For over 40 years, Vanna White has been the wholesome face of “Wheel of Fortune,” but behind the scenes, she has hidden a wild sexual history. She once posed for Playboy and was close friends with Hugh Hefner. Former Hollywood party girl Liza Greer claims she and White had a wild night together, revealing White’s bisexual tendencies and her presence at Hefner’s infamous parties.
White’s personal life also included a tragic engagement to John Gibson, who died in a plane crash in 1986. She later married film producer George Santo Pietro, with whom she had two children before their divorce in 2002. Since 2012, White has been in a long-term relationship with John Donaldson, though they have not married.
Despite her wild past, White has maintained a clean public image. Greer detailed their night in her book “You’ll Never Make Love in This Town Again,” suggesting White’s sexual adventures were not just a one-time thing. However, White has neither confirmed nor denied these claims.
White’s career faced a challenge when semi-nude photos she took before her fame were published by Playboy against her wishes. She feared it would ruin her career but managed to maintain her status as a beloved TV personality.
