This son of a beloved game show hostess was recently dubbed the internet’s new heartthrob thanks to a viral cooking video.

And on Monday, he was pictured accompanying his famous 68-year-old mom to the Z100 radio offices in New York City.

The 30-year-old real estate agent — whose father is a film producer — looked dashing in a grey coat paired with a black ʙuттon-up shirt and dark jeans. 

The Los Angeles based professional completed his look with a pair of black suede loafers.

His outing comes after he became an internet sensation when his famous mom shared a video of him cooking in December.

‘I love it all, but at the same time, it’s really good to remember the meaningful things in life and just kind of dial it back, doing a lot of charity work, working hard every day.’

Nikko also clarified his relationship status, sharing that he is dating singer Easae.

‘I have an amazing girlfriend,’ he stated. ‘She’s an absolute sweetheart. She’s a singer-songwriter. We’ve been together for a year. She wrote a song about me. It’s really sweet that she did that,’ he added, referring to her song Karaoke.

He also added that she ‘obviously detected the heartthrob thing before America did.’ 

Vanna — who also shares daughter Giovanna ‘Gigi’ Santo Pietro, 27 age, with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro, 78 — shared her joy at her son’s newfound fame.

‘I absolutely love that. It touches my heart so much. He’s such a good kid. It makes me feel good. Growing up, he didn’t get everything he asked for. I always taught both of my children that you have to work hard for things.’

Fans of Wheel of Fortune were in for a delightful surprise when Vanna showcased her son Nikko in an Instagram cooking video.

The duo laughed it up

The letter-turner shared a reel of her and her son whipping up a dish affectionately known as ‘Uncle Roy’s Chicken’. 

While the recipe was certainly enticing, it was Nikko’s striking good looks that truly captured the attention of viewers. 

As he confidently took charge in the kitchen, he humorously remarked, ‘Vanna’s not a good cook,’ instantly winning over fans with his cheeky charm.

But the real feast was on Instagram, as fans couldn’t stop fawning over Nikko’s game-show worthy looks.  

One cheeky follower joked, ‘Is son on the menu too? Err, I mean great video!!’ while another asked, ‘Vanna, where have you been hiding Nikko? He’s GORGEOUS.’

One fan even playfully offered, ‘If your son is free, my daughter is too. Lol, they can cook together.’

And another simply stated, ‘Vanna, your son is so handsome!’—leaving no doubt about what everyone was really hoping to solve.

Yet another chiimed in, ‘My oven is already preheated.’

Vanna shares Nikko and his younger sister Gigi with her ex-husband George, a former restaurant owner and film producer. 

The young man is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, as noted on his LinkedIn profile, and he lists cooking as one of his key hobbies.

He credits this pᴀssion to his father, who owned two popular California restaurants.

In addition to his work in real estate, Nikko describes himself as ‘a social enthusiast’ who enjoys hosting poetry nights and bringing people together. 

He also enjoys ‘playing the piano, reading, and prioritizing restful sleep.’ 

This isn’t the first time Vanna has given fans a peek into her family life on social media.

Earlier this year, she also shared her pride for her children during an interview with Parade.

‘I love bragging! My son is doing great as a real estate agent. He’s dedicated and eager to close deals,’ White said. 

She also spoke highly of her daughter, who graduated from New York University with an art degree and has become a talented tattoo artist.

‘She loves putting her art on someone’s body for life, and the work she does is beautiful,’ White added.

Vanna has been a co-host on Wheel of Fortune since 1982. In September 2023, she extended her contract as host through the 2025–26 season.
