Vanna White, the charismatic co-host of Wheel of Fortune, has captivated audiences for decades with her charm and grace. While her professional life has always been in the spotlight, her personal life remains relatively private. Recently, however, fans have been buzzing with curiosity about her long-term relationship with her boyfriend, John Donaldson, and why the couple hasn’t taken the traditional step of tying the knot.

A Love That’s Stood the Test of Time

In a recent interview, Vanna White revealed that she has been in a loving relationship with John Donaldson, a successful contractor, for over a decade. The two first met at a barbecue hosted by a mutual friend, and it was an instant connection. “I remember looking at him and thinking, ‘He’s really cute,’” White recalled. That night marked the beginning of their enduring bond, which has since flourished into a partnership built on mutual respect and understanding.

Donaldson, a California native, has had an impressive career in the construction industry. Starting as a laborer, he worked his way up to become the owner of JDC Construction + Development Group, a company known for its high-profile projects, including earthquake recovery efforts and renovations for Hollywood stars like Richard Dreyfuss and Dan Aykroyd.
