‘Apple and Tree’: Vanna White Wishes Look-Alike Daughter Gigi Santo Pietrox a Happy 26th Birthday

Vanna White’s daughter, Gigi Santo Pietro, recently celebrated a milestone as she turned 26. The doting mom paid tribute to Gigi through an Instagram post, sharing photos of them.

Vanna White has received several blessings, but none compare to the joy of being a mother. While she is known for her stint on “Wheel of Fortune” since the ’80s, she is simply a “mom” at home.

Recently, Vanna celebrated her daughter, Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro, as the young adult celebrated her 26th birthday.

Alongside a four-panel photo collage with her daughter, Vanna wrote, “Happy 26th Birthday to my beautiful, sweet, and talented daughter!” Fans immediately extended their greetings through the comments section. Some couldn’t help but point out the strong resemblance between mother and daughter.

“Apple and tree!” one social media user said, while another emphasized their beautiful eyes. Gigi may have darker hair than her mom’s, but there’s no denying she inherited Vanna’s beauty.

Gigi, born on July 1, 1997, is Vanna’s second and youngest child with her husband, Santo Pietro. Vanna was a hands-on mother during Gigi’s younger years and involved herself in school activities with other parents.

As she grew up, Gigi received her high school education at the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California. She later studied photography at New York University.

Gigi Santo Pietro has since built her digital resume, boasting of experiences as an assistant photographer for Redbook magazine’s photoshoot, photographing models, and covering several red-carpet events.

Although she leads a private life, Gigi uses her social media to share her work at Lincoln Tattoo Company in Los Angeles, where she is a tattoo artist. She doesn’t usually share photos of herself online, so updates about her life are anticipated through Vanna’s posts.

Vanna often keeps her kids out of the spotlight, but she sometimes shares glimpses of their lives. In April 2020, Vanna shared her bonding time with Gigi as they went to have their nails done. She also posted about her in 2022 for Gigi’s birthday and National Son and Daughter Day.

Besides Gigi, Vanna is also a mom to Nicholas “Nikko” Santo Pietro. Born on June 10, 1994, Nikko is Vanna’s first child with her husband. He received his college education at the University of Arizona and Oregon State University, where he graduated summa cum laude in agricultural sciences.

Compared to his sister, Nikko Santo Pietro is more open about his life on social media. He shared a life update this year, revealing exciting things about his future.
