Angelina Pivarnick from Jersey Shore Reveals She’s Expecting!

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Angelina Pivarnick has revealed that she is expecting a baby.

The reality television personality announced the news in the Thursday, May 14, episode, where she showed her co-star Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola a positive pregnancy test.

“There’s no way that this just happened naturally. There’s no sperm donor involved now,” a surprised Angelina, 39, said, referencing her fertility journey that has been a primary focus this season.

“I didn’t think I could get pregnant, but, wow, I’m … pregnant,” Angelina shared in a confessional. “This could turn out to be a wonderful thing. This could be my fairy tale, my journey, my baby.”

Later in the episode, Angelina called the father of her unborn child, who was humorously referred to as “John Doe-Nor” (a nod to “donor”) on the show, to inform him of her pregnancy.

Angelina discussed her attempts to conceive using sperm donors, and faced some backlash when she made jokes about sleeping with multiple men to achieve pregnancy.

“I have needs, and they have needs,” Angelina shared in the May 7 episode. “If it happened, that would be amazing. I would absolutely welcome a pregnancy in my life right now.”

Angelina later took to her Instagram Story to clarify that her comments about her sex life were meant in jest.

“After last night’s episode, I want to clarify a moment that seems to have been misunderstood,” she wrote. “The comments I made were intended to be humorous and do not represent my true life. There are no ‘multiple men’ involved, and that narrative is simply inaccurate. Anyone who truly knows me understands the kind of person I am and the principles I uphold, especially concerning my relationships.”
