Rhonda Walker’s Glamorous Wedding
The enchanting venue in California with a vineyard as the wedding backdrop where she took her vows with her husband Jason Drumheller certainly made her dreamy day special in every way possible.
For Drumheller, it was love at first sight when he first saw Walker in his office at a meeting for the Rhonda Walker Foundation, a non-profit organization. The love story began after the two got introduced through a mutual friend.
Then came the big surprise for Walker when Drumheller surprised her with an engagement ring on their trip to Miami in 2018. Keeping up with their busy lives for a while, they waited until the beautiful summer day of 2020 to take their vows.
As Walker had always dreamt of her dreamy wedding in California’s wine country for its enticing ambiance and perfect weather, her dream indeed became a reality. Moreover, this all happened during her medical leave from work, giving her the perfect time and space to plan the special day.
And the happily married couple currently resides in Oakland County.

Walker Returns To WDIV-Local 4 After Recovery From Surgery
The news anchor who always lived a healthy life at her best was diagnosed with a health condition that required major surgery in 2019. As prescribed by her doctor, she had to be on six to eight weeks of complete rest for her recovery.
And, so Walker took a break from her work at Local 4 and made her return in July. Sharing the healing process and her excitement to be back at work soon, she wrote a message to her viewers on the Local 4 website.
Also, through her message, she urged people never to ignore any physical pain and consult the doctor for proper diagnosis.
