Pat Sajak, the long-time host of the popular game show Wheel of Fortune, has been married to Lesly Brown for over three decades. Fans of the show have been curious about Sajak’s wife, Lesly, and her background.
Lesly Brown, a former Playboy model, tied the knot with Sajak in 1989 at the age of 24. The couple exchanged vows in a 40-minute ceremony at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Annapolis, Maryland. Brown is a University of Maryland graduate and a former Miss Georgetown who appeared in Playboy magazine’s “Women of Washington″ feature in 1988.
The pair first met at a celebrity opening of a restaurant in Irvine, California, in 1988. Since then, they have welcomed two children, a son named Michael and a daughter named Maggie, who has pursued a career as a country music singer.
Sajak, a Chicago native, began his career as a disc jockey before serving in the US Army as a DJ for the American Forces Vietnam Network during the war in Vietnam. He later transitioned to becoming a weatherman before landing the hosting gig on Wheel of Fortune, where he has garnered numerous Emmy nominations and wins for Outstanding Game Show Host.
With an estimated net worth of $75 million, Sajak has enjoyed a successful career in the entertainment industry. He recently announced that the upcoming 41st season of Wheel of Fortune would be his last, with Ryan Seacrest set to take over as the new host in the show’s 42nd season in the fall of 2024.
Fans can catch Sajak’s final episode as host of Wheel of Fortune on June 7, where he will bid a heartfelt farewell to viewers after decades of hosting the beloved game show.
