Vanna White’s son Nikko Santo Pietro made a rare public appearance. Since then, the star’s son has received quite a few online fans, gushing about his appearance. He has since talked about the comments he’s recently been receiving.
From Los Angeles Realtor To ‘America’s Boyfriend’
White has served as a co-host on Wheel of Fortune since 1982. During this time, she has kept her personal life relatively private.
In a recent social media post, however, Vanna shared a video with her son Nikko on Instagram. Together, they worked together on a recipe dubbed “Uncle Roy’s Chicken.”
This was done in honor of the season’s “Fabulous Food Week.” Vanna even joked her son did the “cooking” while she did the “cleanup.”
As noted by The Express U.S., when the video was released, many fans began to gush over Nikko’s appearance. One user even asked, “Vanna, where have you been hiding Nikko? He’s GORGEOUS.”
Since his appearance, Nikko recently talked about the comments during an appearance with Entertainment Tonight. During the appearance, where he was dubbed “America’s boyfriend,” he admitted the whole situation was certainly “flattering.”
“I’ve always loved being in front of the camera, and I work really hard on my social media. That’s a big part of what I do.”
Vanna White Pointed Out Nikko Has Appeared On Wheel Of Fortune Before
Ultimately, Nikko appreciated the comments, but did not want it to go to his head. As he shared, “People see me as this heartthrob and they’re thirsty for me and all this stuff. 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, who currently works as a realtor in Los Angeles, broke quite a few hearts with some news he shared on the show. As he shared,“I have an amazing girlfriend.”
Nikko then described his girlfriend as “an absolute sweetheart. We’ve been together for a year. Her name’s Easae.” Nikko also revealed Easae works as a singer and songwriter.
Vanna was with her son during the appearance. When asked if Nikko would ever appear on Wheel of Fortune, she pointed out that he already has. After all, Vanna hosted the game show while she was pregnant with him.

Nikko also appeared as a baby and as a little boy. As a flashback revealed, he once appeared in costume for a Halloween-themed episode as a little kid.
Vanna then asked her son, “But maybe now you can come on and do a little more?” Nikko responded, “Sure, I would love that.”
