When Vanna White posted an Instagram video with her son, Nikko Santo Pietro, she had no idea how hungry people would be. But it wasn’t for her Uncle Roy’s chicken. The mother and son thought spending time in the kitchen together would be fun, but it turned Nikko into an overnight sensation. The handsome 30-year-old and his mom amassed 1 million views for their viral Instagram post. While Vanna White is no stranger to the spotlight, the sudden fame came as a bit of a shock to her son. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) Vanna White’s Son Nikko Has Good Looks, And He’s A Great Cook Vanna and Nikko sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonight to discuss his overnight launch to thirst trap status. They had no idea what was about to happen. “We did that just for fun and look what happened,” she laughed. Nikko said, “She turned to me and said, ‘Is this what viral means?'”  Of course, Vanna White’s son thought the attention was “flattering,” but some of the comments on his mom’s post were “interesting” to say it politely. “I had an outpour from her fans just really being kind and saying all kinds of interesting stuff in the comments,” Nikko said. But, some of the comments were a bit unhinged. Like this, “My oven is already preheated.” and “Is son on the menu, too.”  Vanna White’s son said he enjoys his real estate career but also loves the entertainment world. He told Entertainment Tonight he wants to remain active in his community, doing work for charity and “making an impact.” “People see me as this heartthrob. They’re thirsty for me,” Nikko joked. “I love it all, but at the same time it’s really good to remember the meaningful things in life.”  This story’s featured image is by Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images.
