Ryan Seacrest Praises Vanna White as an “Institution” on ‘Wheel of Fortune’
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Seacrest credited White with helping him learn the ropes. In Seacrest’s exact words: “She’s an institution, an icon.” The TV host shared how generous White is, which might not always be evident on camera. Seacrest recalled confiding in his cohost about his habit of drinking strong black coffee, which sometimes visibly stains his teeth. The next day, White surprised him by bringing a pack of whitening strips. Seacrest admitted that he was genuinely touched by the kind gesture.
We’ve Had a Magical Time Together
In a previous interview with PEOPLE, Seacrest expressed his admiration for Vanna White and confessed that he couldn’t imagine the game show without her. The new Wheel of Fortune host added that while he has known Vanna for two decades, they have gotten closer while shooting together. Seacrest revealed he texted White the day he signed his contract to share his excitement about working with her. “We’ve had a magical time together,” added the host.
He later added that he wasn’t looking to rush things and was taking his time with love. The news comes a few months after Seacrest broke up with model Aubrey Paige back in April 2024 after dating for three years. At the time, an insider told PEOPLE that the former couple had parted ways on a good note and that they still remained good friends.
However, another source told Closer Weekly that the two called it quits because of Seacrest’s busy work schedule. According to the insider, Paige wanted to get married and have kids, while Seacrest wasn’t ready for that. 2024 marked Seacrest’s 20th year as a host on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. But even with his years of experience, the host admitted that there’s always chaos going on behind the scenes that viewers never know about. Wheel of Fortune Season 42 airs weeknights on ABC. Episodes are also available to stream on YouTube TV in the U.S./
