Pat Sajak's daughter Maggie Sajak has seemingly confirmed she has a new man in her life: actor Ross McCall.

After sparking romance rumors over a month ago thanks to some cheeky social media activity, the two were spotted walking hand in hand, and sharing a kiss, while out in Los Angeles.

Maggie, 29, works as a social correspondent for Wheel of Fortune, which her dad is officially bidding farewell to on June 7.

Ross, 48, whose most recent film credits include one episode on 2022's mini-series The Offer, and six episodes on Suspicion the same year.

He was previously engaged to fellow actress Jennifer Love Hewitt; the two dated for two years before getting engaged in November of 2007, however they called it quits in January of 2009. He was also previously engaged to Italian actress Alessandra Mastronardi in 2021, however they split a year later.

Maggie and Ross first sparked rumors of a romance in February of this year, after the latter wrote: "Knockout ;)" on one of Maggie's Instagram posts.

Though both Maggie and Patrick were virtually raised on the set of Wheel of Fortune, rather than following in his father's footsteps, Patrick has instead pursued a career in medicine. When he graduated from medical school back in 2021, his little sister publicly supported him with a touching Instagram post, writing: "My big brother officially became a doctor today, and I am the MOST proud. Congrats @patricksajak, MD!!!"
