Let's talk about Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White, two of the most iconic figures on TV today. As the cohosts of the legendary game show, 'Wheel of Fortune,' they've captured the hearts of millions. But lately, there's been some chatter about how incredibly slim they both are, and it's making people around them more than a little uneasy.
According to sources who spoke exclusively to Closer, there's a growing belief that Ryan, 49, and Vanna, 67, might actually be in some kind of unspoken competition to see who can stay skinniest. Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds exhausting. And a little concerning, if I'm being honest.
One insider opened up to us, saying, "It's just uncomfortable to watch. These two are so thin, it's almost alarming. Vanna looks like a lollipop stick, and Ryan has been known as 'manorexic' for years. Together, they're both clearly obsessed with staying as slim as possible. It's like they're in some sort of bizarre race to see who can be the thinnest." Now, that's a pretty intense dynamic, right?

Behind the Scenes: The Pressure to Stay Slim
For years, Vanna has always been petite compared to her former cohost, Pat Sajak, who stands at 5-foot-6. But now, with Ryan on board, things have shifted. Standing at 5-foot-8, Ryan is slim and petite, which, according to insiders, makes Vanna feel "bigger." And that's not sitting well with her. "She's overcompensating by dieting drastically," the source reveals. "She doesn't want to be overshadowed by Ryan's slim frame."
But here's the kicker: Ryan seems to be even more focused on his weight. "He's fixated on the scales," says another insider. "It's like he's in a constant battle with his body, and it's starting to take a toll on those around him. People are genuinely worried about both of them and wish they'd stop this relentless dieting and focus on eating more balanced meals."
More Than Just Weight: The Pressure to Look Perfect
Weight isn't the only thing on their minds. Earlier this month, a separate source told Closer that Vanna has been feeling the pressure to turn back the clock with a few cosmetic procedures. After all, she's now paired with Ryan, who seems to have discovered the fountain of youth. "Vanna's more conscious of her looks than ever before," the source explains. "She looks great, but she's noticing the lines and wrinkles more now that Ryan's on board. It's like she's trying to keep up with his youthful appearance."
Everyone assumes Vanna has had a few nips and tucks over the years, but now she's feeling even more pressure. "She likes to downplay it, but with Ryan standing next to her, she's putting more pressure on herself," says the insider. Meanwhile, Ryan himself has reportedly gone under the knife this year to get camera-ready for his new role. "He can't handle getting old on camera and is fighting it every step of the way," the source adds. "He's a big fan of Botox and fillers, and while some might think it's over the top, Ryan's very happy with how he looks—and that attitude is definitely influencing Vanna."
Ryan's Debut: A New Era for 'Wheel of Fortune'
Ryan made his much-anticipated debut on 'Wheel of Fortune' during the season 42 premiere on September 9. Vanna was by his side, ready to usher in a new chapter for the show after Pat Sajak announced his retirement. Ryan, dressed in a sleek black suit, and Vanna, stunning in a blue one-shoulder dress, stepped onto the stage to greet fans. "I still can't believe my luck, being here with you tonight to continue this legacy of this incredible show with all of you," Ryan told the audience.
During the opening, Ryan shared a heartfelt moment, recalling how he used to watch the show as a kid growing up in Georgia. "I have some very big shoes to fill," he admitted. Before the taping, Ryan gave fans a behind-the-scenes look, with Vanna commenting, "It's like remodeling your home after 40 years. You still feel like you're at home, but it's just a little updated." It's clear they're both excited for this new chapter, but the pressure to look perfect is certainly part of the package.
