‘Jersey Shore’ star Deena Cortese is pregnant, expecting baby No. 2

Deena Cortese and husband Chris Buckner are adding another pumpkin to their patch.

On Sunday, the “Jersey Shore” star, 33, announced the couple is expecting their second child together next spring.

“We’re so excited to announce we’re expecting Baby Buckner #2 May 1, 2021,” Cortese gushed on Instagram. “Our hearts are filled with so much love and joy!”

Cortese added that 1-year-old son CJ — Christopher John — will be “the best big brother ever!!!”

In response to Sunday’s pregnancy reveal, Cortese’s “Jersey Shore” family offered their well-wishes on social media.

“YASSSSS MAWMA❤️🙏🏽 So excited for you!” Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi commented.

“🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 best news,” Jenni “JWoww” Farley wrote.

“Congratulations ❤️💪🏼,” Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino penned.

Cortese and Buckner, who tied the knot in 2017, welcomed CJ early last year. In January, Cortese opened up about her son’s foot condition, metatarsus adductus, which occurs when “the front part of a child’s foot turns inward,” per John Hopkins Medicine.

“He’s had it since he was born but we noticed it at 10 months when he started walking,” Cortese posted to social media at the time. “The doctor says it’s common and we’ve been on top of it.”
