Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola filming ‘Jersey Shore’ with boyfriend Justin May
The sweetest bitch you’ll ever meet is back — with a new man.
Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola was spotted filming “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” with her boyfriend, Justin May, after announcing her return to the MTV franchise.
An eyewitness tells Page Six that the couple dined at Italian restaurant Reggiano’s of Celebration in Kissimmee, Fla., with the reality show’s cast and camera crew in tow Tuesday.
“Sam seemed to fit right back in with the group,” the spy tells us, adding that Giancola “looked really happy” with May, whom she started dating in August 2021 following her broken engagement to Christian Biscardi.
A separate source confirms to Page Six exclusively that the OG “Jersey Shore” star, 36, will discuss her budding romance with the fitness enthusiast, 35, on the series.
“Justin is a big part of Sam’s life, so of course she wants to let viewers in,” the insider says. “He’s gotten along well with the cast.”
Reps for “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
MTV revealed in March that Giancola had joined the spinoff, reuniting her with Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio Jr., Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Deena Nicole Cortese and Angelina Pivarnick for the first time since the original show wrapped in December 2012.
“Okay I can finally say… I’m backkk! ☺️ @jerseyshore #jsfamilyvacation,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

Prior to her return, Giancola had been the only “Jersey Shore” cast member who was not a part of “Family Vacation,” which premiered in April 2018.
She previously blamed her absence on wanting to “avoid potentially toxic situations,” seemingly referencing her tumultuous past relationship with co-star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.
However, now that Ortiz-Magro, 37, has left the show to focus on his mental health and sobriety, Giancola appears to have changed her tune.
“Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
