Vinny Guadagnino thinks Angelina Pivarnick’s current fiancé, Vinny Tortorella, is a “nice guy” — but isn’t sure he’ll stick around for long.
“Just one of Angelina’s fiancés, you know?” Guadagnino says on Pvnew’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, acknowledging his “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” co-star’s four engagements in total.
“They pop up every once in a while, so this was this one.”
Guadagnino, 35, continues facetiously, “We always treat them with respect; usually they treat us with respect, and that was it. So, he’s a nice guy, and maybe in a couple years she’ll trade him out.”
Pivarnick, 37, said “yes” to Tortorella’s proposal shortly after her November 2022 “divorce party” — and as the “Jersey Shore” cast celebrated Guadagnino’s birthday.
The couple kept the news under wraps until it aired in an April episode.
“My best friend, I love you so much, and I just wanted to give you something,” the hunky model said to the MTV personality as he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring in front of her shocked co-stars. “Love you, Ang, and I hope that you’ll marry me.”
An equally surprised Pivarnick eventually replied, “100 times over. Yes, babe!”
Prior to the engagement, Pivarnick and Guadagnino explored a romantic connection that played out on their rebooted reality show, but her new commitment to Tortorella, 34 — known among the cast as “Vinny 2.0” — thwarted any potential with Guadagnino.
Still, it hasn’t halted their unique friendship, the Chippendales stripper assures us.
“You can have different words for flirting, fighting, banter,” he says of his chemistry with Pivarnick.
“But we’re really comfortable with each other. We’ve all known each other for so long, so certain people I have a different dynamic with where I can, like, mess with them, and Angelina’s just, like, my prime target.”
Guadagnino boasts that he knows “how to get under her skin” — and takes advantage of this skill while filming their unscripted series.
“I’m bored when I’m there. I need time to pass,” he says. “So I just know that I get under her skin, she throws something at me and then we call it a day! … It’s so superficial brother-and-sister fighting.”
Pivarnick was previously engaged to David Kovacs in 2011, Anthony Lamberti from 2013 until 2014, Louie Gero from 2016 to 2017 and her ex-husband, Chris Larangeira, whom she married in 2019 and divorced in May.
In June, Larangeira, 46, shared in a lengthy Instagram Story post that he wishes Pivarnick “nothing but the best” as she prepares for another wedding.
“You CAN NOT have resentment if you truly want to heal and better yourself,” he wrote in part, adding that he is “very happy for Angelina and her new fiancé.”
The Staten Island sanitation worker elaborated, “I’ve spoken to her a lot in recent times and I always tell her how happy I am for her.”
“Jersey Shore Family Vacation” Season 6B premieres Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
