Vanna White Gets Candid About Life With Boyfriend John Donaldson, Reveals Their Stance on Marriage

Vanna White is content with the status of her relationship with John Donaldson, who she’s been dating for more than a decade.

“We’re very happy,” the Wheel of Fortune cohost, 68, told E! in an interview published Wednesday, December 10. “We’ve been together for a long time, and we are just happy the way it is.”

The TV personality further revealed where she and Donaldson stand on tying the knot.

“Maybe people want to see us get married. When you’ve been with someone for so long, you kind of feel like you’re already married,” she explained. “You don’t have to have that piece of paper.”

The mother of two — who shares her son, Nicholas, 31, and daughter, Giovanna, 28, with her ex-husband, George Santo Pietro —  also discussed what she and Donaldson have planned for the holidays.

“We always go to Hawaii for Christmas vacation,” she told the outlet. “It’s warm and tropical and it’s a good way to get away from a big city.”

Last month, a source told Examiner that White is “in no rush to take their relationship to the next level.”

“John loves her dearly and doesn’t see why they can’t commit to this now after more than a decade together, but Vanna won’t be pressured,” the source noted. “Her career is taking up all her time and head space right now, so John’s going to have to wait. It’ll be a test of patience for sure.”

White and Donaldson began dating in 2012 after one of the game show personality’s friends brought him along to a barbecue she was hosting.
