The 67-year-old letter turner shared a reel on Monday of her and her 30-year-old son preparing a dish affectionately called ‘Uncle Roy’s Chicken’.
One fan even playfully offered, “If your son is free, so is my daughter. Lol, they can cook together.”
And another simply said, ‘Vanna, your son is so handsome!’, leaving no doubt as to what everyone was really hoping to solve.
Another said: ‘My oven is already preheated.’
Vanna shares Nikko and his younger sister Gigi, 27, with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro, a former restaurant owner.
The young man is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, as stated on his LinkedIn profile, and he calls cooking one of his main hobbies.
He credits this passion to his father, a restaurateur who owned two popular restaurants in California.
In addition to his work in the real estate sector, Nikko describes himself as ‘a social enthusiast’ who enjoys organizing poetry evenings and bringing people together.
He also enjoys “playing the piano, reading, and prioritizing a good night’s sleep.”

This isn’t the first time Vanna has given fans a glimpse into her family life on social media.
Earlier this year, she also shared her pride for her children during an interview with Parade.
‘I like to brag! My son is doing very well as a real estate agent. He is committed and eager to close deals,” White said.
She also spoke highly of her daughter, who graduated from New York University with an art degree and has become a talented tattoo artist.
“She loves putting her art on someone’s body for life, and the work she does is beautiful,” White added.
