14 DAY TRIAL // Great news from Snooki, aka Nicole Polizzi! The former Jersey Shore reality star and fiancé Jionni LaValle are now pregnant with their second child, who will be born this fall – about the same time when the pint-sized star will be walking down the aisle.
Rumors that Snooki was with child again actually emerged online for the first time in February but, at the time, they were just that: rumors that needed confirmation.
In a statement to Us Weekly, she confirms the happy news, while offering assurances to all her wedding guests that the ceremony will still take place as scheduled.
“Jionni and I were trying to have our second baby since November, so every month we kept taking tests. I'm due in the fall around my wedding time. Busy year!,” the 26-year-old star reveals for the celebrity publication.
She’s never made a secret of wanting a big family or of wanting her kids to be as close in age as possible, so, if you think about it, this piece of news shouldn’t even be that surprising. Still, it’s surprising that she managed to keep the secret for so long after the initial reports, especially since she’s been keeping busy with the wedding planning.
Oh yes, the ceremony is still on.
“I can clarify that our wedding is still on, and we are madly in love with each other. We've waited long enough and cannot wait,” Snooki says.
With all the planning and running her business empire, she still has time to focus on her figure and her health. The Snooki of today is very different from the Snooki MTV introduced on Jersey Shore: an overweight near-alcoholic that wouldn’t miss a chance to make a fool of herself, in public if possible.
Today, Snooki works out regularly and eats healthy, and she’s stopped partying and drinking since Lorenzo, her 19-month son with Jionni, was born.
“(I'm) still working out with my trainer, safely, obviously, and being more conscious of the bad foods I eat. I refuse to be in labor again for 27 hours, and being active definitely helps that. I also want to look somewhat in shape for my wedding. So along with still being a healthy pregnant woman, I still want to be strong and fit!” she explains.
Clearly, congratulations are in order. Knowing Snooki, we’ll probably be treated to an inside look into both her wedding and her pregnancy, through interviews and her reality show. So, if you’re a fan, keep an eye on this space.
