The Real Reason Pat Sajak And Vanna White Never Dated

With Pat Sajak and Vanna White possessing undeniable chemistry on screen, it would be easy for viewers to mistake them for a couple. The truth is, both have been married twice, but never to each other. The reason? They see each other as friends and family, not lovers.

"People see the chemistry between Pat and me," White told Closer Weekly in 2019. "We are like brother and sister, and I think that is what makes it work." Sajak added that their friendship is like "lightning in a bottle," and they're so friendly that White said they've "never had one argument."

Their unwavering commitment to each other is what has made Wheel of Fortune so popular — so much so that Sajak said that he will only work with White until the show ends. "My goal is to leave before people turn on the TV and go, 'What the hell happened to him?'" Sajak joked on stage at Paley Center for Media in 2017 via Entertainment Weekly. "I can't imagine being there with someone else."
