Maggie is not an only child

Patrick has stayed out of the public eye more than his younger sister. In May 2021, Maggie took to Instagram and shared a picture with Patrick, announcing he had graduated from medical school.
“My big brother officially became a doctor today, and I am the MOST proud. Congrats Patrick Sajack, MD!!!” she captioned to post.
The “Wheel of Fortune” host also announced the news during an episode of the game show in 2021.
“Do you mind if I do a little parental bragging here?” Sajak told White, per People magazine. “So, you know my son, Patrick, you’ve known him all his life. Well, he’s made it through medical school, and he is now officially Dr. Sajak, and we’re all thrilled.”
Sajak joked “he insists that I call him Dr. Sajak.”
