Pat, 77, was photographed days before his final episode of Wheel of Fortune aired.

He and Lesly, 59, joined friends at a Ivy at the Shore in Santa Monica.

Lesly wore jeans, a white blouse with flowers on it, and brown open-toed heels.

She added a clutch and designer sunglasses to her look and had her wavy brown hair down and flowing behind her.

Pat ditched the usual suit look and instead wore blue dress pants, a white collard shirt, and a blue sweater over it.

He added black dress shoes and designer shades to complete the look.

RARE OUTING

This is the first time the couple has been photographed out together in seven years.

Pat was seen getting out of his car and then had a slip of paper and a wad of money in his hand as he and Lesly and another couple entered the restaurant.

The couple, who is known for their privacy, was photographed enjoying their lunch outside.

They enjoyed the sea breeze as they chatted with their friends.

Ivy at the Shore is very close to the Pacific Ocean and is very popular amongst older residents.

Despite the fact that Pat’s final episode aired on June 7, he has been done filming the show since April, so he has more time for family and friends.

HATS OFF TO HIM

In May, Pat was spotted out on an errand alone.

He wore jeans, a maroon button-down shirt, tan slip-on shoes, a baseball cap, and sunglasses on May 22.

After 41 seasons, Pat’s final episode aired on June 7 at 7:30pm on ABC.

At the end of the episode, he held back tears as he delivered one final message to the Wheel community.

“Well, the time has come to say goodbye,” he said in the video.

“I have a few thanks and acknowledgments before I go, and I want to start with all watching out there.”

“It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade,” he said, tearing up.

“And I’ve always felt that privilege came with the responsibility to keep this daily half-hour a safe place for family fun.”

Pat thanked viewers for allowing him into their lives.

He ended by thanking the crew and Vanna.
