‘Wheel of Fortune’s’ Vanna White’s Rarely-Seen Daughter, Who Turns 27, Looks Like Mom’s ‘Young’ Version, Sparking Talks
Many internet users were amazed by Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro, who turned 27 not long ago, when she appeared in a touching birthday tribute posted by her mother, Vanna White.
A user on the internet said, “Oh my. “Definitively favors Vanna but got her Dad’s Italian complexion! She’s like a little Vanna,” one commenter said about Gigi, while another remarked on how much she looked like her father, George Santo Pietro. What a lovely pairing! Greetings and best wishes for your special day, Giovanna!
A snapshot of Gigi as an infant and an adult were displayed side by side in Vanna’s Instagram post. Gigi wore a blue outfit and a white top in her baby photo. Today, Gigi sported a sleeveless top, a breathtaking arm tattoo, sunglasses, and the ideal photo.
There were additional reactions online when this rare glimpse of Gigi was shared. Seems quite similar to you, Vanna, with darker features! “Happy Birthday!” another admirer joined in. According to a fourth, Gigi’s mother is the one responsible for her attractiveness.
“Happy 27th to my amazing daughter @gigisantopietro!,” Vanna wrote in a heartfelt birthday tribute to her daughter in an Instagram post. Your intelligence, kindness, beauty, and artistic talent are truly remarkable. Dear Gigi, you mean the world to me. ❤️ “Lincoln Tattoo Company” wishes you a happy birthday and wishes you love.
Through her hashtags, Vanna acknowledged Gigi’s artistic talent and her achievements. In an interview from 2023, Vanna spoke highly of Gigi’s tattooing career. She came clean about the fact that she “never dreamed” her youngest kid, who had a degree in art from New York University, would go into tattooing.
Gigi and Vanna had a profound talk about her life’s calling, Vanna recounted. In her heart, she still remembered her question, “Gigi, why tattooing?” “Mom, my art is on someone’s body for the rest of their lives,” Gigi said with genuine emotion.
“I was like, ‘That’s pretty cool,’” the ex-“Wheel of Fortune” co-host said. You must exude such competence and self-assurance. No room for error. Because of this, she adores it. For the last three years, she has been performing an excellent job with that. She has my utmost admiration.
Gigi even found out that the delighted mother was willing to have a tattoo from her. I want us to have matching hearts, where she draws a small heart on herself and another on me. She explained that she felt compelled to take action because the responsibility would fall on her. Even though she rarely sees her son, Vanna has become close to him and Gigi.
On the occasion of her son Nikko Santo Pietro’s 30th birthday on June 10, Vanna shocked the internet with images of him. She celebrated his birthday with a touching Instagram picture, and many people commented on how much he looked like his mom.
Two images of Vanna and Nikko were superimposed on top of each other in her post. The first picture was a snapshot from Nikko’s childhood, showing his mother and son playing together. As Vanna delicately ran her index finger over Nikko’s small face, the little boy gazed up at his mother with an inquisitive expression.
Posing side by side, Vanna and Nikko were captured in the snap below the newborn portrait. Here Nikko is all grown up, standing tall next to the TV star and trying to mimic her endearing grin.
My beautiful kid was born thirty years ago today. Birthday wishes to @nikkoshow! The incredible young man you have become into makes me very proud. She wrote, “My love for you knows no bounds!” as the caption.
Fans of Vanna were quick to gush over Nikko, leaving nothing but kind comments in the post’s comment area. They were also amazed by how like he looked to his adoring mother.
An admirer was enchanted and wished a happy 30th birthday to the father’s incredibly attractive and amazing son. “Wow, he’s 30?!?” exclaimed another who couldn’t believe Nikko had matured so much. You look stunning, lady. I will miss you, Vanna.
“He has mom’s good looks,” someone else said. Someone else who thought highly of him said, “He is as handsome as you are beautiful!” A beautiful grin!
Nikko has also built his own route in life, just like Gigi does with her career. Now a real estate agent, investor, and Spark’s LA ambassador—that’s the 30-year-old’s LinkedIn page.
He brings extensive knowledge of architecture and interior design to the table, along with his enthusiasm for houses. A section of Nikko’s extensive LinkedIn biography reads, “His business approach is based on transparency and honesty, and he aims to provide valuable market insights.”
His impressive resume lists many achievements, one of which being his nine-month tenure at the highly regarded The Agency RE. Not only did Nikko accomplish that and much more in his professional life, but his biography also included information about his personal life, including his passions and hobbies.
The love of cooking that Nikko inherited from his father, George, the proprietor of the Santo Pietro’s and Sushi Ko restaurants in Los Angeles, is evident in his love of cooking. Growing up, Nikko helped out with the family vineyard and garden. Now he’s a real estate agent.
According to Nikko’s bio, he enjoys socializing and hosting poetry nights, where he fosters relationships and brings people together. Also mentioned were his interests in reading, playing the piano, and getting enough sleep.
Nikko loves to relax with friends and enjoy their company when he’s not working or pursuing his hobbies. He sometimes even brings a cocktail to enhance the experience.
The children of Vanna and George Santo Pietro are Nikko and Gigi. They tied the knot in Aspen, Colorado, on December 31, 1990. But in 2002, after eleven years of marriage, Vanna petitioned for a divorce from George, claiming that they could not reconcile their differences. It seems like the kids keep the parents in touch even though they’re no longer together.
The love and joy that Vanna had for her children only rose as she celebrated each of their achievements. Social media tributes posted by Vanna pay homage to Gigi’s artistic journey and Nikko’s growing real estate profession, showcasing their accomplishments and the lasting link she shares with them.
