Have you seen the son of Wheel of Fortune star Vanna White? You want to, trust us.
The incomparable Vanna White has entertained generations of Wheel of Fortune viewers.
While fans know that she’s a television icon and has turned her fame into a true fortune, most did not know about her son.
Vanna’s boy is 30 years old. He’s also alarmingly hot.

On Monday, December 2, Vanna White shared a video on Instagram. It was, ostensibly, a cooking video.
“In celebration of Fabulous Food Week, Nikko and I are whipping up Uncle Roy’s Chicken,” she wrote in the caption. “YUM!”
However, the part of the video that whet viewers’ appetites most wasn’t the food — but Vanna’s 30-year-old son, Nikko Santo Pietro. And it’s not difficult to see why.
The 67-year-old Wheel of Fortune star and television icon stood in her kitchen alongside her 30-year-old son.
“I’m not a good cook,” she confessed during the video, while her son peeled a ginger root and chopped onions in a very tight shirt.
“But fortunately my son, Nikko, is,” Vanna continued. “So he’s going to make one of my favorite dishes. We call it Uncle Roy’s Chicken.”

“Is son on the menu too errr I mean great video!!” joked another commenter. Remember, just because your comment is relatable doesn’t mean that it’s appropriate to write under a guy’s mom’s post.
Another brought Vanna White’s claim to fame into it, quipping: “My next three letters are H-O-T!”

That’s because they have high odds of winning the genetic lottery, and then grow up with the advantages of a wealthy upbringing.
However, as you can see, some of these comments were more tasteful and sensitive than others.
Telling someone that her 30-year-old son is very handsome is totally appropriate. The “Who’s hotter … Vanna or Nikko?” comment seems like it belongs somewhere other than Vanna’s own Instagram comments. C’mon, folks. A little decorum, please.

Vanna and her ex, George Pietro, also share 27-year-old daughter Gigi.
As for Nikko, he’s actually a real estate agent at The Agency, which is Mauricio Umansky’s company. It’s a small world, it seems.
He’s also a major hottie. His mom was already a household name when he was born in the ’90s, so he’s probably aware of just how many eyes are on him after their little mother-son cooking show.
