Gigi’s birthday came amid news about Vanna’s tenure on Wheel Of Fortune likely coming to an end as she can hardly relate with the new host, Ryan Seacrest. Regardless of where her career will take her, the 67-year-old takes celebrating her children seriously, with a throwback photo of Gigi and her older brother, Nikko Santo Petto, also appearing on her feed.

Like her brother, Gigi is hardly in the spotlight; but she runs an Instagram page that displays her tattoo work. She loves the challenge that tattoo artistry brings, which involves working with the pressure of people trusting you to not make a mistake. Vanna is a proud mom to her two kids, and with the noise and speculation surrounding her hosting career, she might just quit to spend more quality time with her children.
