Vanna White’s boyfriend is John Donaldson, a real estate developer and contractor whom she has been dating since 2012.

Who he is

John Donaldson is a California-based contractor and real estate developer who generally keeps a low public profile compared with Vanna’s long-running TV fame. He has accompanied her to charity events and red carpets over the years but rarely does interviews himself.

Their relationship

  • They met in 2012 when a friend brought Donaldson to a barbecue at Vanna White’s home, and they hit it off after talking for a long time that night.
  • White has said their relationship “just works,” describing it as drama-free and saying they are very happy together.

Are they married?

Vanna White has said she is not legally married but feels “in my eyes and his eyes, we are married,” and that they are happy without a wedding or “piece of paper.” Recent interviews in late 2025 still describe him as her boyfriend of more than a decade, with no confirmed wedding plans.
