Polizzi — who’s a mother to 6-year-old son, Lorenzo Dominic, and 4-year-old daughter, Giovanna Marie — announced she was pregnant on Thanksgiving. To share the exciting baby news, Polizzi posted a photo of her children holding her sonogram on Instagram and captioned it, “What I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving.” Jamie McCarthy/Getty Pregnant Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Reveals Sex of Baby on the Way — with the Help of Son Lorenzo On Thursday, the reality star revealed in a YouTube vlog that her third child on the way with LaValle, 31, will be a son.

In a vlog shared to her YouTube channel late last month, Polizzi recalled that she and LaValle had “been trying” to conceive their third child “since July,” lamenting, “I was getting a little worried because it wasn’t happening as soon as I wanted it to.” The expectant reality star previously admitted her preference for her third child’s sex — and fortunately for her, her wish was granted. In March 2016, she told E! News, “I don’t want any more girls. If I have a girl, I’m just going to be really upset about it.”
