Vanna White’s Cooking Video With Hunky Son Nikko Has Fans Saying ‘Yum’
Vanna White recently shared a cooking video with her fans, though they seemed more focused on her special guest than on the food that they were making.
The Wheel of Fortune star invited her son, Nikko Santo Pietro, to help her make a beloved family recipe, but fans had more questions about the 30-year-old than about the food.

In a video posted on Instagram on Dec. 2, White and Santo Pietro shared how to make “Uncle Roy’s Chicken,” a chicken recipe that includes ginger and onions. The Los Angeles-based real estate agent took the lead in the process after White declared that she is “not a good cook.”
Santo Pietro showed White’s fans several kitchen tricks in the video, including how to peel ginger with a spoon, hacks to avoid crying while chopping onions, and how to deglaze a pan with wine.
While some commenters chimed in to note that they were going to try to make the recipe at home, or to tell the mother and son duo that they “learned something today,” most of the comments went in another direction.
“Is son on the menu too 👀 errr I mean great video!!” wrote one fan, while another said, “👏Nikko you can come cook for me anytime! And I love salt 🧂 sorry 😢 momma Vanna!”
“Vanna where have you been hiding Nikko ? He’s GORGEOUS 😍,” said one commenter, while another teased White, writing, “Yum! The only thing that would have made this video better is if Vanna was wearing a gown. 😂.”
One fan wasn’t personally interested in a love connection with Santo Pietro, but instead asked about his dating status for their daughter. “If your son is free my daughter is also. Lol they can cook together. 😊,” they wrote, prompting other fans to reply, “can you imagine your son’s new mother-in-law is Vanna White?!!! 😂.”
