it all, Donaldson has remained a constant presence behind the scenes, offering quiet support as White balances a demanding career with personal fulfillment.

Friends say the couple enjoys a simple life together, splitting time between work commitments, family, and relaxing away from Hollywood chaos. Their relationship, by all accounts, is built on comfort rather than expectation — a dynamic White clearly cherishes.

While she hasn’t ruled out marriage entirely, White emphasized that she feels no pressure to change what already works. “We’re just happy,” she reiterated — a sentiment that seems to define this chapter of her life.

In an industry often obsessed with labels and milestones, Vanna White’s love story stands out for its calm confidence. Whether or not a wedding is ever in the cards, one thing is certain: she and John Donaldson are content exactly where they are — and for White, that’s more than enough.
