Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is celebrating a major milestone in her family’s life. The “Jersey Shore” star marked her son Lorenzo Dominic’s 13th birthday with a heartfelt tribute and shared rare family photos featuring her husband, Jionni Lavelle, and their three children.
Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Celebrates Lorenzo’s Birthday With Family Photos
Despite ongoing rumors about their marriage, the couple looked smitten as they posed alongside Lorenzo, Giovanna Marie, and Angelo James. Polizzi, 36, shared both throwback and recent snapshots of her eldest son, including a moving caption on Instagram.
“My baby is THIRTEEN. You made me a mommy at 24 years old. You changed my entire world for the better,” Polizzi wrote. “I remember being so proud and excited to show you off on the cover of People magazine. You were already making mommy proud by being the youngest baby at 7 days old to be on the cover. I’m so proud of you in everything that you do. I LOVE YOU HUNNIE.”
Fans flooded the comments section in disbelief that the couple’s firstborn was already a teenager. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN 13?” one follower wrote. Another fan added, “Aww HBD to Lorenzo. I just rewatched the episode when he was a baby. Aww have the best day with your beautiful family Mawma! Lucky #13.”
The Celebration Comes Amid ‘Jersey Shore’ Spinoff Rumors
Lavelle, who rarely appears on “Jersey Shore” or Polizzi’s social media, smiled proudly beside his wife and children during the family’s celebration. His appearance quickly caught the attention of fans, who are used to seeing Polizzi in the spotlight while Lavelle maintains a private life.
The family milestone comes as Polizzi gears up for more screen time of her own. Last month, she was spotted at Kelowna International Airport in British Columbia, where she is believed to be filming for “Canada Shore,” the first Canadian installment of the MTV international Shores franchise.
According to Variety, the spinoff—produced by Canada’s Insight Productions—is expected to follow 10 “fresh-faced, unapologetically wild Canadian singletons who embody the Shores spirit.” The casting call promised a “big, imperfect family” ready to experience an unforgettable summer of drama, romance, and chaos. Early rumors suggest the show will be set in Okanagan, with filming beginning in summer 2025.
In July, social media footage confirmed Polizzi was in Canada filming with a crew, fueling speculation about her official role in the upcoming series. Whether she’s making a guest appearance or something bigger, fans are thrilled to see the MTV icon back in the Shores franchise.
