Fans of the Wheel of Fortune star declared her son Nikko Santo Pietro the internet’s new heartthrob after she featured the 30-year-old in a cooking video on her Instagram Dec. 2, and he called the attention “flattering.”
“Obviously I had an outpour from her fans just really being kind and saying all kinds of interesting stuff in the comments,” Nikko told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published Dec. 5. “I’ve always loved being in front of the camera, and I work really hard on my social media that’s a big part of what I do, so it feels natural and good.”
At the same time, the real estate agent—who Vanna, 67, shares with ex George Santo Pietro—also wants to remain cognizant of what’s really important in life amid all of the chatter about his good looks.
“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.”
