On Friday, the 'Wheel of Fortune' star appeared on the 'Tamron Hall Show' and talked about the death of fiancé, 'Young and the Restless' actor John Gibson, in 1986 plane crash.
“It was obviously very hard, it's so hard to lose someone instantly like that and be in the public eye, you want to mourn yourself,' she recalled.
'But I have to say there were so many people that reached out to me, fans that shared their experiences so I didn't feel alone, I felt loved and I felt protected, but the fans that reached out and just all of America that reached out made it a little bit easier if that's possible,' White added.
In 1990, White married George Santo Pietro, whom she divorced in 2002. She was then engaged to businessman Michael Kaye until 2006.
Since 2012, the TV personality has been dating John Donaldson, and though they are not married, that hasn't affected the closeness of their relationship.
“He feels like a fiancé, he feels like a husband,' White said. 'We've been together a long time. I’d call him my husband.”

Vanna White’s personal life was not so happy. In her young years she was in love with an actor John Gibson, but he was killed in a plane crash. After that the model and TV host Vanna was depressed, but her fans supported her and she coped with her frustration with their help.
Being extremely beautiful, Vanna had lots of male fans, who were ready for everything to capture her heart. But she was married just once in her life.
George Santo Pietro was born in a small, but very prestigious Californian town of Beverly Hills. He started his career as a restaurateur, and was very successful in this area. The man ran a lavish restaurant in Bel-Air. George joined his food business with a huge passion to movie industry. In early 1990s he worked as a dolly grip, and not because he needed money, but because he wanted to be the part of this process. Later he turned into an occasional film producer and film director.
George was a big fan of Vanna White, an effective leggy blonde. No wonder that this rich man, who was so interested in movie making, fell in love just with celebrities. Previously he dated a famous actress, mostly known by her role in “Dynasty” – Linda Evans. They were an item during 4 years and had a daughter Andrea together. After their split in 1986 George fell in love with Vanna White.
Santo Pietro chose a long way to Vanna’s heart – he became her friend. He stood by her side, when she missed her late fiancé. In late 1980s they started dating.
White and Santo Pietro tied a knot on December 31, 1990. They dreamed about kids, but their first attempt was not successful – Vanna had a miscarriage. George supported her in this situation too. Soon they became parents of two cute kids.
Their marriage lasted during 12 happy years. But in May, 2002 the couple divorced. The reason of such decision was not publicized. George and Vanna tried to remain friends – mostly because of their kids. In 2005 George married another woman – a producer Melissa Mascari. Two years later the couple welcomed a daughter Chiara Santo Pietro. And what’s about Vanna White?

But a beautiful woman can’t be single for long. Nowadays she is dating a contractor John Donaldson. Wheel of Fortune host and a businessman have been dating since 2012. He runs his own construction company, which he founded in 1994.
