Our hearts have never been so full of love, we can’t wait to meet you baby! 🫶🏼🥹💕.” Their post included a series of photos of the couple cradling ultrasound images, along with a final beachside setup featuring a teddy bear, balloons, daisies, and a framed sign announcing Baby May’s arrival—perhaps a nod to Giancola’s longtime ties to the Jersey Shore. Even her Jersey Shore family couldn’t contain their excitement. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi commented, “So so so happy for you both!!! You deserve it all my loves!!!” A journey filled with highs and lows Giancola’s pregnancy news comes just months after she shared the heartbreak of a miscarriage before her engagement to May. In a November episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, she opened up about experiencing pregnancy loss following a round of in vitro fertilization (IVF). “This has been a very long process. It’s been a lot of shots, it’s been a lot of hormones,” she said. “Just the thought of even being pregnant was such a magical moment for me, and just to have that taken away. It’s devastating for me.” But through it all, she’s had May by her side. “He’s so positive and uplifting,” Giancola said. “He’s so special to me, and I just am so thankful for him. He’s been by my side through this whole thing. I just love him.” The couple got engaged on March 16, 2024, with Giancola calling it “the easiest question I’ve ever answered.” “Happiest & luckiest girl in the world 😭. I’ll love you forever and then some,” she wrote in her engagement post. “Can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.” Now, their love story is growing—literally. And for Giancola, this baby is not just a milestone but a miracle.
