In a captivating moment that has stirred up excitement online, Vanna White showcased her “H-O-T” son, Nikko Santo Pietro, in a delightful cooking video. The 67-year-old “Wheel of Fortune” icon took to Instagram to share the heartwarming clip, where she and her 30-year-old son prepared a cherished family recipe known as Uncle Roy’s Chicken.
In the video, Vanna admits her culinary skills aren’t top-notch. Standing in her kitchen, she humorously confessed, “I’m not a good cook, but fortunately my son, Nikko, is.” As the two chopped onions and ginger together, Nikko, clad in a fitted white T-shirt and jeans, demonstrated his cooking prowess while his mother assisted by adding white wine to the mixture.
The lighthearted atmosphere continued as Nikko jokingly declared the dish tasted “terrible” right before stepping out of the frame. However, Vanna’s satisfaction was evident when she sampled the meal, and she expressed her gratitude toward her son with a hug.
The post, timed with Fabulous Food Week, quickly garnered attention, but it was Nikko’s looks that captured many fans’ admiration. One follower even questioned, “Vanna, where have you been hiding Nikko? He’s GORGEOUS.” The comments overflowed with playful remarks, including one that suggested a potential cooking date between Nikko and another fan’s daughter.
Vanna shares her son Nikko and her 27-year-old daughter Gigi with her ex-husband George Pietro, with whom she was married from 1990 to 2002. Nikko isn’t just a pretty face; his LinkedIn profile reveals he is a real estate agent at Mauricio Umansky’s company, The Agency. He also enjoys hosting poetry nights, playing the piano, and prioritizing restful sleep when he’s not working.
As fans rally around this charming mother-son duo, it’s clear that their cooking session not only showcased a family recipe but also highlighted Nikko’s striking looks, making waves across social media.
