Jersey Shore’s Sammi Giancola Is Expecting First Baby With Justin May

Jersey Shore alum Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola is going to be a mom!

“We’ve been keeping a little secret… Baby May due August 2025,” Giancola announced on Instagram, sharing photos with her fiancé Justin May, their sonogram and a sweet setup for their soon-to-be little one on the beach. “After struggling through years of infertility, this is the absolute greatest blessing we could ever possibly ask for! Our hearts have never been so full of love. We can’t wait to meet you, baby!”

The announcement sparked an outpouring of love from the Jersey Shore family. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi wrote, “So so so happy for you both! You deserve it all my loves,” while Lauren Sorrentino, wife of Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, added, “My heart is so happy for you both! Congratulations.” Jennifer “JWOWW” Farley chimed in, “I’m crying all over again.”

Fans also filled the comments with heartfelt messages: “The way my mouth just dropped for strangers. I’ve been watching y’all since I was 11 and I love this for you. Congratulations,” one fan wrote. “So happy for you! What a journey, congratulations,” chimed in the.ivf.warrior. “Proof that it does get better,” added another fan.

“We wish we could write to you all separately to just say thank you!! Seriously your comments have brought tears to my eyes,” Giancola followed up in response to all the love. “We are so grateful for all your prayers throughout our journey, thank you all. If you’re struggling through infertility, don’t give up! Miracles do happen!”

Giancola has been open about her fertility journey, sharing her struggles with infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF) during season 7 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. The 37-year-old, who froze her eggs three years ago, was initially nervous about how people would react to her IVF journey—but found immense support from fans.

“It’s really nice to be able to read all your messages; they don’t go unnoticed, and you really have been making my day a little bit better,” she shared in an Instagram Reel thanking fans for their support along her journey. “I am learning a lot from all of you out there. You are giving great advice to me, and I hope I can help someone else by sharing my journey. This is harder than it looks to put out there and to go through. If you are going through it, just know that I am thinking of you as well.”
