We can’t wait until he meets his big brother tomorrow!! #boymom #bucknerpartyof4.”
Cortese and Buckner revealed that they were expecting their second child in October. After announcing her pregnancy, the couple held a low-key gender reveal at a Halloween party, during which they found out whether they were having a “Boo-y” or a “Ghoul.” Of course, the two revealed that they were expecting their second son. Throughout her pregnancy, the Jersey Shore star kept her fans updated on social media. In December, she even shared the name that she and Buckner chose for their little one. At the time, she posted photos comparing her first pregnancy to her second one. In the caption for her Instagram post, she wrote that her second son’s name would be Cameron Theo.
