NICOLE “Snooki” Polizzi shared rare photos of her husband Jionni LaValle with family, despite rumors of the couple’s marital problems.
The Jersey Shore star has repeatedly suggested that her and Jionni’s marriage is on the rocks with social media posts in recent months.
The MTV star’s most recent Instagram post did none of that, as Nicole, 36, shared several sweet photos of her husband in honor of Father’s Day.
She captioned the post: “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to the best daddy. @jlavalle5.”
The first photo showed Nicole and Jionni, 37, in the front seat of the car while their youngest son, five-year-old Angelo James, pressed his face against his father’s as he leaned into the back seat.
The second was a close-up of Jionni and Angelo sitting on a bike.
The next photo showed the proud father and the couple’s oldest son, 11-year-old Lorenzo Dominic, walking on the field at a Miami Dolphins football game.
Jionni was shown smiling alongside Nicole and her nine-year-old daughter Giovanna Marie in the following photo – during what appeared to be a school drip.
Nicole smiled tight-lipped in both photos she appeared in, while Jionna showed off her teeth as she browsed the photos.
Last week, Nicole shared a video on Instagram without her wedding ring amid rumors that she and Jionni are divorcing.
In the video, the reality TV star recreated her iconic look from the early days of Jersey Shore.
“Living in 2009,” Nicole captioned the post while also giving a shout out to her retail store Snooki Shop.
The video, set to the Jersey Shore theme song Get Crazy by LMFAO, captured the TV personality showing off her elaborate accessories and unique hairstyle.
Snooki showed off her oversized rhinestone-trimmed sunglasses, a glitzy cross necklace, cheetah earrings, and thick stacked bracelets.
Becoming known for the “Snooki poof”, the celebrity had the front of her hair pulled back and turned into a large beehive.
She also wore a low-cut dress, which she often wore on the show, as she danced with a duck-faced expression.
One accessory was missing from her ensemble, the TV star’s wedding ring.
Things have seemingly gotten worse for Nicole and Jionni in recent weeks following the release of Netflix’s new documentary Ashley Madison, where her husband’s name was mentioned.
NEVER TOGETHER
Last month, however, multiple sources revealed to The US Sun that the two were rarely under the same roof and regularly got into explosive fights.
The fallout from these arguments was said to have been captured by MTV cameras, but never seemed to make it to Jersey Shore.
A source claimed that the reality TV star opens up to “everyone” about her rocky relationship.
“They stay apart most of the time. In recent months, she said she hadn’t seen Jionni in a while and that he had left home.”
