Wheel of Fortune‘s social correspondent, Maggie Sajak, has just gone public with her Savannah Bananas beau. Now, Jackson Olson has been the third cast member to be announced for Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars. So, how does the WoF legacy feel about him competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy? Keep reading for more details on what Maggie had to say.
Maggie Sajak’s New Man Is Ready To Dance
For several years, Maggie Sajak has worked on Wheel of Fortune. When her father, Pat Sajak, announced his retirement, some wondered if she would take over. They questioned if Vanna White would exit alongside Pat, leaving an opening for Maggie. However, that did not happen with Ryan Seacrest becoming the new host and Vanna signing on for several more years. Fortunately, Maggie continued on in a social aspect, and she also had a boyfriend, Ross McCall. He was an actor from Scotland and was nearly two decades her senior.
They seemingly split, and now she is dating Savannah Bananas’ very own Jackson Olson. He has just been announced as the latest competitor for DWTS, but how does Maggie feel about this? She is thrilled as she shared pics from Jackson’s big reveal for the show, along with these kind words:
- “SO PROUD @jacksonolson_ !!!”
- “Beyond proud of you @jacksonolson_ …the dance floor better get ready”
Jackson has explained that he was a very shy kid, so being on Dancing With the Stars is a huge deal. Moreover, he is on a baseball team that gets an immense amount of attention. Getting tickets to their games involves a lottery, and it is almost impossible to get in. Yet, he has found a way to conquer his fears and is not only in a public profession but in a public romance with Maggie Sajak.
More To Be Revealed
As of now, only three people have been revealed for Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars. It will be Ciara Miller, Maura Higgins, and Jackson Olson. However, more will be announced on September 2nd. Could Maggie Sajak be part of the show? That would be an interesting move, but she will definitely be in the ballroom watching Jackson’s moves. Fans are very excited to see who he will be paired with and how he shakes it:
- I have pushing for this for YEARS, I could not be more excited!!!!
- Yay!! Congrats Jackson, that’s awesome!! I’m so happy for you!
- Can’t wait Jackson. I can’t wait to see all the votes for you.
Someone asked if he would still be on the team, and it appears he will be; he just may miss the playoffs. Time will tell how that goes, and it is too early to tell.
