Snooki & Jionni LaValle: Marriage Troubles Confirmed Ahead of Jersey Shore Reunion

Currently, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is in Miami, filming Jersey Shore: Family Vacation with her famous frenemies.

We imagine she’s enjoying the break from reality almost as much as Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (who’s currently facing 15 years in prison for tax evasion), as Snooki has some serious issues to face when she gets back home.

For several weeks now, reports that Snooki and Jionni LaValle are headed for divorce have been circulating non-stop on social media.

Insiders claim that Snooki and Jionni are living separate lives and have spent much of the past year simply going through the motions of a happy marriage.  

“Snooki and her husband have been having problems in their marriage,” an insider tells Life & Style.

The source adds that Snooki “thinks that Jionni is very controlling and that he doesn’t want her to work. He wants a housewife, not a working mom.”

Snooki hasn’t spoken publicly about her alleged marital issues, but Jionni recently let loose in an Instagram tirade that left fans feeling perplexed.

Apparently, LaValle wrote the post while his wife was packing for Miami.

Jionni admitted that he was upset with his wife’s decision to leave home for an extended period of time, but he also–somewhat confusingly–claimed that all is well in their marriage. 

“Hey guys, I’m going to visit this subject one time and one time only so……. My wife is filming a scene packing up and leaving for her new show and I AM CHOOSING TO NOT be on TV because I simply DO NOT like it,” LaValle wrote.

“You will not see me on her reality show. Being a reality star was never something I wanted to be when I grew up,” he added.

“We ARE not divorced. For the HATERS I hope this message finds you and confuses you even more about life and for the FANS of my wife and her show… I got your back!!!”

One insider says the real cause of Jionni’s anger is the fact that Snooki made the decision that he should stay home with the kids while she gets paid to party with her friends.

“She sees Jersey Shore as her show, and he came in after it began She doesn’t need or want him with her,” says the source.

The fact that Snooki has hooked up with Vinny Guadagnino and also has a complicated history with Sorrentino probably isn’t helping Jionni to relax.

No word yet on when Family Vacation will air.

But you can bet Jionni will be watching intently.

Snooki & Jionni LaValle: We"re Living Apart, But We"re NOT Divorced!

Rumors that Snooki and Jionni LaValle are headed for divorce have been circulating non-stop several months now, because apparently a surprising number of people still care what the former stars of Jersey Shore are up to these days.

Of course, the vast majority of those people didn’t tune into the recent Jersey Shore reunion special which tanked in the ratings, but that’s a different story…

For a long time, Snooki and Jionni refused to address the divorce rumors at all, which only furthered suspicions that they were on the verge of calling it quits.

And it’s hard to see why fans were convinced a divorce announcement was in the offing.

Seemingly out of the blue, Snooki abruptly stopped posting photos of Jionni on her Instagram page.

According to Radar Online, LaValle was even absent from the family Christmas card photo.

Some Snooki aficionados proposed other theories, but everyone seemed in agreement that comething was up with the LaValles.

And it looked as though whatever it was, they would do their best to keep it under wraps for the foreseeable future.

These days, however, Snooki is more in the spotlight than at any other time since the peak of her Shore fame, which makes it all but impossible to keep a secret.

It’s universally understood that Snooks is who people are tuning in to see (if they tune in, that is), which meand Mrs. Polizzi-LaValle is even more front-and-center than her cast mates.

Yes, folks may have lost interest in The Situation’s situation, but Snooki has maintained a pretty steady social media following over the years.

As in her Shore days, much of Snooki’s appeal stems from her candor, which may be why she’s decided to finally address the divorce rumors…

…by having Jionni clear things up:

“My wife is filming a scene packing up and leaving for her new show and I am choosing not to be on TV because I simply do not like it,” Jionni wrote on Instragam this week.

That may sound worrisome, but it turns out the reason he doesn’t want any part of the scene is that he doesn’t want her to go.

“I own my own business and work hard at it, that’s what I do,” LaValle.

“My wife is a reality star and works hard at that, that’s what she does.”

He did not respond to the persistent fan question about whether or not he and Snooki are living apart, but he did insist that they’re “not divorced.”

So it doesn’t sound like it’s all rainbows and sunshine in Snooki and Jionni’s world, but it does seem like they’re trying to work things out.

Probably not the best timing for her take off on a drunken road trip with a bunch of guys she’s previously hooked up with, but what are ya gonna do?

Snooki & Jionni LaValle: Headed For Divorce?!

When Snooki and Jionni LaValle got married back in 2014, they truly defied the odds.

No, not because of that dumb “don’t look for love on the Jersey Shore” mantra that some of Snooks’ roommates tried to make happen back in Season 1, but because of the circumstances under which their relationship began.

Usually, when romances start with one party telling the world that the other has a small penis while doing her best to cheat on him, it doesn’t bode well for the future.

Add to that the fact that Jionni bailed after just a few hours when he attempted to visit Snooki during her time in Italy, and it’s pretty clear that the smart money would have been on these two never making it to the altar.

But to the utter shock of many, Snooki and Jionni tied the knot, and they’re currently raising two kids together.

Of course, for a while now, the LaValles relationship has looked more like an amicable co-parenting partnership than an actual marriage.

And now fans are starting to suspect that the lack of romance is putting a strain on the couple.

Rumors of Snooki and Jionni living separate lives have been circulating for years.

Only in the past few months, however, have the LaValles stopped trying to hide the growing distance between them.

Fans have noticed that Jionni is nowhere to be found on Snooks’ social media page.

The couple is seldom seen together in public, and Jionni didn’t attend Deena Cortese’s wedding or any of the recent Shore reunion events with his wife.

“How come your husband is never in anything ever?” one fan recently asked on Snooks’ Instagram page.

“No more Jionni?” echoed another.

“Jionni never goes out with her and she seems to be going out a lot,” a source close to the couple tells Radar Online.

“He can’t say he has to take care of the kids because they live a few minutes away from his entire family.”

It’s not hard to see why fans are so curious.

According to Radar, Jionni and Snooki were spotted attending a comedy show together earlier this year, but they haven’t been photographed together with their kids since 2015!

Until today (seemingly in response to the latest round of rumors) the only pic Snooki had posted of Jionni in the past month was a throwback to their wedding day.

But who’s to say?

Maybe they’re one of those couples that can contentedly live separate lives and stay together for the kids.

Fans are a bit taken aback, of course, as Snooki … never struck as the unemotional type.

Snooki & Jionni LaValle Have Sex Once a Year?!

Nicole Polizzi has never exactly been the shy type, but in her new memoir, she drops some bombshell revelations that might surprise even the most diehard Snooki-philes.

First we learned how Snooki lost her virginity (the very definition of TMI).

Shortly thereafter, we found out that she once feared being eaten by Chris Christie. (We assume she was speaking figuratively in that one.)

Now, in a new excerpt obtained by Radar Online, we’re once again finding out some very surprising things about Snooki.

Most shocking of all is the fact that she’s gotten it in more in a single episode of Jersey Shore than in 10 months of marriage to Jionni LaValle”

“In all seriousness, we get it on once in a blue moon,” says Snooks in her book. “The urge strikes occasionally…it’s over and done quickly…I feel couples really need to have sex for five minutes once or twice a year.”

So based on their doin’ it schedule and their number of children, Snooki and Jionni take a positively Duggar-esque approach to sex and have a baby for every bang.

We’re beginning to think their actually might be some truth to those rumors about Jionni having an Ashley Madison account!
