In a delightful social media moment that won fans’ hearts, beloved “Wheel of Fortune” co-host Vanna White recently shared a charming video featuring her son, Nicholas “Nikko” Santo Pietro. The post, uploaded on December 2, features a heartwarming kitchen scene where the talented young man prepares one of his mother’s favorite dishes, Uncle Roy’s Chicken.
Vanna, who has always expressed her pride in being the mother of Nikko and her sister, Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro, took the opportunity to share not only a recipe but also a glimpse into their close relationship. In her Instagram post, she humorously admitted: “First of all, I’m not a good cook, but luckily my son Nikko is, so he’s going to make one of my favorite dishes.” He does it as well as Uncle Roy.
As Nikko wore a well-fitted white T-shirt and backwards baseball cap, fans couldn’t help but notice her good looks and culinary prowess. Comments poured in, with one fan asking: “Vanna, where are you hiding Nikko?” It’s MAGNIFICENT!” Another admirer exclaimed: “Your son is hot!!! The playful banter continued with one user cheekily asking, “Is my son on the menu too?” Um, I mean, great video!!”

Nikko’s charm and culinary skills come as no surprise; he seems to have inherited the best traits of both his parents. His father, George Santo Pietro, is a successful restaurateur who owned two high-end dining establishments in Los Angeles. Growing up in a culinary-rich environment, it is clear that Nikko developed a passion for cooking. However, while he enjoys preparing delicious meals, his primary career is in real estate, where he works with The Agency.
Despite her growing popularity, Nikko keeps her personal life under wraps, leaving fans curious about her relationship status. This isn’t the first time the Internet has taken an interest in the handsome real estate agent; her beauty has been a topic of conversation for years. In 2018, Vanna shared a cute selfie with Nikko on X (formerly known as Twitter), prompting fans to swoon over her charm. One user even playfully suggested he would make a great son-in-law, while another asked: “Does your son need a boyfriend?” I wonder…”
Vanna White’s pride in her children is evident in her public remarks. In a recent interview with Parade, she praised Nikko and Gigi. “My son works in a real estate agency and he does an excellent job. He’s dedicated and he’s hungry to make deals,” she said. She also expressed admiration for her daughter, who graduated with an art degree from New York University and is now making a name for herself as a talented tattoo artist. “I’m a fan of the body art she creates,” Vanna added, showing her support for Gigi’s artistic endeavors.
The bond between Vanna and her children is palpable, and this was especially evident on National Son and Daughter Day in August 2022, when she shared candid photos of her children. Fans were quick to comment on how gorgeous Nikko and Gigi look, with one fan exclaiming: “You really do make pretty babies, Miss Vanna!!”
While Vanna continues to shine on television, her children are carving their own paths, each showcasing their unique talents and charm. Nikko’s recent cooking video not only showcases her culinary skills, but also serves as a reminder of the strong family bonds that Vanna cherishes. As her children become successful adults, it’s clear that Vanna White is not only an on-screen star, but also a proud mother celebrating her family’s accomplishments.
