One fan even playfully offered, 'If your son is free, my daughter is too. Lol, they can cook together.'
And another simply stated, 'Vanna, your son is so handsome!'—leaving no doubt about what everyone was really hoping to solve.
Yet another chiimed in, '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 noted on his LinkedIn profile, and he lists cooking as one of his key hobbies.
He credits this passion to his father, a restaurateur who owned two popular California restaurants.
In addition to his work in real estate, Nikko describes himself as 'a social enthusiast' who enjoys hosting poetry nights and bringing people together.
He also enjoys 'playing the piano, reading, and prioritizing restful sleep.'

This isn't the first time Vanna has given fans a peek into her family life on social media.
Earlier this year, she also shared her pride for her children during an interview with Parade.
'I love bragging! My son is doing great as a real estate agent. He’s dedicated 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.
