Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi posted a photo alongside her husband Jionni Lavalle in what she called a "rare sighting." The photo was in celebration of Jionni's birthday. Nicole first met Jionni on the original series of Jersey Shore. The early days of their relationship were portrayed on the show, including some nasty arguments. Jionni was later seen on Nicole's spinoff show, Snooki and JWowwduring which the couple got married and had their first two kids.

Although he was featured on the shows, both Nicole and Jionni have made it known that he does not like being in the spotlight. Jionni opted out of being a part of the spin off series Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. Typically, Nicole struggles to even take a picture with him, which is why he is rarely ever seen on her social media accounts. Because he would never partake in the spin-off show, Nicole ultimately made the decision to leave the franchise to focus on her family.

In celebration of his birthday, Nicole convinced her husband Jionni to take a photo with her. Nicole posted a photo on Instagram with Jionni to wish him a happy birthday.  Their daughter Giovanna joined in for the photo. Nicole wished her "best friend" a happy birthday while describing him as handsome, caring and supportive. She wrote, "We would be lost without you!" One comment pointed out that they had forgotten what Jionni looked like because Nicole never shares photos with him. She replied, joking, "He's a rare sighting." The family of five is celebrating his birthday in Disney World. Giovanna had her Disney gear on, wearing a black Disney mask and a white Minnie Mouse T-shirt.

Nicole posted yet another adorable photo with Jionni the day prior to his birthday. The caption read, "He’s like crocadilly, but alive," which was something she had once said on the show about Jionni. The parents of three smiled under their masks as they stopped for a quick photo session during their Disney trip. The two were ready to explore the theme park, wearing their Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse masks. Nicole also had on a Mickey Mouse baseball hat. The photos looked to have been taking on the same day as they were wearing the same clothing in both.

Nicole and her family are huge fans of Disney World. They tend to take a trip there nearly every year. Although it is assumed that Nicole was not a part of the roommates recent trip to the mountains, she was recently spotted filming lunch with Angelina, sparking speculations that she will soon be returning to Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
