Sylvester Stallone and Vanna White’s Relationship
The Wheel of Fortunestaple and action star were a cute couple in 1988, attending the White House Correspondents Dinner together that April.
The Buffalo News reported that the pair first met at a book convention.
A month later, UPI reported that Stallone, then 42, joked about White, then 31, while chatting up a young fan with cerebral palsy named Anthony Byrge, Jr.
According to the outlet, Stallone compared the inquisitive Byrge’s rapid-fire questions to a Mike Wallace interview and told the 10-year-old, “Don’t take Vanna from me.”
That June, Stallone dropped in on a Chicago Tribune interview with White, in which she was described as “basking” in his visit.
The Tulsa King star also joined White at a dinner for the Wheel of Fortune staff.
Alas, the fling clearly wasn’t built to last. Stallone went on to date a series of models, perhaps setting the stage for Leonardo DiCapriolater on, and married Jennifer Flavin.
