In a delightful social media moment that has captured the hearts of fans, Vanna White, the beloved co-host of “Wheel of Fortune,” recently shared a charming video featuring her son, Nicholas “Nikko” Santo Pietro. The post, which went live on December 2, showcases a cozy kitchen scene where the talented young man is whipping up one of his mother’s favorite dishes, Uncle Roy’s Chicken.
Vanna, who has always expressed her pride in being a mother to Nikko and his sister, Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro, took the opportunity to share not just a recipe but also a glimpse of their close-knit relationship. In her Instagram post, she humorously admitted, “First of all, I’m not a good cook, but fortunately, my son Nikko is, so he’s going to make one of my favorite dishes. He does it just as good as Uncle Roy.”
As Nikko donned a snug white T-shirt and a backward baseball cap, fans couldn’t help but notice his good looks and cooking prowess. Comments flooded in, with one fan asking, “Vanna, where have you been hiding Nikko? He’s GORGEOUS!” Another admirer exclaimed, “Your son is hot!!!” The playful banter continued with one user cheekily asking, “Is son on the menu too? Err, I mean great video!!”

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