Wheel of Fortune Maggie Sajak’s Boyfriend Hints At Marriage
Jackson Olson joked on social media a while ago that he was accepting applications for a girlfriend. The applications closed in April when he went Instagram official with Maggie Sajak. DWTS viewers can expect to see her in the live studio audience once the show starts in September.

The Savannah Bananas player took to Instagram to share a heartfelt post about their relationship. “Last year I had kind of given up on finding a girl I wanted to be with. I remember thinking to myself that if I’m gonna date someone I want them to have the same morals I have and to have a kind soul. To like me for me and not for what I post on social media. To love their family and enjoy spending time with them,” he wrote.
Jackson Olson continued to gush over his new lady love. “Somehow I found all of that and more with Maggie. I’ve never met someone I thought I could spend every day with until I met her. And a major reason why is because we can be our true selves around each other.”
He hinted that things are getting serious between them. “If you think you haven’t found “the one” yet and that it’s “too late” trust me it’s not. Sometimes life only gives you what you truly want when you’ve been patient enough. So the moral of the story? Don’t rush it, and never settle,” Jackson Olson said, hinting that marriage might be in their future.
Maggie Sajak replied in the comments that she was “beyond thankful” for the Savannah Bananas player. While they’ve only been dating for a few months, fans are hoping for an engagement soon. Stay tuned for more on this developing story.
