Snooki and Jionni Lavalle are engaged to be married and expecting a baby together, the ‘Jersey Shore’ star confirmed Wednesday, and thank goodness ‘cause the suspense was killing us, just killing us.
The couple found out she was pregnant right after New Year’s, meaning her first thought was, ‘I’ve been drinking!’ she told Us Weekly. ‘I was worried. It was New Year’s Eve and we were in Vegas, so I did go crazy.’
And we were going a bit crazy while we waited for Ms. Nicole Polizzi’s cover story to come out.
First she stepped out Friday out in a baggy outfit, carrying a big purse, an outfit preferred by those trying to hide a baby bump. She then appeared in public Monday with an engagement-ring hunk of bling on her engagement-ring finger -- check it out via People -- after an unnamed source told the mag that she and LaValle had gotten engaged.
But by Wednesday Snooki was telling the story her way: ‘I have different priorities now,’ she told Us. ‘I don’t care what anybody else thinks. As long as I know I’m ready and he’s ready.’
Added boyfriend LaValle: ‘We are not going to screw this up.’
Away from print, LaValle tweeted his thanks, plus apologies for the runaround: ‘Thank You everyone!!’ he said. ‘Sorry about that wait but glad everyones happy!! Nicole and I are real excited!! Our baby is going to be #ShortnTan’
But that wasn’t quite all from the boyfriend who doesn’t often step into the spotlight.
‘For All u jealous, disrespectful haters out there, u see what u wana see on tv! My fiancé and I n JR are going to be so happy! #youllgeturs.’
Perhaps that last bit should have been addressed directly to Snooki’s ex-boyfriend Emilio Masella, who on Monday actually took time out of his day to explain to TMZ that when he said, ‘I hope she has a miscarriage,’ he really meant that he hoped she wasn’t pregnant.
