Kelly Ripa Admits To Vanna White That She Thought ‘Wheel Of Fortune’s Pat Sajak Was Her Husband: “I Think I Speak For A Lot Of People”
Vanna White and Pat Sajak‘s chemistry on Wheel of Fortune may be a result of their 41-year-long collaboration. But some fans — including Kelly Ripa — have been under the impression that Sajak was more than just White’s work husband.
On this morning’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa and Mark Consuelos welcomed White onto the show, where she opened up about taking her “final spin” with her longtime co-host, who is retiring after the show’s current season.
“I can’t think about it,” she told Ripa and Consuelos. “After 41 years together? It’s hard.”
When Ripa asked White if she and Sajak plan to mark his last spin as “a very memorable moment,” White replied that they “have not discussed it.”
“I mean, you guys are married and everything, you know how this works,” White continued. “We’ve been together for so long, when he walks up the stairs, I can tell what kind of a mood he’s in!”
Ripa admitted, “For years, I mean, I think I speak for a lot of people, I thought you and Pat were married. Imagine my surprise when Pat came to our house for dinner one night —”
Consuelos interjected, “And you weren’t there!”

Ripa continued, “I was like, ‘Oh my god! Pat and Vanna must have gotten divorced!’”
As White and the audience burst into laughter, Ripa and Consuelos then dished on her soon-to-be co-host, Ryan Seacrest, who has co-hosted with the both of them on Live previously.
“You have to tell me everything!” White exclaimed.
Consuelos chimed in to inform White that Seacrest “can’t spell,” which Ripa jokingly affirmed. He then asked White if she has “received texts” from him yet that may have proven as such.
White said she has, but guessed Seacrest may be trying to be “on his best behavior” with her.
Ripa then quipped,”Maybe he’s dictating the texts and somebody’s typing it for him. Because, I will say — and I can say this freely, we have all experienced it here — when Ryan Seacrest texts you, you say to yourself, ‘This person is trying to tell me something.’ That’s the first thing. It’s that you realize that Ryan is trying to tell you something, but oftentimes, you just don’t know what that is!”
White thanked them for the humorous warning, which may suggest some more work for her behind the letter board next season.
