Fans of the popular and long-running game show Wheel of Fortune are concerned about host Vanna White allegedly leaving the series in 2025. Following the exit of former Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, the rumors surrounding White’s tenure on the show have been swirling across the internet. Here is everything that fans need to know about the rumors regarding Vanna White preparing to leave the show this year.
Is Vanna White leaving Wheel of Fortune in 2025?
No, 67-year-old Vanna White is not leaving Wheel of Fortune in 2025.
White’s departure from the show is still a long way away as her contract with the game show is not ending this year. According to a report by Deadline, Vanna White renewed her deal with Wheel of Fortune in 2023 for another two years, which means that her contract concludes in 2026.
Rumors of her possible exit from the show in the future have been going around for a long time. The speculations arose from a claim made by a show insider to the Daily Mail in 2024. The insider asserted that White was considering “retiring from the show when her contract ends” as she was seemingly finding it “difficult” to host without Pat Sajak.
Pat Sajak ended his time as the co-host of Wheel of Fortune in June 2024 and was replaced by Ryan Seacrest.
The insider further talked about the connection between White and Seacrest and claimed that she “doesn’t jibe” with the 50-year-old as “she did with Pat, and no one really ever expected her to. There is just no way that she possibly could.” They also conveyed that White was allegedly planning to go a different route with Wheel of Fortune “and appeal to a younger demographic.” As per their claims, this may be done by getting a younger co-host for Seacrest.
However, there has been no confirmation from Vanna White on these claims, nor she has made any announcement regarding her retirement from Wheel of Fortune.
