Vanna White showed off her 30-year-old son Nikko San Pietro in a recent Instagram video of them cooking together. Nikko towered above her, wearing a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt, and a maroon baseball hat worn back to front. Vanna also kept it casual with a lemon shirt and pants.
Mother and son were making Uncle Roy’s Chicken to celebrate Fabulous Food Week, and Nikko could be seen peeling ginger with a spoon, chopping onions, and doing the general cooking while Vanna did most of the talking and cleaned up after him.

Another cheeky user asked if Nikko was on the menu too, while complimenting their kitchen collab. Some asked for more videos of Nikko going forward, noting that their relationship is admirable. “Cute in the kitchen together! Enjoy your meal!!” another comment read.
Meet Nikko San Pietro
Nikko is one of Vanna’s two children— the other being Giovanna Gigi, with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro. Nikko graduated summa cum laude from Oregon State University with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural sciences, which he claims was inspired by having home-grown food as a kid.
He put his degree to good use across related fields and owns a sourdough bakery named Nikko’s Bread in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Nikko is multi-talented outside of his discipline, with an interest in cooking, playing the piano and making visual art like splatter and canvas paintings, which he sells on his website. He is also well-traveled, having documented his 2019 tour across Europe to France, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
