As RadarOnline.com reported, White wanted to "walk away" from her co-hosting duties before her recently renewed contract was up because she didn't "jibe" with Seacrest despite being fond of him and his talents.

White negotiated a salary increase after Sajak announced his retirement that locked her into the show until 2025-26; however, an insider alleged, "Vanna is retiring from the show when her contract ends, but there is a part of her that wants to walk away sooner."

"It is just so difficult to do this without Pat," the mole told the Daily Mail. "She just doesn't jibe with Ryan like she did with Pat, and no one really ever expected her to. There is just no way that she possibly could."

The source added, "Vanna feels that she has put her time in. She devoted her entire life to this show and she had an incredible run while making a fortune," but she "knows that the show needs to go in a different direction" and needs to "appeal to a younger demographic."
