News of Giancola's pregnancy comes less than one year after she announced her and May's engagement in April 2024.
"Life update: Fiancé 💍🥹♥️ 3.16.24. The easiest question I’ve ever answered.. happiest & luckiest girl in the world 😭. I'll love you forever and then some 🤍 #Futurewifey #Engaged," she captioned her upload at the time.
Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola and Justin May's baby is due in August.
Giancola later began opening up about her infertility woes during the midseason premiere of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in September 2024, when she explained how she was in the midst of the egg retrieval process so she could hopefully conceive a child via IVF with May.
"I'm so secure in this relationship that for me, it's not my priority to get married," she shared last year in reference to why her and May were trying for a child before tying the knot. "Every year you get older, your eggs diminish. So for me, I just want to do what he have to now before it's too late to have children."
Giancola, who had a "harder" time getting pregnant due to her endometriosis, mentioned how she didn't want to tell anyone about her IVF journey just in case it wasn't successful.
"I don't know if I can carry a baby," she told her fiancé during the episode. "So I don't want to tell people and then have the heartbreak of 'Hey, we can't get pregnant.'"
