Vanna White's kids are growing up. The Wheel of Fortune cohost wished her daughter, Gigi Santo Pietro, a happy birthday on Instagram on Monday, July 1, 2024. Gigi, who works as a tattoo artist, just turned 27, and to celebrate, her mom shared a collage featuring a photo of Gigi as a baby and one of her as an adult. "Happy 27th to my amazing daughter @gigisantopietro! You are so beautiful, smart, kind and a talented artist! I love you Gigi! ❤️," Vanna, 67, captioned the photo on Instagram.
Fans quickly noticed that Gigi looks a lot like Vanna.
"Looks a lot like you Vanna only darker features!" one person commented on the photo.
"Wow…she looks just like you Vanna," another person pointed out, while another Instagram user called Gigi "a young Vanna."
Vanna's son also recently celebrated his birthday. On June 10, Vanna shared a similar collage for Nikko, featuring both a baby photo and a photo of Nikko as an adult.

"30 years ago today, my baby boy was born. Happy birthday @nikkoshow! I am so proud of the amazing young man you have become! I love you with all my heart!" the proud mom captioned her post.
Vanna shares Gigi and Nikko with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro, to whom she was married from 1990 to 2002.
Vanna keeps her kids' lives fairly private, though she has taken to Instagram to celebrate their birthdays and other special occasions and achievements. In May, she shared that Nikko is now working as a real estate agent.
"Congratulations to my son for closing his first #homesale since becoming a real estate agent! So proud of you," she wrote at the time.
Vanna previously spoke to People about her daughter Gigi's decision to become a tattoo artist. She admitted that at first, she was skeptical and said, "'Gigi, why tattooing?'"
Her daughter's explanation made a lot of sense to her though. "She goes, 'Mom, my art is on someone's body for the rest of their lives.' I was like, 'That's pretty cool,'" Vanna explained to People in 2023.
Vanna is clearly impressed by her daughter's talent, adding, "You have to be so good and confident. You can't mess up. She absolutely loves it. I'm so, so proud of her."
Vanna also told the outlet that both of her kids are artistic, and she's even open to getting a tattoo from her daughter.
"I want to have matching hearts where she'll do a little heart on me and she'll do one on herself," she told People at the time.
