Congratulations!
For years, fans have wondered if or when Vanna White would settle down with her longtime boyfriend.
Wonder no more!
Now, the successful cultural icon has married her man. Surprise!
Congratulations!
On Wednesday, January 21, beloved television personality Vanna White took to Instagram to share the happy news.
“Surprise! We got married!” she announced.
“John and I have been in love for more than a decade,” Vanna wrote.
“And a little while back,” she revealed, “we wanted to make it official in a private ceremony.”
Vanna concluded: “We’re excited to share this new joyful chapter in our lives with all of you! Love, Vanna and John.”
As you can see, Vanna’s announcement came with multiple photos.
All four photos showcase the Wheel of Fortune icon alongside her longtime partner, John Donaldson.
Only the first showcases the model and businesswoman in a white gown — being held bridal style, no less.
The others appear to be from different points in their relationship, posing for cute couple photos.
Congratulations, Vanna!
How did they meet?
In 2012, Vanna and John met through mutual friends at a barbecue.
From there, they began dating.
According to Vanna, her first impression of the man who is now her husband is that she thought that he was “really cute.”
It wasn’t just a superficial attraction, however. They instantly developed a rapport.
Vanna would tell People that she and John “ended up talking for a long time that night.”
For more than 13 years, Vanna and John remained in a relationship without the need to formalize it with an institution like marriage.
In fact, in 2023, Vanna explained that she felt secure in her relationship.
After over a decade together (at that point), it felt as though they were already married.
However, they have clearly decided to formalize their commitment.
If this is what they want, we’re happy for them!
They just decided that the time was right
We have reported on the Wheel of Fortune icon’s marriage history before.
From 1990 until 2002, she was married to George Santo Pietro.
They share two adult children, Nicholas “Nikko” Santo Pietro and Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro.
(Nikko is famously super hot, though his actual claim to fame is just being Vanna’s son)
We’re all so happy for Vanna. She’s a cultural treasure and she deserves the world.

The 2026 Academy Award nominations were announced Thursday morning.
And while many expected One Battle After Another to lead the pack after winning big at the Golden Globes, instead, Sinners has scored the most nominations with 16.
Not only is Ryan Coogler’s genre-defying vampire epic the most-nominated film of the year, but it now holds the record for most nominations of all time, beating out 1950’s All About Eve, 1997’s Titanic, and 2016’s La La Land, which each had 14 noms.
In second place comes OBAA with 13 nods.
Many prognosticators believe that Paul Thomas Anderson’s film about the toll of political activism is still the most likely Best Picture winner.
One Battle took home top prizes at most of the critics’ award shows, and the shooting death of Renee Good and subsequent ICE protests in Minneapolis have lent a topical quality to the film that might resonate with voters.
Other films that stand to win big on Oscar night include Marty Supreme, Hamnet, and Frankenstein, which are all represented in multiple major categories.

New Edition’s fifth LP, Heart Break, is set to be reissued on vinyl. The release will come in two formats, in standard black vinyl and a “colorless” vinyl.
Heart Break marked the Boston R&B group’s return to a quintet after Bobby Brown left the group. For Heart Break, Johnny Gill was added as a fifth member.
The album features seminal production from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and produced a number of highlights like “Not My Kind of Girl,” “Boys to Men,” “Can You Stand The Rain,” and “If It Isn’t Love.” The album is certified double platinum by the RIAA.
The album was also a critical smash, in addition to all of the commercial accolades it earned. AllMusic editor Craig Lytle said the record was an “outstanding album overall,” and that it displayed “New Edition’s growth and maturity due in part to the production work of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and the addition of group newcomer Johnny Gill.”

Washington Post critic Joe Brown said that, “New Edition has grown up visibly and audibly, and it doesn’t hurt that they’ve taken on D.C.’s own Johnny Gill as front man. The lyrics on Heart Break exemplify the changes – as usual, Jam-Terry Lewis spent some time hanging out with the group, then tailored the tunes with an autobiographical slant.”
Jimmy Jam spoke about the album on its 25th anniversary with Rap Rehab. He explained how production for the album fused elements of classic R&B with more mainstream hip-hop. Jam said: “We used a lot of different drum machines. I think that was the first time we used an SP-1200. It was a very popular drum machine with New York hip-hop producers and we wanted some of that East Coast presence on the record. So, a lot of the sonic choices we made were along those lines. Hip-hop was a huge influence at that point in time. We wanted to meld hip-hop into some of the smooth R&B sounds. And they were the perfect group to do it.”

It’s been over three years since Bryan Kohberger savagely murdered four college students in their off-campus home in Idaho.
The murderer pled guilty instead of facing trial, so there’s still a great deal that we don’t know about that fateful night in 2022.
Now, new crime scene photos have been released by the Idaho State Police, and in addition to providing new information, they’ve created a surprising controversy.
The photos, which can be viewed in the video below, depict a gory, blood-spattered scene in which multiple life-or-death struggles took place.
We see blood spilled on walls, beds, and floors. And in one of the most chilling images, a bloody handprint can be seen on a nightstand.
Needless to say, these photos are deeply disturbing.
And one of the victim’s families is criticizing police not only for releasing the photos but for failing to properly warn those who are most closely connected to these horrifying crimes.
“We got a call at 11:04am that photos would be released this afternoon,” relatives of Kaylee Goncalves wrote in a Facebook post.
“By the time the call ended (12 minutes later) the photos had already been released (likely they had been available before the call we just didn’t know it yet). That’s the ‘heads up’ we received.”
The Goncalves family went on to honor Kaylee’s memory while lashing out at those who have exploited her in death:
“Kaylee Jade, I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I am so sorry that people who never even knew you, now post about you, suggesting things about your life that are so untrue. We will never quit fighting for you,” they wrote.
“The best thing about all of this is that you are in Heaven and you have no idea of the hate and ugliness. I love you, Kaylee Jade.”
Kohberger murdered four University of Idaho students: Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, all of them in their early twenties.
One roommate, Dylan Mortensen, survived and is credited with helping investigators apprehend Kohberger.
She told police that on the night of the murders, she was awakened by a “commotion” and saw a masked man in the hallway of her home.
“And that’s when I saw this guy,” she said.
“He was not insanely tall, but he was wearing all black and this mask that was covering his forehead and his mouth. And then I locked the door. I didn’t know what to do.”
Neither Mortensen nor the families of the other victims have publicly responded to the release of the photos.
