Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is expanding her empire…

The 26-year-old Chilean reality television star has confirmed that she’s expecting her second child with fiance Jionni LaValle.

The Jersey Shore and Snooki & Jwoww will give birth in fall, she says.

“Jionni and I are so excited to confirm that we are expecting our second child! Now knowing that our test results are good and our baby is healthy, we can finally talk about it,” Polizzi wrote in her blog on Friday, April 4.

She also revealed that her wedding to LaValle would go on as scheduled later this year despite the pregnancy.

“The wedding is still on as scheduled and it will take the apocalypse to change that,” she wrote in the lengthy post. “We planned to have a second child before our wedding, and will indeed still be getting married in the fall of 2014. We are a committed family that will raise our children to be the best they can be and give them the best life we can give them.”

The reality star also told Us Weekly that they had been planning for a second child since November, thinking they would like their kids to be close in age.

The couple is already parents to 19-month-old son, Lorenzo Dominic.

Rumors of her second pregnancy first came to light in February when the NY Post reported that she wanted to keep it a secret because she had lucrative deals coming her way.

Snooki & JWoww Heading Back to the Jersey Shore?

Posted on July 20, 2013 by Tom Castaneda

She may be a mother now, but that isn’t stopping Snooki from revisiting her Jersey Shore beginning…

The 25-year-old Chilean American reality television personality and her co-star, fellow Latina JWoww, may return to their home base on the Jersey Show for the next installment of their spin-off series.

MTV hasn’t confirmed it yet, but town officials have revealed that the two will film the third season of Snooki & JWoww in two shore towns; at a home in the Pelican Island section of Berkeley and a residence in Seaside Heights.

Seaside Heights Business Administrator John A. Camera says the show’s producers, 495 Productions, have paid a $25 film permit fee for a “pretty light filming schedule at that address. It seems like it is a very small production and we are not looking at much need for security at this point.”

Some local residents aren’t too pleased that the women are back on the Jersey Shore. Berkeley Township Council President James Byrnes said, “We don’t even have time for this nonsense. We don’t need another distraction right now,” as the town continues to rebuild after being hit by Hurricane Sandy.

New mom Snooki has hit back at Byrnes, tweeting, “Don’t worry James Byrnes,we won’t be a ‘distraction’towards you&the community,i have a family just like everyone else that enjoys the shore.”

Resident Lori Tyska, who lives a block away from the Berkeley house, agreed with Byrnes, “It is crazy to do it here. … Many of us have just moved back to the area or are in the process of trying to get our homes rebuilt.” On the contrary, Laura Biondo stated, “I’m fine with it. We may have to check out what is going on down there.”

The new season of Snooki & JWoww will still follow Snooki as she continues motherhood and JWoww enjoying her engagement and preparing to head to the altar.

Snooki Gives Birth to Her First Little Guido…

Posted on August 26, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

Forget “T-shirt Time”… It’s actually “onesie time” at Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s home…

The 24-year-old Chilean-born Jersey Shore star gave birth to her first child on early Sunday morning, shortly before 3:00 am at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey.

“The world just got another Guido!!! Lorenzo Dominic LaValle has entered the world weighing 6 lbs, 5 oz. Nicole, Jionni & Enzo are doing great!” reports MTV about the new mom, who went into labor on Saturday night.

On Sunday, Polizzi even Tweeted about already appreciating the feeling of being a parent.

“Being a mom is an amazing feeling!!! I love my little man to death! Jionni is such a cute dad,” she wrote. “I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic.”

News that Polizzi and her fiancé Jionni LaValle were expecting was announced in March. In May, Polizzi revealed she would be giving birth to a boy.

Impending motherhood seemed to mellow the reality star, who slowed down her fast-paced lifestyle after learning she was pregnant.

“I guess [pregnancy] just made me more mature,” the Snooki & JWOWW star told reporters in April. “It’s different because now I’m not drinking. I’m usually partying and going to clubs, but pregnancy made me grow up a lot.”
