Meet Wheel of Fortune host Vanna White’s lookalike daughter Gigi Santo Pietro, who just gave her mum her first tattoo: the young artist left photography for ink artistry and is a big Snoop Dogg fan
Her mum may be a pop culture icon, but Santo Pietro prefers to stay out of the limelight and let her tattoo art take centre stage – though she’s not above asking to meet her favourite celebrities
Long-time Wheel of Fortune co-host Vanna White made plenty of headlines last month.
First, she revealed that she works on the show for just over a month each year. “We film about 34 days a year,” White said about her work schedule in an appearance on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show. She clarified that on each of those days, she would film six shows, requiring six costume changes. When Duran pointed out that White’s schedule meant she had 331 days off a year, the game show host expressed surprise. “Yeah, I guess so,” she said. “I never thought of it that way.”
Then, White took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes video of her getting her first tattoo – from her daughter. In the clip, White is seen discussing the tattoo with 27-year-old Gigi Santo Pietro before going under the needle. After settling on a pink outline of a heart, Gigi asks, “Are you nervous? I can feel you shaking,” before White jokes, “I don’t [know] if I can watch. I might pass out.”
But what do we know about Gigi Santo Pietro, Vanna White’s youngest child?
What’s her background?
Gigi was educated at The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks. After finishing high school, she went on to study photography at New York University.
