Vanna White Posts Sweet Birthday Tribute to Son Nikko

Vanna White shared an adorable throwback photo of her son, Nikko, for his 32nd birthday, and fans are swooning over it. The Wheel of Fortune host posted one throwback picture with her and a current photo of her son.

“Happy 32nd Birthday to the best son in the whole wide world! I love you so much! @nikkosantopietro.re,” she captioned the Instagram post on June 11.

The first photo was of a young White, who was holding a baby Nikko in her arms. He held her hand and looked at the camera as she smiled down at her son. They both twinned in all-white outfits.

The second picture was of current-day Nikko. He stood outside and pointed to the camera with a smile on his face as people lounged in the pool behind him. He wore tan swimsuits, a mesh shirt, and sunglasses.

Nikko Santo Pietro is White’s only son. She shares him with her ex-husband, real estate developer George Santo Pietro. They married in December 1990 and split in 2002. The exes also share a daughter — Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro, who was born in 1997. Both White and Santo Pietro have married other people since then.

Fans left Nikko birthday wishes in the comments. “Happy birthday, Nikko! You have a great mom,” one follower said.

“What a lucky man!” another commented.

“So handsome and precious. Happy birthday!” a third added.

This post comes just weeks after Nikko shared a video on his Instagram, where White popped a pimple on his back. “I hate needles, and this is my mom popping something on my back,” he said in the May 28 video.

The video then moved to Pietro sitting at a table with his shirt half up his chest. He dipped a cloth in rubbing alcohol and handed it to White. She then took a needle and pierced the acne with it. He told a follower that he wasn’t sure what it was, but it “had a white head.”

After the hostess poked it four times, Nikko said “Ow!” and cursed. However, fans complained that they couldn’t see the pimple being popped.

White also shared recent photos of her daughter when she partied with Nikko and Gigi at Coachella in April. She handed out rainbow-colored Wheel of Fortune fans to those of her who asked for the “gift” she teased.
