In May, the 33-year-old NYC-based chef – who split from Katie Holmes in May 2021 – celebrated with loved ones at a beautiful outdoor baby shower.
The restaurant owner and actor held a big party to reveal that he and Sammy Piccininni, a burgeoning TikTok influencer, were set to become parents.
The couple, who went official with their relationship in August, shared the news and highlights from the celebration on both of their Instagram accounts, writing, ‘Half of me & half of you, we’re having a baby girl.’
Sammy displayed her small baby bump in a form-fitting white bodycon dress, while her partner appeared at ease in a cream sweater and dark trousers.
Upon cutting the confection, it was revealed that the upcoming arrival would be a girl, as shown by the pink filling between the layers.
Vitolo is employed as a chef at Emilio’s Ballato restaurant located in Soho, which is an Italian eatery established by his father during the early 1990s.
Working alongside his parents and two brothers, the business is a close-knit family affair.
