Vanna White has sent the internet into a frenzy after sharing a rare video of her son now all grown up — and looking very handsome.
The Wheel of Fortune co-host is best known for her star role in the long-running game show, and she keeps her personal life out of the spotlight, which made for many surprised reactions from her fans as she shared the sweet video featuring her son Nikko, who is 30. She had fans asking: "Vanna where have you been hiding Nikko? He's GORGEOUS.
The TV personality shares Nikko, as well as daughter Gigi, 27, with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro, to whom she was married from 1990 to 2002.
The video in question that left fans clamoring for more information on Nikko saw the two posing in their kitchen, as Vanna explained that while she is not a good cook, "fortunately," her son is. In the video, he is seen wearing a fitted white t-shirt and skinny jeans, plus a faded red baseball cap worn backwards.
She then explained that Nikko would be teaching viewers how to make their family's "Uncle Roy's Chicken," and he proceeded to sort and prep all of the ingredients. The result was a gingery chicken cooked in white wine in the oven under a bed of roasted onions.
"In celebration of Fabulous Food Week, Nikko and I are whipping up Uncle Roy’s Chicken. YUM!" Vanna wrote in her caption, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it — and Nikko.
"Is son on the menu too? I mean, great video!!" one cheekily wrote, as others followed suit with: "If your son is free my daughter is also. They can cook together!" and: "This is so great!! I'm going to try this!! Vanna, your son is adorable and handsome!!! You look beautiful as always!!" as well as: "Vanna, your son is so handsome! I love the connection you have together."
