The entire cast of "Jersey Shore," who were all in their twenties when the show first aired, is now in their late thirties and early forties.
MTV aired the American reality television show "Jersey Shore" from December 3, 2009, to December 20, 2012. In seasons 1, 3, 5, and 6, the lives of eight housemates at a holiday home on the Jersey Shore in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, are followed, which is also the basic premise. Seasons 2 and 4 take place in South Beach, Florida, and Florence, Italy, respectively.
The show's cast included Pauly D, Nicole Polizzi, Michael Sorrentino, Sammi Giancola, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Jennifer Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Angelina Pivarnick, and Deena Nicole Cortese.
The show became a pop culture phenomenon, attracting the attention of journalists and inspiring conferences and classes at universities. Numerous international adaptations of the Shore franchise have been produced in other nations.
“Snooki & JWoww” were the most popular of the four Jersey Shore cast members to receive spin-off shows on MTV. The majority of the cast later appeared in other reality shows or got their own shows on different networks.
The following is a list of "Jersey Shore" cast members, along with their ages and other information:
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino (40 years old)
Mike Sorrentino went on to appear on a number of reality shows after making his hugely successful debut on "Jersey Shore," including "Dancing with the Stars," "Celebrity Big Brother," "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars," "Worst Cooks in America," his own series "The Sorrentinos," and "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars—Family Edition."
Off-screen, the Jersey Shore star battled addiction and personal problems for many years. A gym injury set off Sorrentino's struggle with prescription drug abuse after nearly two years of sobriety following a stay in rehab in 2012. Following his second admission to rehab, he told People in 2014 that he had been sober for 18 months. "It's my life, and I have to take care of it," Mike said. "If I'm not healthy mentally and physically, I'm not going to make it."
He and his brother, Marc Sorrentino, were charged with additional tax offenses in April 2017 after being indicted for tax offenses in 2014. Mike arrived at an upstate New York prison on January 15, 2019, to start his eight-month sentence.
He was released on September 12, 2019, and upon his return home, he and his wife, Lauren Pesce, whom he wed in 2018, immediately started working on "baby situations," he told People. In the fall of 2019, they made it known that Pesce miscarried. Romeo Reign, a boy, was born to Pesce in May 2021. In January 2023, a daughter named Mia Bella, their second child, was born.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi (35 years old)
With appearances on "The New Celebrity Apprentice" in 2017 and season 17 of "Dancing with the Stars," Polizzi continued to maintain her TV presence as one of the series' breakout stars, in addition to "Snooki & JWoww."
Polizzi even competed in a match at WrestleMania XXVII, a WWE event. Her fifth book, "Strong Is the New Sexy: My Kickass Story on Getting My Formula for Fierce," was released in 2015.
She and her husband, Jionni LaValle, who she married in 2014, have three children together: Lorenzo Dominic, Giovanna Marie, and Angelo James. In 2016, the couple debuted "Nicole & Jionni's Shore Flip," their renovation show. She also hosted the "Ridiculousness" spin-off, "Messyness," and the MTV reality series "How Far Is Tattoo Far?" for two seasons each.
Angelina Pavernick (36 years old)
Although she made guest appearances in later seasons and eventually joined the main cast of "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation," Angelina Pivarnick famously left the beach house three episodes into season one and then left again, this time permanently, in season two.
Pivarnick released the song "I'm Hot" in 2010 as her first attempt at rapping. In 2011, she entered the ring for “Total Nonstop Action Wrestling” on Spike TV. Pivarnick and her ex-boyfriend made an appearance on "Couples Therapy" in 2012. Later, Pivarnick contributed to New York's safety as an FDNY EMT.
Pivarnick tied the knot with Chris Larangeira in New Jersey in November 2019. But in January 2021, Pivarnick requested a divorce from Larangeira. Larangeira initially sought reconciliation but later filed for divorce in February 2022. Pivarnick represented Jersey Shore in the international competition spin-off series "All Star Shore" on Paramount+ in 2022.
Jennifer "JWoww" Farley (38 years old)
The four seasons of "Snooki & Jwoww," which aired from 2012 to 2015, featured Jenni "JWoww" Farley and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, her Seaside Heights roommate (the pair followed the series up with the webseries "Snooki & Jwoww: Moms with Attitude").
Farley also appeared briefly on "Marriage Boot Camp" and took home the title of "Worst Cook in America" in season seven. Meilani Alexandra, a daughter, and Greyson Valor, a son, were born to Farley and Roger Mathews, her husband, in 2014 and 2016, respectively.
Farley filed for divorce from Matthews in 2018 and disclosed the couple's son had been given an autism diagnosis. In August 2019, the divorce was finalized. Farley and professional wrestler Zack Clayton Carpinello got engaged in February 2021.
Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio (41 years old)
In 2012, Pauly DelVecchio had his own Jersey Shore spin-off, "The Pauly D Project," which followed the development of his DJ career. His career as a DJ has since seen some success, and he reportedly earns several million dollars from his residency at Harrah's Las Vegas and other businesses like cologne, tanning, and clothing lines.
Amabella Sophia Markert, a daughter, was born to him in 2013. DelVecchio started dating singer Aubrey O'Day in 2016, and the two dated intermittently as they filmed the VH1 reality series "Famously Single."
DelVecchio and Nikki Hall have been dating since 2019. They first connected when she participated in Season 1 of their MTV dating show "Double Shot at Love" with Vinny Guadagnino.
Vinny Guadagnino (35 years old)
After leaving Seaside Heights, Vinny Guadagnino went on to pursue a career in acting. 2013 saw him host his own MTV talk show, "The Show with Vinny," and he appeared as a guest on "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" and "90210."
The actor and his mother, Paola Gaudagnino, began filming "Vinny & Ma Eat America," a reality travel show, in 2016. Later, he appeared in "Double Shot at Love" with Pauly D.
Guadagnino made appearances on "The Masked Dancer" and "Dancing with the Stars," two reality dance competition programs. He has also advocated for a low-carbohydrate diet after losing 50 pounds by altering his diet.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro (37 years old)
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro revealed to People in 2014 that he and on-again, off-again girlfriend Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola had called it quits. Later, he joined the cast of “Famously Single,” where he met Malika Haqq, his now-ex and Khloé Kardashian's BFF.
The reality star, who has an on-again, off-again girlfriend named Jen Harley and a daughter named Ariana together, made headlines for his very public fights.
Ortiz-Magro proposed to Saffire Matos in June 2021 after dating her since the beginning of 2020. The couple separated, though, in July 2022. In May 2021, Ortiz-Magro left "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" to "seek medical treatment for mental health issues." In August 2022, when he returned to the show, he disclosed that he had been sober for a year at that time.
Deena Cortese (36 years old)
In the third season of "Jersey Shore," Deena Cortese joined the cast and stayed for the remainder of the original run. In 2014, she made an appearance on "Couples Therapy" and several "Snooki & JWoww" episodes.
In Mexico for a romantic getaway in November 2016, Cortese proposed to boyfriend Christopher Buckner. The couple married in 2017, and in January 2019 they had their first child, a boy named Christopher John. In May 2021, she gave birth to a boy named Cameron Theo.
Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola (36 years old)
In 2013, Sammi Giancola debuted her clothing line, Sweetheart Styles. She started co-hosting the "Just Sayin'" podcast in 2015; it was finished in November 2017. A few of Giancola's former "Jersey Shore" co-stars attended her 30th birthday party in New York City in March 2017.
Giancola declined to appear on "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation," stating that she was "at a completely different place in my life right now, focusing on my businesses and my relationship." She continued to be close with her former cast members, even showing up at Cortese's baby shower.
When she declared her engagement to her boyfriend, Christian Biscardi, in March 2019, the entire cast rejoiced. The couple did, however, split in 2021. Later that year, she started dating Justin May.
