Snooki Confirms Pregnancy, Engagement
Call it Jersey Shore plus one more.
Snooki has made it official. The hard partying Jersey girl appears on the cover of US Weekly confirming the not-so-surprising news that she's 15 weeks pregnant and engaged to boyfriend Jionni LaValle.
After months of denying her pregnancy, the 24-year-old reality starlet told US why she lied to the media.
"I wanted to make sure the baby is okay," says Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. "Things can go wrong, like a miscarriage. It was my business, and I wasn't ready to tell."
Snooki believes the pregnancy was a "happy accident," but panicked after knocking back a few drinks over the holidays. "I was worried," she admits. "It was New Year's Eve and we were in Vegas, so I did go crazy."
The two, who have been dating for a year and a half, are already having a difference of opinion on parenting. If they have a girl, LaValle told the magazine, "she is not dating until she is 18." But Snooki would give her daughter a lot more freedom: "I'm letting her date," she says. "I started dating at 13."
