Maggie Sajak’s romance rumors with Ross McCall, who was once engaged to the prolific actress

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Actor Ross McCall — from Band of Brothers AND White collar fame — all but confirmed he’s dating Maggie Sajak.

In the episode All the Failures with Jenny Mollen podcast, which was released on Aug. 2, McCall, 48, cryptically shared an update on his dating life. Although he revealed he had a girlfriend, he didn’t mention anyone by name. However, fans believe the girl is Maggie, 29, the daughter of the ex Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, who is now the show’s social media correspondent.

In April, Us Weekly obtained a photo of McCall and Maggie kissing while walking his dog in Los Angeles.

On the podcast, McCall shared that his dog sits on the ground when the girl in question visits him — and the dog is clearly spoiled.

“When a girl comes in, she knows she’s definitely on the floor,” he said. “So she’s been spending a lot of time on the floor lately.”

While McCall doesn’t reveal details, some fans have noticed that he often likes her photos on Instagram.

Elsewhere on the podcast, McCall explained why he prefers to keep his private life to himself.

“I’m pretty reserved for someone who’s in the spotlight,” he said. “Listen, things aren’t working out. I don’t have any bad feelings. I mean, I’ve been devastated both times. I believe in partnership, and I don’t deal with loss.”

McCall was previously engaged to actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, but the couple called off their engagement in 2008. McCall also dated Italian actress Alessandra Mastronardi. They began dating in 2017 and became engaged in 2021, but later broke it off.
