Vanna White, the beloved letter-turner from Wheel of Fortune, recently shared a glimpse into her personal life, focusing on her two adult children during an interview with Parade, published on September 20.
In the candid chat, White revealed that her kids, Nikko, 30, and Gigi, 27, moved back to Los Angeles during the COVID pandemic, allowing them to spend more time together as a family. She also mentioned her longtime partner, John Donaldson, reinforcing the tight-knit vibe.
White beamed with pride while discussing her children’s careers. “My son is excelling in real estate,” she said. As for her daughter, Gigi, Vanna revealed, “She graduated with an art degree from NYU and is now a talented tattoo artist.” White praised Gigi’s talent, saying, “She loves creating lasting art on people’s bodies, and it’s beautiful.”
This brought up a fun question about whether Vanna has any tattoos. She responded, “Not yet, but I’m considering a small heart on my wrist as a tribute to her art.”
Vanna shares her children with ex-husband George Santo Pietro, with whom she was married from 1990 to 2002. When asked about her long-term relationship with Donaldson, she reflected, “After 12 years together, we feel like we’re already married. There’s no pressure to tie the knot since we are both comfortable in our bond.” She added, “I know he’s The One, and he feels the same.”
