Snooki's spokesperson said to People Magazine, "We can officially confirm that Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is pregnant and engaged to her boyfriend Jionni LaValle. Nicole is thrilled to finally be able to share her happy news with her fans."

Whether or not the pregnancy has consequences for a sixth Jersey Shore season is unclear. Currently Snooki and JWoww, Jenni Farley, are filming their spinoff series. The focus lies on their friendship and life as roommates, Snooki's pregnancy and engagement will not alter the focus of the show.
