Wheel of Fortune star Vanna White shared a rare image of her daughter Giovanna ‘Gigi’ Santo Pietro as she paid tribute to her on her 27th birthday.
The legendary TV star took to Instagram to wish Gigi a happy birthday on her special day.
One of the photos showed Gigi as a baby wearing a blue dress.
The other snapshot shows her many years later, as an adult.
She captioned the post: “Happy 27th birthday to my amazing daughter! You are so beautiful, smart, kind, and a talented artist! I love you Gigi!”
Fans flooded the comments and gushed over Vanna’s “mini-me.”
One person said: “She’s very pretty, she looks like you with dark hair.”
Another user added: “The spitting image of Vanna.”
Someone else wrote: ‘Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter! She’s your mini-me!’
One user commented: “I thought it was Vanna! Happy birthday, you are so beautiful!”
One of the photos showed Gigi as a baby wearing a blue dress, while the other showed her as an adult.
Fans flooded the comments and gushed over Vanna’s “mini-me.”
Vanna shares two children with ex-husband George Santo Pietro: son Nikko, 29, and daughter Gigi.
In addition to being the iconic co-host of Wheel of Fortune for the past four decades, Vanna (a former Miss Georgia USA contestant in 1978) has acted in minor roles and appeared as herself in films and on television.
Vanna was one of three replacements for former Wheel Of Fortune host Susan Stafford, who left in October 1982 and became the regular host just two months later in December.
However, she is now in trouble as she finds it very difficult to continue without her co-star and long-time leading man Pat Sajak, so she may quit before her contract is up.
The 67-year-old legendary gamer shared a table with Sajak, 77, for four decades until his recent retirement, and now co-hosts the game show alongside his replacement, Ryan Seacrest.
But a source told DailyMail.com that Vanna is finding it so difficult to “get on good terms” with the American Idol host, 49, that she is considering leaving the show before her two-year contract ends in 2026.
Vanna (seen with Pat Sajak) shares two children with ex-husband George Santo Pietro: son Nikko, 29, and daughter Gigi.
The legendary 67-year-old actor co-starred with Sajak, 77, for four decades until his recent retirement (the duo were seen in season 10 together).
“Vanna will be leaving the show when her contract is up, but there’s a part of her that wants to get away sooner,” a source from the show said.
‘It’s very difficult to do this without Pat.
“She just doesn’t get along with Ryan like she did with Pat, and nobody expected her to. There’s no way she could.”
They continued: ‘Vanna feels like she’s invested her time. She dedicated her entire life to this show and had an incredible career while making a fortune.
“She knows the show needs to go in a different direction and appeal to a younger audience. She wants the show to continue.
‘This will require a younger host, someone who can be to Ryan what she was to Pat.’
