Jersey Shore’s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has traded her wild partying days for the joys of motherhood. Snooki and her husband, Jionni LaValle, are proud parents to three kids: sons Lorenzo Dominic and Angelo James, and daughter Giovanna Marie. After giving birth to her first child, Lorenzo, in 2012, Snooki shared in her first live interview that while she still had her outgoing personality, she gladly left behind the party-girl lifestyle for a quieter home life. The reality star is committed to keeping her children away from the spotlight of the show. In September 2022, Snooki told that even when her kids grow up, she won’t let them watch the series. “Even if they’re 30, I’m like, I don’t want you watching that. It’s weird,” she said. “I mean, even now, my kids are 10 and 8, and they’re on TikTok, seeing old clips. So they’re like, ‘Mommy, what are you doing here?’ And I’m just like, ‘Mommy’s a paid actress. They made me do that.

On August 26, 2012, Snooki welcomed her first child, son Lorenzo Dominic, at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey. “I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic! I had my little man last night, healthy at 6lbs! HE’S MY WORLD!” the Jersey Shore star announced on X, formerly known as Twitter. Just six days after his birth, Snooki and her then-fiancé LaValle spoke with in an exclusive interview. “It’s a different kind of love that I never felt before,” Snooki, who endured a challenging 24-hour labor, told. “When I got pregnant, everything changed,” she added. “The partying is long gone. I’m a new person.” Naming their son was a breeze for the couple, with his middle name honoring Snooki’s late uncle, Dominic. “We were going back and forth, and I just happened to think of Lorenzo,” LaValle told. “She loved it.

In 2014, Snooki and LaValle welcomed their second child, Giovanna Marie, at 4:28 a.m. on September 26. “So happy to let you know we had our beautiful daughter this morning Giovanna Marie LaValle. 6.7 lbs, full head of black hair & perfect,” she announced via X. When Snooki learned she was having a girl, she teamed up with her Jersey Shore bestie, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, to plan their daughters’ future friendship. “They f—— better [get along],” Farley told before welcoming her own daughter, Meilani Alexandra, in July 2014. “They’re basically cousins. There’s no option. You’re sisters.” Snooki added, “Me and Jenni see each other almost every single day. I just feel like our kids are bound to be best friends and hang out all the time. They’re going to grow up and be like cousins. They’ll like each other, I hope

Snooki gave birth to her third child, a baby boy named Angelo James, on May 30, 2019. According to her rep, the newborn arrived at 2:30 a.m. weighing 7 lbs., 8 oz. “So thrilled to welcome baby Angelo into our little family! He is so sweet and a spitting image of Lorenzo as a baby,” Snooki told. “Jionni and I can’t wait to see how being outnumbered turns out!” Snooki’s journey to her third pregnancy was partially documented on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. During a 2018 episode, Snooki expressed her frustration when one pregnancy test came back negative. “I’m not pregnant. I’m so annoyed,” she said. “I’m just old and I can’t f—— hang anymore.
