Reality-TV star Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola is married!
She and her longtime partner Justin May have reportedly tied the knot — capping off a dramatic chapter of love, heartbreak, resilience and new beginnings.
According to insiders cited by TMZ, the pair wed recently at a lavish ceremony at New Jersey’s Park Chateau Estate & Gardens, surrounded by friends and members of their “Jersey Shore” family.
The outlet also reported cameras were there to capture her big day.
Giancola previously just celebrated her bridal shower in November, according to one of her recent posts.
“Thank you so much to my favorite restaurant @la_mondina_brielle for hosting my beautiful bridal shower this past weekend!” she wrote. “The food as always was beyond delicious and the venue itself is absolutely stunning.”
Giancola’s Journey to Her Wedding
For the 38-year-old, the journey to marriage hasn’t been simple.
Giancola first gained fame as a cast member on the MTV hit “Jersey Shore.”
Prior to May, she dated her “Jersey Shore” costar Ronnie Ortiz-Magro on and off from 2009 to 2014.
In recent years she’s weathered a series of personal ups and downs including a painful miscarriage and a difficult IVF process — all documented on the show’s spinoff, “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.”
By early 2024, things began looking up: May proposed on March 16, and Giancola happily accepted.
“The easiest question I ever answered,” she posted on Instagram at the time. “[H]appiest & luckiest girl in the world 😭 I’ll love you forever and then some.”
The Two Welcomed a Baby This Year
A few months later, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together — a baby due August 2025.
“We’ve been keeping a little secret. ✨ Baby May due August 2025 ✨🤰🏻,” the caption of their joint Instagram post read. “After struggling through years of infertility, this is the absolute greatest blessing we could ever possibly ask for!”
She continued, “We are so thrilled to finally be able to share the news of our little miracle with you all! Our hearts have never been so full of love, we can’t wait to meet you baby!
Their pregnancy carried extra emotional weight after years of infertility and grief, and when their son Vincent Keith May arrived on August 20, 2025, Giancola called him her “rainbow miracle baby.”
“After this very long journey to get here, words cannot describe how blessed and truly grateful we are,” she added. “Forever living in our baby love bubble until further notice.”
I have watch Jersery Shore from day one.. And from day one I knew Sammy was to nice and too beautiful for this show. Although entertaining to watch every season. Sammy was the only girl on the show who had class. It’s was to bad she fell for bad boy Ron. Who disrespected her every step of the way. But while watching the show the worst show was when RoIn threw all of her stuff around and broke quite a bit of her things. We all thought that was it for her. But unfortunately she didn’t have enough at that time. But even though Sammy had to contend with the other drunken discusting girls who really didn’t and still don’t care how shamefully they acted in front of millions and especially their family’s who also watched it all. Even being so drunk two of the girls were arrested for being drunk in public. But our Sammy never let us the viewers down. She always held her head up. Cause she was and still is a very class A act. We followed you all through your final breakup with Ron and the second guy you were engaged to. But we all thought you were way to pretty for him. We are so so happy that you’ve found your soulmate! And yes he is a great looking guy. He seems cool quiet and very protective of his woman. And that tells your fans he’s a good man who will always protect, love and honor you. Your son is naturally a adorable baby. And between the two of you we all know he’s will be a very handsome young man. So Sammy we are all jumping for joy for you and you hubby and adorable son. ❤️
May our Lord Jesus bless you three with good health Lots of love and wealth in all you do. And thank you for always being that classy girl on the Jersey Shore!!!!!! You are definitely one of a kind!!!!!
