Jenni “Jwoww” Farley is about to fist-pump down the aisle for the second time.
The Jersey Shore Family Vacation star announced on Tuesday that she is officially engaged to her boyfriend, Zack Clayton Carpinello. The proposal took place in New York City last month.
“On 2.27 I said yes on the top of the Empire State Building,” Jenni captioned a photo of her kissing Zack (while also flashing her new engagement ring). In another photo, the couple is shown drinking champagne and looking out over the city.

“You’re my forever,” Zack wrote in the comment section of Jenni’s post.
Zack and Jenni started dating in the spring of 2019 (when Zack was only 24 years old and Jenni was 33). Jenni’s ‘Jersey Shore’ roommates referred to Zack as “24” due to his age. The relationship started while Jenni was still in the midst of her divorce from her first husband Roger Mathews. (Their divorce was finalized in September 2019, but they seem to get along decently while co-parenting their two children.)
Jenni and “24” have had plenty of ups and downs, with one of the “downs” being when they split in the fall of 2019 after Zack was shown on an episode of ‘Jersey Shore Family Vacation’ getting close to and flirting with Jenni’s co-star Angelina Pivarnick.
“For 5 months I was kept in the dark about this,” she continued. “For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. My heart hurts on so many levels. One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards.”
Zack eventually publicly apologized to Angelina and Jenni, and he and Jenni reconciled.

Anyway, Jenni and Zack received plenty of congratulatory messages from Jenni’s ‘Jersey Shore’ and their families.
“Love you guys so much,” Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi wrote.
“Congratulations!” Sammi Giancola wrote.
Even Zack’s mom expressed her joy over the engagement.
“We are so happy to officially welcome you and the kids to our family. We love you all very much,” she wrote in the comment section of Jenni’s post.
Roger has not yet commented publicly on Jenni’s engagement.

This will be a big mistake
The only people on this “Family Vacation” show that I can stand are Mike and Lauren.
He needs a paycheck. I don’t see her continuing to get one. She is stupid and has always been desperate while trying to appear strong. Nothing authentic about her and I don’t just mean her looks (she looks awful btw). Also, he will cheat. He’s already proven that.
UHG! I can’t stand the sight of him and that stupid grin and slit eyes. He’s creepy.
Ugh, cant stand this craddle robbing biatch!!!!!
Oops….that ‘know your value….don’t lower your standards’ didn’t age well!
Has this woman ever been single? She seems very clingy.
Right? This just seems so fast. Like is the ink even dry from the first divorce?
And this guy is sleazy. Does she really see him as a partner, helping raise her kids?
