Lesly Brown is From Maryland, USA
A native of Gambrills, Annapolis, Maryland, Lesly Brown has Caucasian ethnicity and hails from a family of five. Amongst her relatives is her late dad, D. Michael Brown. He was a dentist who maintained a practice and also taught in college for several years. The name of Lesly Brown’s mother is Maria Piaro Brown. She has two sisters namely Kelly M. Brown and Wendy A. Brown (who is also a dentist).
Lesly Brown was born on the 18th of February 1965, meaning that she is 59 years old. This also shows that she is about 19 years younger than her husband, who is 77 years old as he was born on October 26, 1946.
Pat Sajak’s Wife is a Former Model-Turned- Photographer
Lesly Brown grew up in the town of Gambrills and completed her high school diploma in the early 80s. She later enrolled in college, the University of Maryland where she studied TV production and successfully graduated.
While studying in college, she dabbled into modeling and beauty pageantry and was able to taste some success. She won the title of Miss Georgetown. She was also featured in the November 1988 issue of Playboy titled Women of Washington. However, with the passage of time, Lesly decided to leave all that to become a photographer.
She rolled back her modeling career in the late 80s and is now focused on photography. There are no exact details on her portfolio or preferred subject matter but there is no doubt that she would be good at what she does.
Lesly Brown and Pat Sajak Began Dating in 1988 and Married a Year Later
Lesly Brown first met her future husband in 1988 at the opening of a celebrity restaurant in Irvine, California. He was already a well-known game show host at that time and was 42 years old. She, on the other hand, was a 23-year-old who was trying to make it in showbiz.
There was seemingly a gulf of difference between them but they, nevertheless, found that they had some mutual interests. They started dating and their attraction for each other grew very quickly. However, the almost 20-year age difference between them raised some eyebrows, with a lot of people insinuating that Lesly was a gold digger, but the couple did not budge. They got engaged within months of their relationship and tied the knot one year in.
Lesly Brown and Pat Sajak got married on New Year’s Day 1989 at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Annapolis. The ceremony had about 150 guests, including a few celebrity personalities such as Sajak’s game show colleague, Vanna White. Brown’s family was of course in attendance and the reception ceremony was hosted by her dad.

She has also attended the taping of some of the episodes of his iconic show, including the 7000th episode in 2019 which made him the longest-running game show host on TV.
Lesly Brown has also supported her husband’s charitable endeavors, both through their own foundation as well as other people’s organizations. Her husband appreciates everything she has done and never fails to make it known. For instance, he sends her a birthday shout-out on air each year and in 2021, he quipped that the reason he did so was so he could get out of his obligation to buy her a gift.
