Vanna White’s Heartthrob Son Reveals Relationship Status After Viral ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Video
Look out, Hollywood. There’s a new dreamboat in town. Nikko Santo Pietro, son of Wheel of Fortune legend Vanna White, became the internet’s new boyfriend after a cooking video with his mom in honor of the game show’s Fabulous Food Week went viral.
Now, the question on everyone’s minds is: What’s his relationship status? Is he single? Well, Pietro and White are spilling the tea in a new interview.
Sorry, ladies. He’s off the market. “I have an amazing girlfriend,” the 30-year-old told Entertainment Tonight. “She’s an absolute sweetheart. She’s a singer-songwriter. We’ve been together for a year. She wrote a song about me. It’s really sweet that she did that.”

He’s currently dating Easae, who wrote the song “Karaoke” about him. He quipped that his love “obviously detected the heartthrob thing before America did.”
Pietro, who is also a real estate agent, has seen the love from fans in his comments section. “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, so it feels natural and good,” he said about the reaction.
Naturally, it’s taking some time to adjust to his newfound fame and heartthrob status. “People see me as this heartthrob and they’re thirsty for me and all this stuff,” he said. “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.”
His mom also reacted to the fanfare around her son. She’s all for it! “It touches my heart so much,” she gushed. “He’s such a good kid. It makes me feel good. Growing up, he didn’t get everything he asked for. I always taught both of my children that you have to work hard for things.”
White shares Pietro with her ex-husband, George Santo Pietro. They also share a daughter, Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro.
