Deena Nicole Cortese

Weddings are a time for love, joy and romance.

Unless you get married in front of the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cameras, that is. 

Back in January of 2019, Deena Nicole Cortese welcomed her first child, a baby boy named CJ.

Like most new moms, Deena began excitedly sharing CJ's pics on social media at the first opportunity.

In the early days of 2019, Deena Nicole Cortese welcomed her very first child, adorable little Christopher John “C.J.” Buckner.

This week, only 11 months after that glorious, life-changing event, she's giving fans a not-so-subtle glimpse ... at a sonogram.

On Saturday, January 5, Deena Nicole Cortese gave birth to her first child, Christopher John "CJ" Buckner.

He is perfect.

Gym, tan, laundry?

For Deena Nicole Cortese now, it will be feed, burp, change.

A major secret was revealed on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation this week.

And a major bombshell was dropped.

They... are... back!

Well, they were back.

This summer, Jersey Shore fans rejoiced at the news that Deena Cortese is pregnant with her first child!

Now, she is flaunting her baby bump while pregnant and on vacation. Some of her followers worry that she's endangering her unborn son.

For the cast members on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas.

It gets broadcast to millions of viewers each week!

There's good news for Jersey Shore fans: Deena Cortese is pregnant with her first child!

Deena and her husband, Christopher, are expecting a baby boy within the next six months.

Finally, folks:

A Jersey Shore story that has nothing to do with booze or fighting or violent acts perpetrated on a cast member by an angry baby mama.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation made its long-awaited debut on MTV last night, and the consensus among viewers seems to be that while the guidos and guidettes didn't quite deliver the same bonkers energy and smush-room shenanigans of their initial run, it was nice to check in with TV's most heavily spray-tanned cast.

Of course, not everyone was able to make it to South Beach to enjoy all the fist-pumping and facial fillers.

Once upon a time, MTV's Jersey Shore was garnering higher ratings than some of the biggest shows on broadcast TV. 

Nowadays, the network rarely charts in the ratings and is returning to old formats in an attempt to bring the network back to its former ratings glory.

There was a time, not all that long ago, when the cast members of Jersey Shore were some of the hottest stars on TV.

Predictably, however, a bunch of fist-pumping self-proclaimed guidos who were most noteworthy for their love of tanning and ability to coin a wide array of obnoxious slang terms for sex were unable to sustain that level of popularity.

Deena Nicole Cortese has officially grown up. 

The 29-year-old Jersey Shore star has announced that she and her long-time boyfriend, Christopher Buckner are engaged. 

"Babe, take a picture of me."

That must be the one request Deena Cortese's boyfriend, Chris Buckner must be sick of hearing.  All the poor guy wants to do is relax in Mexico, but Cortese is insistent that every outfit she puts on be shared on Instagram.

On last night's Couples Therapy Season 5 Episode 10, one cast member took a major step forward, while others were stuck in neutral, unsure of the future.

With this being the season finale, it marked an obvious turning point for the various couples, and sadly, we already know how it ended up for one of them.

Couples Therapy Season 5 Episode 9 delved right into some of Deena's issues. Hence the title, "Meatball Problems." If you're a Jersey Shore fan, you get it.

Every episode thus far on the VH1 reality series could have very well been termed "Meathead Problems" in reference to Juan Pablo Galavis, but we digress.

A new couple joined the house on VH1's Couples Therapy Season 5 Episode 2, and the rest of the cast had already seen one half of the duo nude.

That would be Jenna Jameson and her boyfriend, MMA coach John Wood.
