Vanna White Cozying Up to Ryan Seacrest Amid ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Shake-Up

Game show beauty Vanna White knows which way the Wheel of Fortune is rolling and has distanced herself from ex-host Pat Sajak to jump on the Ryan Seacrest bandwagon, says a sources.

“Ryan is absolutely killing it in the ratings, and Vanna is clearly cozying up to him,” reveals an insider.

The 68-year-old letter-turner, who has graced the show since 1982, recently played nice with new host Ryan, 50, in a snowy promo for the network’s Winter Wonderland Week.

The pair looked as thick as thieves as they bundled up and hit the slopes together in Park City, Utah. When Ryan took a nosedive into the snow, Vanna skied to his rescue! “She knows Ryan’s the star and, for now at least, the best way to handle it is to play along with him,” tattles the tipster.

“She’s making a good show of it when they do their little promo clips. She’s also agreed to occasionally break bread with him for lunch or dinner.”

As previously reported, Vanna was said to have felt slighted when Ryan came aboard. Besides feeling an apparent lack of chemistry with him, his star power easily eclipsed hers. “They may never be best friends, but Vanna knows she’s got to put in the effort because viewers love him,” blabs the insider.

Meanwhile, the leggy blonde was last spotted with Pat, 78, last September. According to our mole, she’s putting that friendship on the back burner while she kisses up to Ryan.

“Vanna’s being forced to choose, and aligning with Ryan is the smart thing to do,” explains our source.
