Ryan and Maggie Sajak helped Vanna mark a celebratory occasion.

Ryan Seacrest pulled off the ultimate surprise for Vanna White — and he had the sweetest reason for doing so.

The duo famously star on Wheel of Fortune together, and Ryan decided he should find a way to celebrate Vanna’s 68th birthday on February 18. As folks saw in an Instagram clip, he and WoF social media correspondent Maggie Sajak chose to mark the occasion by throwing their co-worker a surprise party. But in typical Ryan fashion, the celebration was held in the most unexpected of places.

As viewers watched Ryan and Maggie hide out in Vanna’s dressing room, it didn’t take long before she spotted the two in her safe space. What’s more, they made sure to give Vanna a birthday cake and balloons, all while they serenaded her with a heartfelt (yet also off-key) rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

“We just had to surprise Vanna for her birthday! 🎂,” the caption read alongside the snippet. “Happiest of birthdays to the one and only, Vanna White!”

When fans saw Ryan’s take on throwing Vanna a birthday party, they immediately reached out to send their own warm wishes.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR WORD QUEEN!!! 🔠👸,” one person exclaimed in the comments. “Happy Birthday Vanna White, you are still my number 1 favorite hostess of Wheel of Fortune,” another declared. “Happy Happy Birthday Vanna! Wishing you a fabulous birthday celebrating you!” a different follower added.

Well, this is quite a way to kick off another year! And if that wasn’t enough, Ryan made sure to pay tribute to his co-star in his own unique way. Posting a series of photos of them on and away from the cameras on Instagram, he displayed how their friendship has expanded beyond the TV studio they film Wheel of Fortune in.

“Happy birthday to the one and only @officialvannawhite! 🎂,” he sweetly captioned the post on February 18.

We so adore this friendship, and we can only imagine what Vanna will have in store when it comes time to celebrate Ryan’s big day!
