COUPLESSammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola's Engagement to Justin May 'Feels Right': 'They Want a Big Traditional Celebration'
Things are looking up for Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola!
The Jersey Shore star — who recently returned to the show's spin-off series after removing herself from the franchise for 11 years — revealed her engagement to Justin May earlier this month, and she couldn't seem happier.
Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola revealed her engagement earlier this month.
"Sammi didn’t know when or where a proposal would happen, so it was a lovely surprise," a source recently spilled to a news publication of Giancola, 37.
While she's previously had a failed engagement to ex-fiancé Christian Biscardi, whom she split from in 2021 — four months before going public with May — Giancola is certain "this time" feels "right," the insider shared, calling the former Karma bartender "her best friend."
Justin May popped the question in March.
"They want a big traditional celebration," the confidante noted, confirming: "Of course the cast will be invited!"
Giancola's costars were thrilled to hear their longtime friend had gotten engaged, as nearly all of them — except her toxic ex-boyfriend Ronnie Ortiz-Magro — flooded the comments section of her announcement post to express their warm wishes.
The couple went public with their relationship in November 2021.
"Life update: Fiancé 💍🥹♥️ 3.16.24," the reality television personality captioned a post featuring several images of Giancola flaunting her diamond ring. "The easiest question I’ve ever answered.. happiest & luckiest girl in the world 😭 I’ll love you forever and then some 🤍."
"#Futurewifey #Engaged Can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you," she concluded, noting it wasn't "an April Fools joke" despite sharing the news on Monday, April 1.
