Vanna White has raised two successful kids.

The Wheel of Fortune hostess — who celebrates her 69th birthday on Feb. 18, 2026 — shares son Nicholas "Nikko," born in 1994, and daughter Giovanna "Gigi," born in 1997, with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro.

White has shared many memorable moments with her two children online, from a viral cooking video that gave Nikko "internet boyfriend" status to her first tattoo inked by her own daughter.

"Giovanna and Nicholas have brought so much love and joy into my life — more than I could have ever imagined," she said in a 2007 interview with Family Circle.
