Maggie Sajak took a spin at love — and it looks like she hit the jackpot.
The 31-year-old daughter of longtime "Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak took to social media to reveal her relationship with Savannah Bananas infielder Jackson Olson.
On April 21, Sajak and Olson both shared a photo of the pair posing in front of a Disney castle, with a simple caption, "Applications closed."

The heartfelt post comes after Olson’s viral TikTok in December, where he put himself on the market in a cheeky video titled, "2026 boyfriend application."
In the video, he pitched himself as a baseball player who doubles as an on-field dancer, a dedicated Disney fan, someone who knows "more Taylor Swift songs than you" and shared his love for musical theater.
