For over 30 years, Vanna White has charmed audiences as the face of “Wheel of Fortune.” Recently, the spotlight shifted to her daughter, Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro, who turned 27. A heartfelt birthday tribute from Vanna on Instagram showcased Gigi’s beauty and sparked comparisons to her mother. Fans admired how Gigi resembles Vanna, but with darker features from her father, George Santo Pietro.
Vanna praised her daughter’s intelligence, kindness, and artistic talent, revealing Gigi’s career as a tattoo artist. Gigi, a New York University art graduate, found a deep connection in tattooing, as it allows her art to become a permanent part of someone’s life. Vanna even hinted at possibly getting a matching tattoo with Gigi, symbolizing their close bond.
In addition to Gigi, Vanna also celebrated her son Nikko’s 30th birthday in June. Nikko, now a real estate agent and investor, shares a close relationship with his mom. He inherited his father’s love for cooking and enjoys hosting poetry nights and playing piano.
Although Vanna and George divorced in 2002, they continue to celebrate their children’s milestones and successes, showcasing the deep family bond they still share.
