Despite such a successful TV personality career, Vanna struggled when it came to her personal life. With her primary love interest passing away in a plane crash, she remarried restaurant owner George Santo Pietro in December 1990.
The dark times didn't end there, as her first pregnancy ended due to a miscarriage. Later, White gave birth to a son Nicholas in 1994 and a daughter Gigi in 1997.
Like kids of other celebrities, Gigi also became a person of interest due to her parent's popularity. So who is Vanna White's daughter? Here are some facts to help you know Gigi Santo Pietro better.

Vanna took the time to wish her daughter a happy 21st birthday on July 2, 2018, which only leads up to the fact that Gigi arrived in this world on July 2.
While Gigi was quite actively making appearances with her mother on several red carpets, she stepped back as she grew up. So not much information exists out there about Gigi, and it's safe to say that she loves her privacy.
As for the celebrity daughter's relationship status, she is likely single and not in lovey-dovey with anyone. Well, not in the media at least! But who knows maybe she is in a romantic bond but is keeping it under the radar.
