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.”
