Snooki shares three kids with her husband, Jionni LaValle: sons Lorenzo Dominic and Angelo James and daughter Giovanna Marie.

In her first live interview after giving birth to her oldest child, Lorenzo, in 2012, she said that while she was still her outgoing self, she happily quit the rowdy, party-girl lifestyle in favor of a quiet home life.

“I definitely partied for three people my entire life,” Snooki told TODAY’sSavannah Guthrie. “I feel like now I have a family. Life changed … I love it.”

The reality star keeps her children as far away from the show as possible. In September 2022, Snooki told PEOPLE that even when her children are older, she won’t let them watch the series.

“Even if they’re 30, I’m like, I don’t want you watching that. It’s weird,” she said, adding: “I mean, even now my kids are 10 and 8 and they’re on TikTok and they see old clips and stuff. So they’re like, ‘Mommy, what are you doing here?’ And I’m just like, ‘Mommy’s a paid actress. They made me do that.’ "

Here’s everything to know about Snooki’s three children: Lorenzo Dominic, Giovanna Marie and Angelo James LaValle.

Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, 11

On Aug. 26, 2012, Snooki gave birth to her first child, son Lorenzo Dominic, at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey.

“I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic! I had my little man last night, healthy at 6lbs! HE’S MY WORLD!” theJersey Shorestar announced onX, formerly known as Twitter.

Six days after welcoming their bundle of joy, Snooki and her then-fiancé LaValle spoke with PEOPLE for an exclusive interview.

“It’s a different kind of love that I never felt before,” Snooki, who spent a grueling 24 hours in labor, told PEOPLE. “When I got pregnant, everything changed,” she added. “The partying is long gone. I’m a new person.”

The couple said naming their son was easy, with his middle name honoring Snooki’s late uncle, Dominic. “We were going back and forth, and I just happened to think of Lorenzo,” LaValle told PEOPLE. “She loved it.”

Lorenzo even had awrestling-themed birthday party in 2021, complete with WWE décor and a ring-shaped cake.

In an August 2024 interview, Snooki told PEOPLE that as Lorenzo gets closer to the teenage years, he “definitely doesn’t want Mommy anymore.”

“I miss him being like cuddly and like always like wanting Mommy,” she said. “There’s still moments where he’ll hug me or whatever, but he’s definitely growing into himself and starting to like girls and stuff like that. It makes me upset, but at the same time, I’m so proud of him and seeing him grow and excel in sports and everything. But I definitely do miss Lorenzo being 4 years old and wanting me.”

Giovanna Marie LaValle, 10

In 2014, Snooki and LaValle welcomed their second child, Giovanna Marie, at 4:28 a.m. on Sept. 26.

“So happy to let you know we had our beautiful daughter this morning Giovanna Marie LaValle. 6.7 lbs, full head of black hair & perfect,” she announced viaX.

When Snooki heard she was having a girl, she joined forces with her costar andJersey ShorebestieJenni “JWoww” Farleyto plan their daughters’ future friendship.

“They f—— better [get along],” Farley told PEOPLE before she welcomed daughter Meilani Alexandra in July 2014. “They’re basically cousins. There’s no option. You’re sisters.”

“Me and Jenni see each other almost every single day,” Snooki added. “I just feel like our kids are bound to be best friends and hang out all the time. They’re going to grow up and be like cousins. They’ll like each other, I hope.”

Luckily for Snooki and Farley, it seems their goal came to fruition as the two girls are best friends. Farley told PEOPLE in August 2023 that Giovanna and Meilani have been playing together “since they were 2 months old.”

“WhenSnooki & JWowwended, we did a show calledMoms with Attitudes.Our kids would see each other twice a week for two years,” Farley told PEOPLE exclusively at the premiere ofJersey Shore: Family Vacation.Snooki added: “They’re mini us.”

In June 2023, Giovannacelebrated her first Communion. Snooki posted a few sweet snaps from the day onInstagram.

She’s also developing her own sense of style, according to what Snooki told PEOPLE in August 2024.

‘She’s like in her teenage era right now where she wants to always look pretty and done up and going to Sephora and get the 100 creams,” she said. “I’m like, ‘You really don’t need that, you’re 10 years old.’ "

Angelo James LaValle, 5

Part of Snooki’s journey to her third pregnancy was documented onJersey Shore: Family Vacation. During a 2018 episode, Snooki said she was disappointed whenone pregnancy test came back negative.

“I’m not pregnant. I’m so annoyed,” she said. “I’m just old and I can’t f—— hang anymore.”

The same month the episode aired, however, Snooki and LaValle announced they were expecting onInstagram. The post featured a photo of Lorenzo and Giovanna holding a framed photo of Snooki’s sonogram. The caption read, “What I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving.”

In December, the LaValle family threw a smallsex reveal partyin which Lorenzo (who was 6 years old) hit a baseball filled with a blue-colored powder, signaling that Snooki was pregnant with a boy.

In May 2023, Snookicelebrated her son’s 4th birthdaywith a shark-themed party. The reality star posted pictures of all three children and her husband standing behind Angelo’s shark cake.
