‘Jersey Shore’s’ Angelina Pivarnick and Fiancé Vinny Tortorella Break Up Amid Cheating Allegations
Gym, tan, pregnancy.
Angelina Pivarnick shared that she's expecting her first baby during the latest episode of Jersey Shore Family Reunion.
The 39-year-old—who had shared on the MTV series' previous episode that she was single but had purchased sperm from a donor out of her desire to have a child—took a pregnancy test while costar Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola stood by in support during the May 14 episode of Jersey Shore Family Reunion's ninth and final season.
"There's no way that it just happened naturally," Angelina said while holding a positive pregnancy test a bathroom stall. "There's no sperm donor now!"
"I am pregnant!" she added during a confessional interview. "I did not think I was going to be able to get pregnant, but wow. I'm f--king pregnant!"
Meanwhile, Sammi—who shares son Vincent, 9 months, with husband Justin May—couldn't have been happier for her friend.
"I got chills," she told Angelina. "I'm gonna cry for you. I knew it. I literally have goosebumps!"
Angelina was so surprised by the news that she opted to take a second pregnancy test on camera to confirm she was actually with child.
"I didn't believe it at first," she told Sammi. "I'm in shock mode. I'm f--king shaking right now. Are you sure this is real? Bro, there's no way! I wasn't even trying, man."
"I think I gotta take another one," Angelina added. "This is a great thing, but I want to make sure that this is a real result."
Angelina—who was previously married to Chris Larangeira and then engaged to Vinny Tortorella—had joked about how she barely knew the unidentified man.
"I don't know his name," she quipped to her castmates in the season premiere. "I actually forgot it!"
The UM HELLO? podcast host—who shared in the season premiere that she had been sleeping with "multiple" men "but one for sure" at the time—went on to call the father of her future baby on the episode.
"So I have some news for you," she said over the phone. "I am officially, definitely pregnant—we're having a baby."

1. The show was originally set to air on VH1 and was more of a competition series, titled America's Biggest Guido and only featured male guidos. The only JS cast member who was part of that initial pilot was Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.
2. When the concept changed, with producers realizing they needed women as well because they "fight," per casting director Doron Ofir, The Situation was their first housemate. He made quite the impression during his casting interview, too. As creator SallyAnn Salsano recalled to Vulture in 2019, The Situation was like, "'Okay, let me just take my shirt off first.'"
"I was like, 'What?'" Salsano added. "I have never in my life met someone that felt more comfortable upon not knowing you. He's like, 'Enough said, right?'"
3. Working as a bartender on Long Island, Jenni "JWoww" Farley actually auditioned for another VH1 reality show: Paris Hilton's My New BFF. But a few weeks later, she got a call about a little show about guidos instead.
E!
4. For Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio, who was working as a DJ in Rhode Island, he was contacted via MySpace (that's 2009 for ya.) But what sold the casting directors was a certain amenity he had in his home when they filmed a day-in-the-life package as a trial.
"What put Pauly D at the instant top of the list was that he owned his own tanning booth at his own house," Ofir told Vulture. "A tanning booth is like $10,000. Who's saving up coins and then buying a tanning booth?"
5. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who already developed a taste for reality TV stardom when she appeared on MTV's Is She Really Going Out With Him? with an ex, showed up "drunk" for her audition after seeing a casting call on Facebook.
"Nicole showed up in a miniskirt and she literally did cartwheels and flips," Ofir remembered. "She was extraordinary. Her application was smudged with fingerprints from her bronzer to the point that I was like, 'What happened to her application? What spilled on it?'"

6. While she's known by her infamous nickname Snooki, the pint-size reality star didn't actually go by that nickname, she just listed it on the application. As she admitted to Vulture, "Then I was like, "Oh, s--t. Now that it's stuck, I wish I'd put something else."
7. Before the show moved from VH1 to MTV, another guido was selected to join the show: Joey Fist Pumps, a pretty well-known regular on the Shore.
"He was literally called Joey Fist Pumps," Ofir added. "He was a union contractor, which is one of the reasons he wasn't able to do the show."
Another reason: MTV wanted a few younger stars. Goodbye, Joey Fist Pumps, hello Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Vinny Guadagnino!
8. According to Salsano, the iconic duck phone, which was found at a local thrift store, was a happy accident.
"Our art director went out and goes, 'I saw this duck phone. It's so ridiculous,'" she continued. "I said, 'We cannot leave that in the house. It doesn't make sense.' Then the show started and I'm like, 'Oh my God, we left that duck phone in there.' Now the duck phone is the national symbol of Jersey Shore."

9. In season one, the cast really did work at the T-shirt shop, with Vinny telling Vulture, "We did the first season for nothing, zero dollars, except whatever we made at the Shore Store."
10. Shop owner Danny Merk even revealed their salary to Vulture: "They started off at $10 an hour, then it went to $15, and then I think I gave them 20 bucks an hour at the very end." The hardest worker? If you asked Merk, he'd say Pauly D, with Jenni and Sammi proving talented at the cash register. Meanwhile, he says the worst employees were the Situation and Snooki.
11. After the monster success of the first season, the cast reportedly got a major pay raise, earning $10,000 per episode, per the New York Daily News. By the series' end in 2012, they were bringing in $100,000 per ep, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
12. Ever wonder where GTL came from? You can thank production, who found the cast's daily routine of going to the gym, hitting the tanning salon and doing laundry so tedious and mundane they were afraid they didn't have a show.
"We were writing on a dry-erase board—because we always were like, 'OK, so-and-so went here, so-and-so went here'—and every day we'd write 'gym, tanning, laundry,'" Salsano revealed to Vulture. "Then we got lazy and just started writing 'GTL.'"

13. Unlike many reality shows, over 40 cameras are rolling 24/7 on the Jersey Shore cast for the 30-50 days of filming, with Salsano once telling us, "We don't wait for something to happen, we keep them rolling."
14. The reality stars initially had no access to cellphones, TV, pen and paper and magazines, though they were initially allowed one personal call per week.
"The only time you're off camera is when you're in the bathroom. Even if you're in the bathroom with somebody else, they say two is a party, so they film it," Pauly D revealed to Vulture. "We took long showers to get away from cameras. But it does become second nature."
15. After Angelina's dramatic exits from the cast, Deena, who had auditioned for the show before it began, was brought in as her replacement in season three.
"Well, me and Nicole have been friends for, like, two years now," Deena told Entertainment Weekly in 2010, "and, you know, she needed a partner in crime, like, you know, on the show with her."

16. Any guests were carded before being allowed to enter the Jersey Shore home.
"People are literally given a field sobriety test to get into the house," Salsano explained to Vulture. "We have the same carding system they have at that club—that electronic thing where they run your ID—because we don't let anybody in the house that's not 21. Also, if someone is that inebriated, we'd ask people to leave."
17. Could you imagine Jersey Shore with a new cast of guidos and guidettes? It almost happened, with MTV initially looking at an all-new line-up of housemates for the second season.
18. The gang's Jersey Shore home is available to rent, but it'll cost you $3,500 per night to stay in the 6-bedroom and 3-bathroom Seaside Heights landmark. But fair warning: the jacuzzi isn't part of the house, as it's actually on the roof of the t-shirt shop.
E!
19. When Jersey Shore first debuted in 2009, many advertisers boycotted the show and pulled their ads, including Domino's Pizza and Dell. The show also received backlash from the Italian-American organization UNICO for its depiction of guidos.
"It was insane, I did not expect it," Salsano told THR at the time. "I was like, 'Why are they so mad?' If you look at the credits on the show, it's all Italian kids from the East Coast. This is our heritage; this was us as teens."
20. While the cast rarely held back on the show, JWoww and the Situation revealed the struggles they kept off-camera during the show's initial run on an episode of the revival series, Jersey Shore family Vacation.
Ahead of the cast's Italy-set fourth season, JWoww suffered a miscarriage, revealing she was a "f--king mess" during filming because of the medication she was taking to cope. The Situation, meanwhile, explained his erratic season four and season five behavior was due to withdrawals as he was struggling to get sober.
