Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his wife, Lauren Pesce, are college sweethearts who found their way back to each other and got married.
Their love story began at college, where they met in 2004 and dated for nearly four years. They were true college sweethearts, but paused their relationship when Mike started filming “Jersey Shore” in 2009. The MTV show wrapped in 2012, and Mike and Lauren reunited afterwards.
Mike proposed to his longtime girlfriend in April of 2018, and the special moment was aired on the June 21 episode of the “Jersey Shore” revival, “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.” They originally eyed Italy for their wedding location, but rearranged plans when Mike was sentenced to serve eight months in prison for tax evasion in Oct. 2018. They decided to stick to their roots and tie the knot in The Westin in Morristown, NJ on Nov. 1, 2018.
Mike and Lauren welcomed their son, Romeo, in May 2021, followed by a daughter, Mia, in Jan. 2023.
