'Jersey Shore' Star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi Pregnant With Baby No. 3!

Snooki has another meatball in the oven!

On Thanksgiving Day (November 22), the Jersey Shore alum revealed she and husband Jionni LaValle were expecting their third child together. The reality star, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, announced the news with the help of her little ones on Instagram.

“What I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving #family,” Snooki captioned one of two pics of her and LaValle's two children, Lorenzo and Giovanna, holding up a sonogram of their future baby. The second image seems to show the 6-year-old and his 4-year-old sister unable to contain their excitement over the newest addition to their baby bunch.

Months after becoming engaged in March 2012, the 30-year-old and her hubby welcomed their first child, son Lorenzo, the following August. Snooki later gave birth to her second child with LaValle, daughter Giovanna, in September 2014 before the couple married in November.

Snooki previously opened up to Us Weekly about her and the 31-year-old's struggles to have another child. “We’ve actually been trying for two months now and it’s not happening,” she told the publication. “So I’m just gonna relax. If it happens, it happens.”

She isn't the only Jersey Shore star to announce pregnancy news this year, either. Snooki's co-star and meatball in crime, Deena Cortese, revealed she and her fiancé Chris Buckner were expecting their first child, a son, back in July.
