Jersey Shore veteran Angelina Pivarnick has announced she is expecting her first child. The 39-year-old reality TV star has been documenting her fertility journey on the ninth season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
Pregnancy Reveal
In an episode that aired on Thursday, the Staten Island native shared the happy news with friend Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola after a positive pregnancy test. 'There's no way that it just happened naturally. There's no sperm donor now,' a stunned Pivarnick said to Giancola.
'I did not think I was able to get pregnant, but, wow, I'm … pregnant,' she added in a confessional. 'This could be a great thing. This could be my fairy tale, my path, my baby.'
Father Identity
Later in the episode, Pivarnick called a man she referred to as 'John Doe-Nor,' a play on 'donor,' who appears to be the father. It was unclear if they were dating or if he simply donated sperm. She had previously expressed interest in using a sperm donor.
'So, I have some news for you,' she said on the call. 'I am officially, definitely pregnant — we're having a baby!'
Social Media Announcement
Pivarnick has yet to show her baby bump, but she posted on X on Thursday evening: 'Guys secrets out !!! I'm pregnant :).' The Daily Mail has contacted her representative for confirmation.
Earlier Comments
During the season premiere on May 7, Pivarnick revealed her hopes to conceive via a sperm donor, adding that she kept a vial of sperm in her refrigerator. She also joked about sleeping with 'multiple' men, saying she has her 'pickings.'
'I have needs, and they have needs,' she said. 'If it happened, that would be great. I would definitely welcome a pregnancy in my life right now.'
After backlash, Pivarnick clarified on social media: 'The comments I made were intended in jest and do not reflect my real life. There are no 'multiple men' and that narrative is simply not accurate.'
She turns 40 next month.
