Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Angelina Pivarnick revealed she suffered a miscarriage after announcing her pregnancy on the show.
The reality TV star, 39, shared an update on her fertility journey during the Thursday, May 28, episode before confirming the miscarriage in a teaser for next week’s installment.
“I’m just not feeling myself. Some stuff’s happening with me and my pregnancy, and I don’t know what’s going on, and I don’t even know what to do,” she said in a confessional in Thursday’s episode.
Angelina visited her costar Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, who was also pregnant at the time, and shared her fears.
“I’m spotting,” Angelina told Sammi. “I’m wearing a pad right now.”
Angelina’s comment worried Sammi, who had previously endured a pregnancy loss during her own fertility journey.
“I’m going to be honest with you: When I miscarried — like a chemical pregnancy — I was spotting right away, and then it, like, just, it happened,” Sammi, 39, said.
She continued, “So, to me, I’m getting a little concerned for you. I don’t want to think the worst, but for your own peace of mind, go to the ER and just check. They can see what’s going on.”
In another confessional, Angelina admitted she was “definitely scared about what I might find out.”
A promotional clip teasing next week’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation confirmed Angelina’s worst fears.
“I woke up in the middle of the night,” she said in the short clip. “I’m actively miscarrying.”
Angelina shared the news of her pregnancy in the May 14 episode, in which she was filmed showing Sammi a positive test.
“There’s no way that it just happened naturally. There’s no sperm donor now,” Angelina said at the time, referencing her fertility struggles that have been her main storyline this season.
Angelina further opened up about her surprise and excitement in a confessional during the episode.
“I did not think I was able to get pregnant, but, wow, I’m … pregnant,” she said. “This could be a great thing. This could be my fairy tale, my path, my baby.”
During the episode, she called the father, who was referred to as “John Doe-Nor” (a play on “donor”), to inform him of her pregnancy.
“So, I have some news for you,” she told him over the phone. “I am officially, definitely pregnant. We’re having a baby!”
The same night the show aired, Angelina wrote via X, “I’m pregnant !!!! #jsfamilyvacation.” She did not share any further updates via social media after the episode was filmed in March 2025.
