She’s 4’8 of attitude, and ever since Nicole Elizabeth Polizzi burst on television screens in 2009, everyone has known the name “Snooki.” Along with Pauly D, JWoww, Sammi Sweetheart, The Situation, Vinny, Angelina and Ronnie, Snooki took the world by storm. More than a decade after the ‘Jersey Shore’ debuted on MTV, Snooki has grown up, and the days of getting ‘wasteypants’ along with JWoww, Pauly D and the rest of the ‘Jersey Shore’ crew seem far behind her. However, she has left a undeniable tanned mark on pop culture.
Beyond ‘Jersey Shore’ and its spin-offs – ‘Snooki & Jwoww’ and ‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ – Snooki has pursued a handful of different ventures. She’s reinvented herself as a novelist, having written ‘A Shore Thing’ (2001), ‘Confessions of a Guidette’ (2011) and ‘Gorilla Beach’ (2012). She has appeared inside a WWE ring, wrestling at WrestleMania 27. She has also settled down. Nicole married Jionni LaValle in 2014. The couple welcomed their first child, son Lorenzo, in 2012, and their daughter, Giovanna, in 2014. Their third child is due in 2019. While it seems that Snooki has been left on the Jersey Shore boardwalk, Nicole Polizzi continues to live her best life. Keep scrolling through the gallery to see photos of Nicole.
