Snooki and her husband Jionni were said to have been "living apart" in May 2024 and their marriage has been "on the rocks" years after the 2015 Ashley Madison hack

Back in 2015, a hack of the Ashley Madison website, that helped facilitate extra-marital affairs, revealed Jionni's email amongst the alleged subscribers.

Snooki denied the allegations at the time.

In the fallout she responded in an Instagram post: “This morning when I got a call from my publicist that a story was going to be printed on my husband ‘allegedly’ signing up on Ashley Madison, I laughed — and said lets not even comment and give the story any juice, because it couldn’t be any further from the truth."

She went on to call Jionni a "stand-up guy" who "loves his family more than anything."

Multiple sources have revealed to The U.S. Sun that Nicole, 36, and Jionni, 37, are rarely under the same roof, have regular explosive fights, and that the fallout to those arguments have been captured by MTV cameras but never seem to make the cut on Jersey Shore.

One source claimed the reality star vents to "everyone" about her rocky relationship. 

They said: "They stay apart a lot of the time.

"Within the last several months she said she hadn't seen Jionni in awhile and that he had left the house."

The source said that the star and her more camera shy husband will change off from staying in the two houses they own in different parts of New Jersey.

The insider also claimed that Nicole has said when they are under the same roof, they still aren't sleeping in the same bed. 

They added: "Nicole will sleep in her bed with the kids, and Jionni will be in another bedroom and won't get into their bed till she leaves."

The insider added that the pair often get into devastating, name calling fights, which have ended with Nicole in tears. 

The perplexed source alleged: "I know that MTV has filmed the fallout from their fights, but for some reason those cuts never seem to see the light of day."

How many children does Snooki have?

Snooki shares three kids with Jionni - sons Lorenzo Dominic, 11, and Angelo James, four; and daughter Giovanna Marie, nine.

Lorenzo was born on August 26, 2012, at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey.

The pair welcomed Giovanna on September 26, 2014, and Angelo on May 30, 2019.

Yeah, I was crazy

In a 2022 interview with People, Snooki revealed that she never wants her children to watch Jersey Shore.

She said: "Even if they're 30, I'm like, I don't want you watching that. It's weird.

"I mean, even now my kids are ten and eight 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.'

"So that's my story as of right now until they're older and then I'll be like, 'Yeah, I was crazy'".

Since October 2023, fans have speculated that the reality star is pregnant.

In December 2023, Snooki referenced the rumors when she introduced her followers to her "fourth child," a black mixed poodle.
