Vanna White has once again captivated her fans—not on the “Wheel of Fortune” stage this time, but from the comfort of her own kitchen.
In a charming Instagram video shared on Monday, December 2, the beloved TV icon introduced viewers to her 30-year-old son, “Nikko Santo Pietro”, as they cooked up a family favorite dish.
Standing in her cozy kitchen, White confessed, “I’m not a good cook, but fortunately, my son, Nikko, is.” From there, Nikko took charge of making “Uncle Roy’s Chicken,” a recipe clearly cherished by the family.
Dressed casually in a fitted white T-shirt and jeans, Nikko showed off not just his culinary skills but also his humor, peeling ginger with a spoon and cutting onions while wearing sunglasses—proving that cooking with a little flair runs in the family.
White, ever the supportive sous-chef, chipped in with small tasks, quipping, “I’ll leave it to you. I do the cleanup,” flashing her signature smile. When the dish was done, Nikko taste-tested it with a dramatic flourish, jokingly labeling it “terrible” before exiting the frame. White sampled the dish herself, proclaiming, “We did it!” before pulling her son in for a warm hug.
While the dish itself seemed delicious, fans had their attention elsewhere: Nikko. The comments section quickly filled with swooning reactions to his good looks. “Vanna, where have you been hiding Nikko? He’s GORGEOUS 😍,” one fan wrote. Another cheekily added, “Is son on the menu too 👀 errr I mean great video!!”
Beyond his cooking skills, Nikko has an impressive résumé. A real estate agent by profession, his LinkedIn profile reveals a passion for cooking influenced by time spent in his family’s Los Angeles restaurants—a talent clearly on display in the video.
Fans couldn’t get enough of the heartwarming mother-son dynamic, calling for more kitchen collaborations. “I love the chemistry between mother and son,” one admirer gushed, while another requested, “More videos of Vanna and Nikko in the kitchen, please!”
