All those rumours are true! Snooki and Jionni LaValle, boyfriend of one and a half years, are engaged and expecting a Jersey baby.

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.

Meanwhile fiance Jionni has taken to Twitter, "Thank You everyone!! Sorry about that wait but glad everyones happy!!" Nicole and I are real excited!! Our baby is going to be #ShortnTan" He also had a message for all the not-so-well-wishers, "For All u jealous, disrespectful haters out there, u see what u wana see on tv! My fiancé and I n JR are going to be so happy! #youllgeturs"
