He credits his current girlfriend, Jade Slusarczyk, 23 years his junior, with helping him maintain sobriety and a stable life. Additionally, White was diagnosed with ADHD two years ago, which he believes significantly impacted his performance under pressure during his career. He also battled testicular cancer nearly 30 years ago, an experience that profoundly affected him, but he thankfully made a full recovery and went on to have another child.
