Vanna’s son graduated from Oregon State University and also attended The University of Arizona.

In his Instagram profile, Nikko mentioned he “studied agriculture” and is now working “in the produce industry.”

The Wheel of Fortune cohost described him as “the best son a mother could ever have!”

The TV star gushed: “I love you, Nikko!” along with a red heart emoji.

In an Instagram Story, Nikko re-shared his mother’s photo and captioned his post: “Love you, Mom.”

Maggie Sajak, 27, the daughter of Vanna’s cohost Pat Sajak, also wished him a “Happy Birthday” in the comments section.

Fans also jumped to the comments and praised just how “good-looking” Nikko is in Vanna’s snapshot.

One said: “What a handsome guy! Vanna, I forgot to tell you!

“I ran into Nico! What a fabulous human! Such wonderful energy and so lovely!”

Another added: “Good looking kid but, I guess it’s in the genes.”

A third fan mentioned: “Aww! Happy Birthday to your handsome and wonderful son!”

“Handsome… your son just looks like you, Vanna,” one commented.

Another chimed in: “So handsome and he has his mom’s winning smile!

VANNA’S JOYS

Vanna has two children: daughter Giovana (Gigi) and her son Nikko.

She shares both kids with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro.

Both young adults have made appearances on the famous game show and have visited their mother on set while she was filming an episode.

HURRY UP?

The TV personality’s birthday shoutout comes after Pat, 75, made a controversial comment towards Vanna during an installment.

While the hostess was lighting up the correct letters on the board, Pat seemed to be upset over her slowness.

With a bit of humor in his voice, he asked her: “Could ya move a little faster?”

She quickly finished up and looked back over at him with a slight smile.

The other players in the ABC game awkwardly laughed too.

THE BACKLASH

Fans called out Pat’s “rude” behavior in their Twitter rants.

One upset viewer tweeted: “I’ve never heard Pat tell Vanna to ‘’move a little faster’ during the show!”

Another angry person said: “Pat tells Vanna ‘move a little faster’ during speed-up. Oh, Pat!”

A third person wrote: “Pat Sajak just told Vanna White to hurry up.

“B***h… You don’t get snotty with a national treasure.”
