Vanna White’s fans are obsessed with her ‘hot’ son in rare video
Fans are spelling out a three letter word when it comes to Vanna White’s son, Nikko Santo Pietro.
The 67-year-old leggy letter turner shared a cooking video to Instagram on Monday alongside her 30-year-old son showing the two whipping up a chicken dish in the kitchen.
In the reel, White and Nikko filmed themselves making the recipe that included ginger and onions. Nikko decided to take the reins because “The Wheel of Fortune” hostess, as she put it, is “not a good cook.”
White, who shares Nikko with her ex, George Santo Pietro, captioned her post, “In celebration of Fabulous Food Week, Nikko and I are whipping up Uncle Roy’s Chicken. YUM!”
White added, “Screenshot the recipe at the end and give it a try at home!”
Fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on the television star’s genes, with one cheeky follower writing, “Is son the menu, too? Err I mean great video!!”
Another user chimed in, “Vanna where have you been hiding Nikko? He’s GORGEOUS.”
The compliments didn’t stop there, as dozens of comments read: “If your son is free, my daughter is also. Lol they can cook together” and “My next three letters are H-O-T!”
“My oven is already preheated,” one fan quipped while another asked, “What’s his @?”
Besides Nikko, White shares a daughter, Gigi, 27, with her ex-husband. The former couple were married for 12 years before calling it quits in 2002.
Nikko is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, according to his LinkedIn profile, and lists cooking as one of his “most significant hobbies.”
According to the agent, it’s a love he “inherited” from his restauranteur dad, who owned two “iconic” California eateries.
Nikko described himself as “a social enthusiast who frequently hosts poetry nights” and enjoys “bringing people together.” He’s also fond of “playing the piano, reading, and prioritizing restful sleep.”
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time White has shared glimpses of her children on her social media. The game-show connoisseur even took a moment to gush over her kids during an interview with Parade earlier this year.
“I love bragging! 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,” White told the outlet. “My daughter went to New York University and graduated with an art degree. Now she’s a very good tattoo artist. She loves putting her art on someone’s body that will be there forever. The work she does is beautiful.”
The mom of two is even considering getting inked herself.
“So I can look at it every day and have a piece of (Gigi) with me,” White explained of her possible future tattoo.
