When it comes to Vanna White’s son, Nikko Santo Pietro, fans are expressing a three-letter sentiment. The 67-year-old iconic letter turner recently shared a cooking video on Instagram with her 30-year-old son, showcasing their culinary skills in the kitchen. In the video, White and Nikko prepared a chicken dish featuring ginger and onions. Nikko took charge of the cooking, as White humorously admitted, “I’m not a good cook.” White, who shares Nikko with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro, captioned the post, “In celebration of Fabulous Food Week, Nikko and I are whipping up Uncle Roy’s Chicken. YUM!” She also encouraged her followers to “Screenshot the recipe at the end and give it a try at home!”

The video sparked a flurry of comments from fans, with one playful follower remarking, “Is son the menu, too? Err I mean great video!!” Another fan exclaimed, “Vanna where have you been hiding Nikko? He’s GORGEOUS.” Dozens of comments poured in, such as, “If your son is free, my daughter is also. Lol they can cook together” and “My next three letters are H-O-T!” One fan even joked, “My oven is already preheated,” while another inquired, “What’s his @?”

Besides Nikko, White also shares a daughter, Gigi, 27, with her ex-husband. The former couple was married for 12 years before their split in 2002. Nikko, a real estate agent in Los Angeles, lists cooking as one of his significant hobbies, a passion he attributes to his restaurateur father, who owned two iconic California eateries. Nikko describes himself as a social enthusiast who frequently hosts poetry nights and enjoys bringing people together. His interests also include playing the piano, reading, and prioritizing restful sleep.

This isn’t the first time White has shared glimpses of her children on social media. Earlier this year, she gushed about her kids during an interview with Parade. “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 said. “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.” White even hinted at the possibility of getting a tattoo herself, “So I can look at it every day and have a piece of (Gigi) with me.”
