Giancola and May announced that they were expecting their first child together in February, writing on Instagram at the time, “After struggling through years of infertility, this is the absolute greatest blessing we could ever possibly ask for!”

“We are so thrilled to finally be able to share the news of our little miracle with you all!” the couple continued. “Our hearts have never been so full of love, we can’t wait to meet you baby!”

Giancola had previously shared in a November 2024 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation that she had suffered a miscarriage with May after a round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) before their March 2024 engagement.

“This has been a very long process. It’s been a lot of shots, it’s been a lot of hormones,” Giancola said in a confessional on the show. “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.”

Luckily for Giancola, she had May to help her through the heartbreaking time. “He’s so positive and uplifting. He’s so special to me, and I just am so thankful for him,” she gushed of her fiancé at the time. “He’s been by my side through this whole thing. I just love him.”
