Fans were calling the baby Vinny 3.0, following in the footsteps of the show’s Vincent ‘Vinny’ Guadagnino and Angelina Pivarnick‘s ex Vinny Tortorella, who was nicknamed Vinny 2.0.
“VINNY 3.0,” one fan commented.
“CUTIE CONGRATS.”
“Anyone else Waiting for Vinny’s comment about the name,” another wrote.
The baby, wearing a blue hat with his name and a shirt reading, “Hi, I’m new here,” was born at 8:18 p.m., and weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces.
“Welcome to the family baby,” co-star Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi commented.
“So happy for you !!! He’s beautiful,” another Jersey Shore alum, Deena Buckner, wrote.
Giancola has been open about her struggles with infertility in the past, revealing last year that she had undergone IVF treatment.

“After struggling through years of infertility, this is the absolute greatest blessing we could ever possibly ask for,” she wrote on Instagram when she announced her pregnancy.
“We are so thrilled to finally be able to share the news of our little miracle with you all!”
On a Jersey Shore episode, Sammi had said that she suffered a miscarriage, but that her fiancé supported her the entire way.
“The thought of even being pregnant … such a magical moment for me.
“To have that taken away — it’s devastating for me.”
A rainbow baby is a term used for children born after a pregnancy loss.
Sammi and Justin got engaged in March 2024.
“He’s so special to me, and I just am so thankful for him,” she said of Justin.
“He’s been by my side through this whole thing. I just love him.”
“Sammi, we all know how much you’ve wanted this for so long,” commented one user on the post.
“I’m so happy to see your dream come true.”
