Maggie Sajak, the daughter of longtime co-host Pat Sajak, commented, “I am so very sorry for your loss. My whole family is thinking of you,” on White’s Instagram post.
Daily Mail reports the longtime Wheel hostess was raised by Herbert White Jr. after her mother, Joan, and her biological father, Miguel Angel Rosich, separated when she was an infant.
Vanna took Herbert’s last name before initially achieving superstardom as the iconic Wheel of Fortune hostess in 1982, Grand Strand magazine reports.
Herbert White Jr. is listed as a “successful real estate agent broker/owner of White’s Realty” on his daughter’s IMDB page.
