Vanna White Reacts to Son Nikko's Viral 'Thirst Trap' Cooking Video

The 'Wheel of Fortune' star shared her confusion over the internet's reaction to her son's appearance in a family recipe video.

Vanna White's son, Nikko Santo Pietro, 30, gained viral attention after appearing in a December 2024 Instagram cooking video wearing a form-fitting shirt.
The internet dubbed Nikko a 'thirst trap,' a term White admitted she didn’t understand during a conversation with Ryan Seacrest on 'Wheel of Fortune.'
Seacrest humorously explained that Nikko's tight shirt and good looks were the focus of online comments rather than the recipe they were cooking.
White and Nikko followed up with another cooking video featuring a parsnip soup recipe, continuing their culinary series on Instagram.
Nikko, who works in real estate and is active on social media, called the attention flattering but emphasized his focus on meaningful work and charity efforts.
