Jersey Shore: Family Vacation devotees have debated whether stars Vinny Guadagnino and Angelina Pivarnick hooked up during Season 2, but their fellow castmate Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio suggested the pair connected romantically once again.
"I believe it, I don't know, I believe it," DelVecchio, 38, told OK! when asked about his costars Monday. "He's allowed to hook up with women, just no other guys."
If Pivarnick and Guadagnino did do the deed, this would be the second time the duo has connected on a romantic level. In Season 2 Episode 8 of the Jersey Shore, the pair began to make out in the back of a taxi cab after the group finished a night of clubbing. She was then spotted with Guadagnino beneath the covers of his bed. Pivarnick qualified this incident as a silly thing she did due to drinking, saying: "I was drunk, that's about it. You do stupid things when you're drunk."
This initial hook up came as a surprise to fans because the pair, who's both from the Staten Island borough of New York, frequently shared their disdain for each other. The episode prior to their hook up, Pivarnick and Guadagnino engaged in a full-on verbal altercation.
While Guadagnino had been in a relationship with Elicea Shyann, he was single at the time of the duo's apparent rekindled romance. Pivarnick, on the other hand, was engaged to boyfriend Chris Larangeira.
"His relationship was on and off," DelVecchio explained to OK!. "She's engaged, though, so if they did [hook up], that's a problem for her...They hooked up once back in the day, and then he called it a 'hate f***.'"
Guadagnino wouldn't be the first Jersey Shore roommate Pivarnick has been intimate with. During her time on the original Jersey Shore series, Pivarnick managed to hook up with DelVecchio and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino as well.
In speaking with Life & Style in May, Pivarnick admitted to entering the "smush room" with all three gents. She additionally ranked the Jersey Shore men's bedroom skills, placing DelVecchio as first and Sorrentino last.
"Pauly is just, like, the nicest one and he's the hottest one, I would think," Pivarnick explained to Life & Style. "Vinny's from Staten Island, so I like that. Me and him went the furthest, even though I don't remember it...I like Mike now as opposed to years ago. He still is my number three, unfortunately."
Unlike Pivarnick's time with Guadagnino, the network failed to give fans a glimpse into her brief flings with DelVecchio and Sorrentino. DelVecchio did, however, admit to hooking up with Pivarnick.
"I don't brag about it," DelVecchio told Us Weekly in 2010. "It happened. It was a while ago. On to the next one—that's how I am."
