MTV wasted no time teasing season 9 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. The beloved reality TV show’s next offering will premiere in 2026 and involve more of the trademark drama, friendships, and fighting that the franchise is known for. The teaser also gave viewers a sneak peek into another major storyline of season 9: pregnancies. Not only will fans witness Sammi Giancola’s gender reveal, but they’ll also see a shocked Angelina Pivarnick holding a positive pregnancy test as she collapses to the floor.

Is ‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ star Angelina Pivarnick pregnant?

Angelina Pivarnick appeared visibly shocked in the first-look Jersey Shore: Family Vacation teaser, via X.com. However, it wasn’t confirmed who the test actually belonged to. The 39-year-old’s reaction — covering her mouth in disbelief — came after she shared the news with Pauly D, who looked equally stunned.

After MTV released the teaser, fans flooded Angelina with congratulatory messages on Instagram. One commented, “Ang what did we miss!” Another wrote, “I KNEW YOU WERE PREGNANT!!!! Congratulations” and “She looks healthy.” Still, some viewers noted the footage was filmed months ago and pointed out that Angelina showed no signs of pregnancy at the VMAs last week.

Dr. Noa Sterling, an OBGYN and mom of three, notes via her viral TikTok, “If you start out pregnancy with really strong abdominal muscles, you can hold in a pregnancy for a long time.” Perhaps Angelina wasn’t showing when she attended the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7?

In June 2024, a domestic‐violence‐related incident at their home resulted in Angelina pleading guilty to disorderly conduct.
