In a heartfelt post, Sammi revealed the exciting news, writing, “We’ve been keeping a little secret… ✨Baby May Due August 2025✨🤰🏻.” She went on to share the emotional journey the couple has been through, including struggles with infertility. “After struggling through years of infertility, this is the absolute greatest blessing we could ever possibly ask for!” she expressed. “We are so thrilled to finally be able to share the news of our little miracle with you all! Our hearts have never been so full of love, we can’t wait to meet you baby! 🫶🏼🥹💕.”

A Journey of Resilience and Love

In a November 2024 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Sammi opened up about a devastating miscarriage she experienced before her engagement to Justin. She revealed that the couple had undergone IVF treatments, but sadly, the pregnancy did not progress as hoped.
“This has been a very long process. It’s been a lot of shots, it’s been a lot of hormones,” Sammi shared in the emotional confessional. “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.”
Despite the heartbreak, Sammi praised Justin for being her rock throughout the difficult journey. “He’s so positive and uplifting,” she said. “He’s been by my side through this whole thing. I just love him.”
A Love Story for the Ages
Sammi and Justin got engaged on March 16, 2024, and their love story has been nothing short of inspiring. When Justin proposed, Sammi took to Instagram to share her joy, writing, “Happiest & luckiest girl in the world 😭. I’ll love you forever and then some. Can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Now, as they prepare to welcome their first child together, the couple is embracing this new chapter with open hearts. Their journey is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of hope.
