'Wheel of Fortune' star Vanna White gets 1st tattoo done by daughter Gigi
Vanna White can cross getting a tattoo off her bucket list.
The 68-year-old "Wheel of Fortune" co-host posted an Instagram video on Monday, in which she can be seen visiting her daughter, tattoo artist Giovanna "Gigi" Santo Pietro, 28, to get her very first tattoo.
"She's not making me do this. It's my choice," White can be heard saying in the video before heading into Lincoln Tattoo Company in Venice, California, with her daughter.
In the behind-the-scenes video, White told Gigi, who she shares with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro, that she decided to get a tattoo of a heart on her wrist so that she "can look at it every day" and remember her daughter, since she would have been the one to do the tattoo.
While picking the shape and color of the heart, White appeared nervous, telling her daughter, "I'm shaking," before ultimately deciding on a shade of pink for the outline, which she described as having "a little salmon in it too."
Although White initially said, "I don't if I can watch. I might pass out," when her daughter got started on the tattoo, she mouthed "I don't feel anything" to the camera, and told her daughter she felt "nothing" when asked what she would compare the pain to. "I've been wanting to do this for a really long time. I really have. I'm so happy," she added.
"It looks perfect. It's just what I wanted," she told Gigi when the whole process was complete, adding in the caption, "I will think of her every time I look at it."
Her "Wheel of Fortune" co-host, Ryan Seacrest, took to the comments section to show his support, writing "Love it. Now this is making me want one…"
Along with Gigi, White shares her son, Nikko, 30, with her ex-husband. Her son recently got a lot of attention after White posted a video of the two of them cooking dinner together on her Instagram in late 2024.
"I recently posted a video of me and my son, Nikko, cooking, and it got a lot of response," she said on an episode of "Wheel of Fortune" in January. "I don't get it."
Seacrest then had to step in and explain "the kids are calling Nikko a thirst trap," adding the white shirt he was wearing in the video was a little snug, joking "he went to the Baby Gap to buy that shirt." He assured White that this was a good thing, telling her people "found him strikingly good-looking."
Some of the comments under White's post included "Vanna where have you been hiding Nikko ? He's GORGEOUS," and "Your son is hot!!!"
Nikko addressed the attention himself in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, telling the outlet the attention he received was "flattering."
"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."

Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are headed to streaming
Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are coming to streaming for the first time. The two game shows will arrive on Hulu and Peacock in September, according to a report from The New York Times. Under the multi-year deal, new episodes of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune will appear on both streaming services one day after they air on linear TV. The agreement will include older episodes of each show, too. For decades, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune have been staples on linear TV, and their expansion to Peacock and Hulu is part of a broader pattern that's bringing key series, like WWE's Monday Night Raw, to streaming. As pointed out by The Hollywood Reporter, this streaming deal isn't directly connected to the legal battle involving Sony — the producer of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! — and its distributor, CBS. Last year, Sony sued CBS over claims it breached their agreement by not doing enough to boost revenue from licensing the shows. A judge granted Sony the rights to distribute Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! in April, but an appellate court ruled last week that CBS can keep distributing the shows during the legal battle.

All About Justin and Hailey Bieber's 'Miracle' Baby Jack Blues Bieber
Justin and Hailey Bieber welcomed their first child together in August 2024. The baby was named Jack Blues Bieber in keeping with a Bieber family tradition to have the initials "JB." His arrival caused a "total shift" in Justin and Hailey's and Hailey Bieber are the proud new parents of their firstborn son, Jack Blues Bieber. The couple welcomed their "miracle" baby in August 2024 and have basically been in the honeymoon phase with their son ever since. "The pregnancy was something that they very much wished and prayed for. The day they found out that Hailey was pregnant, was the best ever for Justin," an insider previously told People. "He was over the moon with excitement. It was a big celebration for them." Hailey Bieber has since celebrated her first Mother's Day as a mom, calling parenthood the "wildest, coolest thing I've ever done." Oh, and since welcoming Jack, she's somehow found time to ink a billion dollar deal for E.l.f. Beauty to acquire her viral skincare brand, rhode. Still, the model illuminated some of her fears around parenting in the limelight during an interview with The Sunday Times. "It's enough that people say things about my husband or my friends," she told the publication. "I can't imagine having to confront people saying things about a child.' That said, 'We can only do the best we can to raise them. As long as they feel loved and safe.' Ahead, everything the model and her pop star husband have shared so far about their baby boy, Jack Blues Bieber. The model did not reveal she was expecting until she was already six months pregnant. A source later explained their reasoning in an interview with People. 'They've felt very protective of the baby from the moment they found out,' the insider said at the time. 'It was important for them to keep it quiet and just enjoy for as long as possible before they publicly confirmed [it].' The couple did tell their close friends and family, however, and simply asked them "not share until they were ready to announce." Following the announcement, the rhode founder took her style cues from fellow celebrity mom Rihanna. Hailey actually referenced the "Umbrella" singer's pregnancy looks long before she herself was expecting, back in 2022. "[Rihanna] was the most gorgeous, hottest pregnant woman I've ever seen," Hailey told W Magazine. "And I think I'll only know when that time comes, but yeah," she said, "I definitely don't want to feel like I have to sacrifice my style when being pregnant. My style is something that's really important to me." New dad Justin announced his son's arrival on Instagram, writing, "WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER 🐻." A source later told People that the couple was "overjoyed." "The baby is such a miracle. He's adorable and doing well," the insider said, adding, "Hailey's doing well, too." Though the couple did not reveal Jack's exact birthdate, fellow model mom Adwoa Aboah later let it slip that their babies were born "a day apart." Fans now believe that Jack was born on August 22. The name Jack Blues Bieber is sentimental for a number of reasons: Jack is the middle name of Justin's dad, Jeremy Bieber, and with the initials "JB," baby Jack is following in the footsteps of both Justin and his grandfather, as well as his aunt and uncle Jazmyn and Jaxon with his very own "JB" name. Roughly nine months after Jack's arrival, Hailey opened up about her birth story in an interview with Vogue. The beauty mogul revealed that she had suffered from life-threatening postpartum complications. 'That shit was so crazy. That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing,' Bieber said about her 18-hour labor. However, things took a turn for the worse after Jack's arrival when doctors were unable to stop her bleeding and she had a postpartum hemorrhage. Despite trusting her doctor 'with [her] life,' the model said her concerns escalated when the medical staff tried unsuccessfully to staunch her bleeding. Admitting she was starting to 'get a little freaked out,' Bieber shared, 'I had peace that I knew [my doctor] would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind.' Setting aside those stubborn divorce rumors, adding a new baby to the mix was apparently just what the doctor ordered for the husband and wife duo. 'There has been a total shift in their marriage since renewing their vows [in May 2024] and welcoming baby Jack,' a source told Us Weekly a few months after Jack's arrival. 'He's truly brought them so much happiness and a renewed bond.' Given that Justin is a major hockey fan, perhaps it will come as no surprise that the "Never Say Never" singer wants to share the sport with his son. At a charity hockey game benefitting victims of the L.A. wildfires, Justin told reporters that he would teach Jack to skate "as soon as possible," jokingly adding "it's never too early," per People.
