Vanna Whiteand her son Nikko are taking a bite out of the Big Apple!
TheWheel of Fortunehost, 68, and her son stepped out together in New York City on Feb. 24, nearly three months after Nikko caughtthe attention of the internet with his impressive physique.
The pair bundled up in the cold weather and smiled for cameras while visiting the Z100 radio offices. For the outing, Nikko, 27, sported a grey overcoat, black button shirt and jeans while his mother wore a black puffer, matching pants and blue top.
The mother-son duo also stopped for photographers the following day during their visit to New York.

The visit to New York comes after Nikko — who Vanna shares with ex-husband George Santo Pietro — went viral afterjoining his mother to cook a family recipein celebration ofWheel of Fortune’s Fabulous Food Week in December.
The comment section of the post was filled with fans lusting after Nikko. One person wrote, “But is he single? Asking for myself…”
Another attempted to set Nikko up with her own daughter, writing, “If your son is free my daughter is also. Lol they can cook together. 😊 "
Much to fans’ dismay, Nikko revealed later that month that he is a taken man. “I have an amazing girlfriend, she’s an absolute sweetheart, she’s a singer-songwriter, and we’ve been together for a year,” Nikko toldEntertainment Tonight.
Nikko added the outpouring of attention is “flattering,” but he is staying focused on what matters most to him.
“People see me as this heartthrob and they’re thirsty for me and all this stuff,” he explained. “I love it all, but at the same time, it’s really good to remember the meaningful things in life and just kind of dial it back, doing a lot of charity work, working hard every day.”

“He’s been on the show many times but maybe now you can come on and do a little more,” she added.
“I mean, I don’t know how well I’d play the game but I’d love to participate at some level,” Nikko chimed in. “I don’t know what that would look like but yeah, I could see that happening.”
