Vanna White and her longtime boyfriend, John Donaldson, are currently at a pivotal juncture in their over ten-year relationship. Both have shown interest in tying the knot, but persistent indecision has led to a noticeable tension, as reported by sources close to the couple.
The couple has engaged in numerous discussions regarding their future, yet these conversations have not materialized into definitive plans. Although they considered exchanging vows in Hawaii later this year, White’s hectic professional commitments have once again postponed those aspirations. An insider disclosed, “Once again, Vanna is avoiding setting the date,” emphasizing that the 68-year-old television personality oscillates between eagerness and hesitation about marriage.
Donaldson, 57, seems to be growing increasingly frustrated with the situation. His longing for a deeper commitment contrasts sharply with White’s hesitance, creating strains in their relationship. “It’s in limbo and she seems in no rush to take their relationship to the next level,” the source shared.
While Donaldson’s love for White is evident, his patience is being tested as her career takes precedence in her life. The source noted her professional responsibilities consume much of her thoughts, contributing to her reluctance to commit at this moment.
In addition to her current relationship, White has a long-standing romantic history, including a previous marriage to restaurateur George Santo Pietro, with whom she has two children. Their divorce in 2002 paved the way for her relationship with Donaldson, which began serendipitously at a barbecue hosted by mutual friends. White has previously expressed her delight about meeting Donaldson, recalling her initial impression of him as “really cute.”
As Vanna White and John Donaldson continue to navigate the complexities of their relationship, it remains uncertain whether they will finally embrace marriage or choose to delay taking that significant step further into their future together.
