When Vanna White posted a rare photo of her daughter, Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro, fans couldn’t get over their resemblance.
“Happy 27th to my amazing daughter,” White, 67, captioned an Instagram post. “You are so beautiful, smart, kind and a talented artist. I love you, Gigi!”
White shared side-by-side images of Gigi as a baby and now as an adult. Though Gigi is wearing sunglasses, there’s no denying White’s genes are strong.
“Looks a lot like you Vanna, only darker features,” one person wrote.
Added another, “Oh wow. She’s a young Vanna.”

The longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host shares Gigi and son Nikko, 30, with ex-husband George Santo Pietro. White and Santo Pietro, a film producer known for working “The X-Files,” were married from 1990 to 2002.
In March of this year, White posted a video on Instagram, showing Gigi giving her mom her first tattoo.
“I finally got my first tattoo, given to me by my talented daughter @gigisantopietro!! I will think of her everytime I look at it,” she captioned the video.
White explained that she got a little heart tattooed on the inside of her wrist, so she could look at it every day and think of her daughter.
White got candid about Gigi pursuing a career as a tattoo artist after graduating from New York University with an art degree.
“I said, ‘Gigi, why tattooing?’ She goes, ‘Mom, my art is on someone’s body for the rest of their lives,’” White recalled while chatting with People in 2023. “I was like, ‘That’s pretty cool.’ You have to be so good and confident. You can’t mess up.”
“I’m so proud of her,” White added.
Creativity runs in the family. White said that Gigi’s brother, Nikko, also likes to create.
“Nikko does artwork for fun,” she said. “That’s his escape from the real world, his real life is in real estate, which is good for him. So he’s loving that as well.”
