This ‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ Castmate Is Mike Sorrentino’s Ride-or-Die
Despite personal clashes throughout 13 years, one Jersey Shore: Family Vacation castmate has been Mike Sorrentino’s ride-or-die. However, viewers wouldn’t know it after the multitude of nasty moments they’ve shared.
Mike Sorrentino’s ride-or-die isn’t one of his MVP brothers
Of all the cast members who have clashed the most with Mike Sorrentino, it’s Angelina Pivarnick. The relationship between the former flames has been fraught with tension for 13 years.
However personal their attacks get, Angelina remains Mike’s ride-or-die. Their tumultuous relationship always takes a backseat to Angelina’s presence in any major life event in Mike’s life.
Angelina always ensures she’s been there for Mike and his wife Lauren Sorrentino. She attended the opening of Lauren’s store and the baptisms of his three children. Angelina has always been the first to respond to events, even when there’s tension between her and members of the cast.
She supported Mike during his trial and was there to welcome him back after his incarceration. When she had relationship problems with her fiance Vinny, Mike and Lauren were the first people she opened up to.
However, their relationship remains fraught with tension. As friends, they can’t get over when the next shoe will drop and drama will begin.
Angelina and Mike’s issues perhaps stem from the fact that they understand one another. They also had a personal history before the debut of the original Jersey Shore series in 2009.
Angelina Pivarnick had feelings for Mike Sorrentino before ‘Jersey Shore’ aired
On the Feb. 29, 2024, episode of Jersey Shore Family Vacation, Mike said he was able to get Angelina on the original Jersey Shore cast. “In 2008 they called me and asked, ‘Do you know anybody who might be good for the show?’” Mike admitted. “I was like, ‘I might have somebody for you.’”
“What made you think of Angelina out of all your friends?” Nicole Polizzi asked. “We had just dated. We were just chatting,” Mike revealed.
“Sexting,” Angelina corrected Mike. “We said, ‘Alright, we can’t say we know each other,’” Mike continued. “We stayed friends and that’s how (Angelina) ended up on the show.”
“Wait, wait is that why you took such offense to him being in the jacuzzi with randoms?” Jenni Farley asked. Angelina responded, “Yes.”
“It all makes sense now,” Nicole added. “You had feelings.” Jenni said, “The math is mathing. Now I am shook.”
“So you left early because you didn’t want to film with your ex,” asked Pauly DelVecchio, to which Angelina added, “Basically, yes.”
So who has hooked up on ‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation?’
It appears Mike Sorrentino and Angelina Pivarnick weren’t the only friends with benefits in the history of the MTV series. There’s been antics between most of the show’s cast members. Mike admitted, “Yes to Deena, yes to Nicole, to Angelina, to Sammi, and Jenni was like a smooch.”
Deena kissed Vinny, Mike, and Pauly. Jenni made out with Pauly, and “smooched” Mike. Nicole was with Vinny and Mike, and Sammi was in a relationship with Ronnie but briefly dated Mike. Angelina dated Vinny and Mike. The only person who didn’t mess around with anyone else in the house was Ronnie, who stayed true to Sammi unless you count the girls in the club that he cheated on her with.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
