White also shared personal memories from their time off-camera. "We've watched our children grow up together, we've traveled all over the world, we've eaten hundreds of meals together, we've laughed, we've cried, we've celebrated," she continued.

Pat Sajak officially bid farewell to viewers on June 7, 2024, in an emotional final episode. The 77-year-old host reflected on his years at the helm, sharing a heartfelt message to the millions who tuned in night after night.
Sajak said he always felt a responsibility to make "Wheel of Fortune" a safe space for family fun, free of politics or controversy, but over time, it became so much more, from helping kids learn their letters to bringing generations together. He called it an honor to be part of viewers' lives for so many years.
He also took a moment to thank the "Wheel of Fortune" crew for their skill, dedication, and good humor.
"It worked because you made it work. It looked great because you made it look great, and you made my job so much easier," Sajak said. "Your skills and dedication and good humor made this a place I always wanted to be."
Vanna White's Sweet Pat Sajak Reunion Comes Amid Rumors Her 'Wheel Of Fortune' Future Is In Jeopardy

Vanna White's heartwarming Hawaii reunion with Pat Sajak comes at a time when behind-the-scenes whispers suggest her own "Wheel of Fortune" future might not be as secure as it once seemed.
Sources close to the show claim Sajak's daughter, Maggie Sajak, has quietly emerged as a possible successor to the 68-year-old co-host. Maggie, who became the show's social correspondent in 2021, already has an inside look at how the production runs both on and off camera.
Her growing role, coupled with her reportedly much lower salary compared to Vanna's $10 million per year, has producers eyeing her as a budget-friendly alternative.
"It's no wonder Vanna is worried," one insider said, hinting that the beloved TV icon could be edged out if the network decides to tighten costs.
As of now, nothing has been confirmed regarding White's future on the game show.
