Jersey Shore's Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino Marries Lauren Pesce
Congratulations to Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce! The Jersey Shore star and his longtime love tied the knot.
Us Weekly reports that Sorrentino and Pesce married at the Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, N.J. on Thursday, Nov. 1, 2018. Many of Sorrentino's Jersey Shore co-stars — including Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Deena Nicole Cortese, Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio, Angelina Pivarnick, and Vinny Guadagnino — were in attendance for the wedding. Ortiz-Magro's on-again, off-again girlfriend Jen Harley was also a guest, and she brought her and Ortiz-Magro's 6-month-old daughter, Ariana, with her.
Polizzi's daughter Giovanna and Farley's daughter Meilani — who are both 4 years old — reportedly served as flower girls in the ceremony.
In an exclusive statement given to the magazine, the newlyweds shared, "We are so incredibly excited to begin our journey as husband and wife!" They continued, "We are each other's best friend and together we can handle anything. Thank you to all our family, friends and fans who have supported us every step of the way. Gym, Tan, Laurens is the new GTL! With Love, Mr. & Mrs. Michael Sorrentino."
Sorrentino proposed to Pesce while filming Jersey Shore Family Vacation, as was reported in April 2018. They'd previously met in college and dated for four years, breaking up before Sorrentino made a name for himself on MTV's Jersey Shore in 2009. They later got back together in 2012.
Sorrentino and Pesce will have a few months together as husband and wife before Sorrentino must surrender to the authorities. He must report to prison no sooner than Jan. 15, 2019, according to TMZ. As E! News notes, Sorrentino and his brother, Marc, were accused of hiding millions of dollars from the IRS between the years 2010 and 2012.
So, fortunately for the newly married couple, they'll be able to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's together before Sorrentino serves his eight-month sentence for tax evasion behind bars.
