Nicole Polizzi is an American reality TV personality who became known in the early 2010s under the nickname, Snooki. Her infectious energy, signature hairstyle and knack for partying made her a pop culture sensation. But Snooki has a story far beyond Jersey shore beaches.
Born Nicole Elizabeth LaValle (nee Polizzi) in 1987, Snooki is from two different cultures. She was adopted at six months old by Italian-American parents Andy and Helen Polizzi in upstate New York. The nickname Snooki came from the middle school character in Save the Last Dance, “Snooki the cootchie crook.”
Little is known about Snooki’s early education beyond her major in veterinary medicine at Brookdale Community College. However, reality TV eventually became her calling.
In 2009, Snooki was cast in MTV reality show “Jersey Shore.” This TV show followed eight roommates on a Jersey Shore vacation. Snooki became a breakout star with her antics, catchphrases (“GTL” – Gym, Tan, Laundry) and big personality. It was a huge success and put Snooki in the limelight.
Though many found her style and behavior pushy, Snooki’s realness and self-deprecating humor won them over. So she embraced her new fame, appearing on talk shows and doing hosting jobs – and starting her own spin-off series with best friend Jenni Farley (“JWoww”).
Her on-screen persona also matured with Snooki. She married future husband Jionni LaValle in 2012. Their relationship which was documented on “Snooki and JWoww” revealed another side of Snooki – a woman ready for commitment and family. They married in 2014 and have 3 children together; L. Lorenzo, Giovanna, and Angelo.
Snooki’s career also evolved. She continued to film reality shows like “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation”, a reboot of the original that centers on the cast as parents. She also launched a clothing line called SnookiLove, a fitness app and other ventures.
The reality TV star and entrepreneur Snooki is estimated to have around USD 30 million net worth. Snooki has also showed a willingness to give back to the society. She has done charity events and raised awareness for causes she cares about.
Love her or hate her, Snooki has made her mark on pop culture. From reality TV star to mompreneur, she has handled fame with humor and resilience. Whether you remember her from “GTL” days or her recent focus on family, Nicole Polizzi aka Snooki remains a familiar face who continues to entertain and inspire audiences.
