Vanna White posted a rare photo of her daughter, Giovanna “Gigi” Santo Pietro, and fans can’t get over their resemblance.
“Happy 27th to my amazing daughter,” White, 67, captioned an Instagram post on July 1. “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.
Last year, 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. “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.
White noted that she's open to the idea of getting inked.
"I want to have matching hearts where she’ll do a little heart on me and she’ll do one on herself. I feel like I need to do that because it’s her and it would be her on me,” White told People.
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.”
