Sorry Internet, Vanna White’s handsome son is taken.

Days after White, 67, shared a video of her son Nikko, 27, cooking a family recipe in her kitchen to celebrate Wheel of Fortune‘s Fabulous Food Week—which prompted a flurry of interest in her son, whom commenters deemed “gorgeous”—the real estate agent has revealed he is a taken man.

“I have an amazing girlfriend, she’s an absolute sweetheart, she’s a singer-songwriter, and we’ve been together for a year,” Nikko told Entertainment Tonight.

His girlfriend, Easae, has White’s full stamp of approval, as she told the outlet, “She’s so sweet.”

While Nikko might not be available to White’s many interested followers — one fan even offered to set Nikko up with her daughter, writing in a comment, “They can cook together” — he still had fun being called a “heartthrob” by some “thirsty” fans.

“It’s flattering,” he told the outlet of the “outpour from her fans,” before sharing his mom’s sweet response. “She turned to me and said, ‘Is this what viral means?’ And yeah, this is what viral means.”

White was certainly taken aback by the frenzy. She said the intention was just to post a cooking video “for fun” in honor of Fabulous Food Week on Wheel of Fortune. And look what happened!”

With Nikko in the spotlight, it’s likely fans will be seeing more of him and his mom, as White said she “would love” to have him on Wheel of Fortune soon.

“He’s been on the show many times but maybe now you can come on and do a little more,” she said.

Nikko is game, too. “I mean, I don’t know how well I’d play the game but I’d love to participate at some level,” he said. “I don’t know what that would look like but yeah, I could see that happening.”

After Nikko confirmed his relationship status to ET, his girlfriend shared a clip from the interview on her Instagram Stories as she gushed over his sweet comments.

“My boyfriend shouting out our love on @entertainmenttonight with his mama ❤️ 😍 ,” she wrote. “I’m obsessed.”
