Snooki has a lot to celebrate. Not only is she getting ready for motherhood (and to win the “mother of the year” title), but she's already engaged to be married. Snooki, it would seem, is really turning her life around.

Official confirmation that she's with child is still pending but the consensus is that this is really the case, and that the only reason she's not saying anything is because she was paid big bucks for an exclusive that should come out soon.

However, People magazine has more.

It would seem that Snooki is really growing up: she's also engaged to her boyfriend Jionni LaValle, the father of her child.

“Not only is Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi expecting her first child with Jionni LaValle, but PEOPLE has learned that the happy couple is also engaged!” the celebrity magazine gushes.

“The Jersey Shore star, 24, and her now husband-to-be will welcome a baby later this year, a source confirms,” People adds.

In recent interviews, Snooki denied that she was pregnant but, at the same time, she said she believed Jionni was the one.

However, marriage was not part of her immediate plans just then. It would appear that the pregnancy has changed a lot, People points out.

Over the weekend, fresh reports said that Snooki had made the decision to turn her life around completely because she wanted to be the best mother possible for her child.

Known for her crazy party antics, as well as for the massive amounts of alcohol she could ingest in one sitting, Snooki aspires for the “mother of the year” title now, as we also informed you at the time.

She was raised in a loving family and is very close to her own mother, so she wants to offer the same to her child, word has it.

Snooki is believed to be three months pregnant. Rumors first emerged online at the beginning of last month, but were quickly shut down by Snooki herself.
