Angelina Pivarnick has come a long way since her early days on the shore, when she made her debut lugging her belongings in trash bags, which cemented her status as one of the show's most memorable. From being called a "dirty little hamster" by Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino to throwing down for a fight with Jenni "J-Woww" Farley, Angelina has been through a lot with her "shore" family.

Despite leaving the original Jersey Shore after season 2, Angelina made her triumphant return to Jersey Shore Family Vacation in 2018.

Angelina has appeared on the revamped Jersey Shore spin-off from seasons 1 through 7, and she's returning to Jersey Shore Family Vacation season 8 when it premieres on May 29. Angelina's time on Jersey Shore Family Vacation has showcased many good times, like her 2019 wedding to Chris Larangeira and her finding her birth father, and not-so-good times, like her divorce from Chris in 2022 and figuring out that her birth father's intentions weren't pure. Wherever Angelina goes, chaos and drama tend to follow, so let's see what she's been up to since Jersey Shore Family Vacation season 7.

Angelina's Relationship Status

Angelina Is Currently Single

Angelina's stormy personal life has always been hard to follow. She's been engaged a whopping five times, and walked down the aisle once, with Chris in 2019, but that ended in divorce in 2022. Her wedding to Chris was featured on Jersey Shore Family Vacation, which dealt with the fallout after Angelina was upset that her bridesmaids, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Jenni, and Deena Cortese, roasted her during their speech at the reception.

Angelina also famously hooked up with her Jersey Shore cast mate Vinny Guadagnino, but it was never serious.

Angelina bounced back from her divorce by dating Vinny Tortorella, lovingly referred to as "Vinny 2.0" by her Jersey Shore castmates. Vinny appeared on the show with Angelina, and the two got engaged in 2022, but by early 2025, they were done. Vinny made headlines recently when he slid into the DMs of another MTV reality star, Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham, which sparked more drama for Angelina.

Farrah said she had zero interest in dating Vinny 2.0, and told OK! Magazine that she was "weirded out" by his message to her after he attended one of her comedy shows. Farrah's advice to Vinny 2.0? "Move on, Vinny, and stop trying to get back at your ex Angelina."

Angelina's Singing Career

Her 2010 Single?

OG fans of Jersey Shore will no doubt Angelina's first attempt at pop stardom. She dropped the mid-aughts bop, "I'm Hot," in 2010, and even though it might have been widely ridiculed (and Angelina defended herself from the haters by saying it was intended as a parody), it's actually quite catchy. Not catchy enough to propel Angelina into pop superstardom, or even get her on the same level as her co-star, DJ Pauly D, but still.

Angelina told Too Fab in 2023 that she planned to return to music. She even said she'd be releasing a sequel to "I'm Hot" with "I'm Hot #2," but that doesn't appear to have happened.

"I did dabble a little bit in music back in the day and I feel like I did that song 'I'm Hot,' it was a parody, but everybody loved it, it was all over the radio. I'm doing it now and I'm writing a new 'I'm Hot #2.' Gonna dip my toes back in the music world I think... I'm gonna take this a little more seriously."

A recent report in the Asbury Park Press said that Angelina's music career would be featured on the season of Jersey Shore Family Vacation. The publication quoted an MTV press release by saying that Angelina would be embarking "on her lifelong dream of pop stardom, going into the studio to record a debut album." Here's hoping that "I'm Hot #2" finally gets its due.

Angelina Bought A New Home

Angelina's Staying In Jersey

Angelina is also making moves in the real estate department. According to The Sun, Angelina recently dropped a large chunk of change on a new Jersey abode, buying a $3 million mansion in February. She listed her previous home in Freehold, New Jersey for $1.8 million in April, according to TMZ. Angelina had previously purchased that home for $1.3 million in 2021.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation season 8 premieres May 29 on MTV.
