It’s official — Jersey Shore alum DJ Pauly D is no longer DTF.
The reality star, 46, got engaged to Las Vegas-based influencer Nikki Hall after six years of dating. Getting down on bended knee at Sin City’s Omnia Dayclub on Sunday, September 27, Pauly (real name Paul DelVecchio Jr.) popped the question to a delighted Hall, 34.
Footage of the moment, shared via Instagram by the club and also DelVecchio, captured the MTV personality walking Hall to the center of a crowd she looked around in disbelief. A grinning DelVecchio, dressed in a black button-down shirt and black sunglasses, then pulled out a black box that he opened to present to Hall.
Grabbing her hand, he asked her if she would marry him, to which the influencer and former Double Shot at Love star nodded while keeping a hand over her mouth. Then, breaking down into tears, Hall steadied herself before letting DelVecchio place the bling on her finger.
Once the deed was done, DelVecchio addressed the crowd.
“She said yes,” he yelled as fans filmed the special moment and cheered the couple on. The video then showed the couple warmly embracing.
“Things just got serious,” a caption by the club read on the post. “Congratulations to @djpaulyd and Nikki Hall for their engagement.”
DelVecchio met Hall while filming MTV’s Double Shot at Love in 2019. (He signed onto the show alongside fellow Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino.)
After getting to know 20 single women, DelVecchio couldn’t decide on a match, but sparks later flew between him and Hall, who stayed connected once the show wrapped.
During season 4 of the six-season Jersey Shore, which extended into the 2018 spinoff Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, DelVecchio told the cast that he and Hall had decided to quarantine together in Las Vegas during the COVID-19 pandemic. He then officially introduced them to Hall after she joined him during a Zoom call.
Fans of DelVecchio were quick to congratulate him on proposing to Hall.
“FINALLY PAULY!!” wrote one fan, while another commented, “She been riding for him for a lonnnngggg time! Congratulations to them both!!”
Other social media users noted the time between the pair’s initial meeting and engagement. “It’s about damn time,” wrote another follower, while others wondered where Guadagnino, 38, was. “Has anyone checked in on @vinnyguadagnino 🤣🤣,” wrote one person.
Jersey Shore ran on MTV from December 2009 to December 2012 before it was rebooted in 2018. It followed the lives of a group of housemates, including Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Jenni “JWoww” Farley, and often honed in on their colorful dating lives.
