“Friends on and off camera. Enjoying one of our favorites, Chicken and Dumplings,” White, 67, captioned her Instagram post.
Seacrest, for his part, rushed to the comments section, writing, “Always a treat! Here’s to more fun moments and delicious bites 🥟!”

White’s post came just weeks after it was reported that she and Seacrest, who replaced longtime host Pat Sajak after 41 seasons, aren’t seeing eye-to-eye.
“She just doesn’t jibe with Ryan like she did with Pat, and no one really ever expected her to,” a source told the Daily Mail. “There is just no way that she possibly could.”

However, an insider close to Seacrest told The Post, “There is absolutely no truth to this story. Ryan and Vanna have started working together and have been having a lovely time on set.”
Seacrest will officially replace Sajak, 77, when “Wheel of Fortune” returns for Season 42 in September.
White, meanwhile, extended her contract to stay on the show until the 2025-2026 season after a salary dispute. According to TMZ, White secured a “substantial pay increase” with her deal.
White, who first appeared on Wheel of Fortune in 1982, was reportedly considering leaving “Wheel of Fortune” following Pat Sajak’s exit.

White’s contract is up in 2026, but the insider claimed that “there is a part of her that wants to walk away sooner.”
“It is just so difficult to do this without Pat,” the source said.
