Angelina from Jersey Shore and her fiance Vinny Tortorella have been engaged for over a year now. They announced their engagement back in April 2023. But since then, there have been several different times when their relationship seemed to be struggling.
The latest update we have received from the two of them was a couple of months ago, around Valentine’s Day 2024. On the 15th of February, Angelina posted a photo of the gifts she received from Vinny on her Instagram story. Based on the picture, she received flowers and a Valentine’s Day card.
She added a text to the story, saying: “Beautiful flowers from my wonderful, loving, helpful, thoughtful, selfless, supportive fiancé.” She also wished Vinny a happy Valentine’s Day and specified that it was the third one they were spending together.
As for Vinny, Angelina’s Instagram story also showed the message he wrote on the card. He also wished Angelina a happy third Valentine’s Day together. He also called her the love of his life and his best friend.
Vinny added: “Let’s spend the rest of our life together with tons of love together as one.” So it’s safe to say that the two of them were still together as of Valentine’s Day. Angelina confirmed this by adding hashtags saying, “We are fine” and “Don’t believe the hype” to her story.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Told a Very Different Story
However, that same day, a new episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation aired. Their relationship on the show looks very different from Angelina’s Instagram story.
In the episode that aired on February 15th, Angelina was talking to Mike The Situation and his wife Lauren about her concerns regarding her relationship with Vinny. Among other things, she said that Vinny hadn’t been home for weeks, and she was worried he didn’t want to spend time with her anymore.
Lauren even asked her if she and Vinny had broken up. Angelina actually didn’t have a straight answer to that question.
She said to Lauren: “He said he wants to work it out but he’s never home.” Then she described more issues in their relationship that had to do with money.
It is important to note that although the episode aired on February 15th. This conversation would have occurred months before that, when the episode was filmed.
This wasn’t the only concerning situation involving Angelina and Vinny’s relationship in the second half of 2023. In early August, it was reported by Page Six that Angelina called the police to her home after a domestic incident that happened between her and Vinny.
It was never specified what exactly happened that night. The nature of the incident is not publicly known to this day.
According to Page Six, Angelina ultimately decided she wouldn’t press charges against Vinny for whatever happened between them. After talking with the police, she decided to let the matter go.
However, she and Vinny’s attorneys released statements about the incident. Page six reported on both of them. There were a couple of points that these statements agreed on.
Angelina Said That Things Haven’t Been Great for the Couple
Angelina’s attorney confirmed that Angelina did in fact call the police to her home. Both her and Vinny’s attorney also confirmed that there were no charges filed after the incident.
Vinny’s attorney added that Angelina and Vinny are still engaged and living together. He also said: “Mr. Tortorella denies any act of impropriety that would warrant police involvement and denies any act of DV occurred.” Both of the attorneys also asked everyone to respect each of their clients’ privacy.
But in December, Angelina opened up about her and Vinny’s relationship in an interview with InTouch at iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball. She explained that things haven’t been going great. Angelina said that she and Vinny had been fighting a lot lately.

She told In Touch that she wasn’t receiving the support she needed from Vinny. She explained that her dog, Peanut, was not doing very well, health-wise and that it had been pretty hard on her since Peanut is really important to her.
Despite that, she said Vinny wasn’t helping her take care of Peanut. She said she asked him to watch her dog while she was away, attending the Jingle Ball, and he refused to help.
Angelina also opened the conversation about having kids. At the moment, she doesn’t have any kids.
But she said: “I’m not a mother of human children. But I want human babies.” She added that she didn’t want to have kids with someone who always argues with her. Especially when, according to her, the arguments tend to be about things that don’t actually matter.
But it’s worth noting that this interview happened a couple of months before Angelina posted her Valentine’s Day Instagram story. Based on that, she and Vinny seem to be going strong.
