MATCHING TATS?

Vanna also shared she loves how her children both have creative sides and she’s not opposed to letting her daughter give her some ink.

“You know what, I want to have matching hearts where she’ll do a little heart on me and she’ll do one on herself,” Vanna added to People.

“I feel like I need to do that because it’s her and it would be her on me.”

Vanna admitted that she “never dreamed” that her daughter – who graduated from NYU with an art degree – would become a tattoo artist.

“I said, ‘Gigi, why tattooing?” She goes, ‘Mom, my art is on someone’s body for the rest of their lives.’ I was like, ‘That’s pretty cool.’ You have to be so good and confident. You can’t mess up.

“So she absolutely loves it. She’s been doing that for the past three years and is doing a great job. I’m so, so proud of her,” she continued.

“They’re both artistic. Nico does artwork for fun. That’s his escape from the real world, his real life is in real estate, which is good for him. So he’s loving that as well.”

“From the time they were born, I wanted them to do whatever they wanted to do in life,” she shared.

Vanna has had a winning month as she extended her Wheel of Fortune contract until 2026 after months of tense negotiations.

Vanna will stay on for the first two years that Pat Sajak’s successor, Ryan Seacrest, hosts.

She also launched a Wheel-themed makeup line which she called: “So cute” and “hopefully the start of something big!”
