Lorenzo Dominic LaValle Photo: Snooki’s Newborn Son Covers People Magazine
September 5, 2012 by Hollywoodite
There are already paparazzi photos of the top of baby Lorenzo Dominic LaValle’s head, taken as he left the hospital in the arms of his mother and in the company of several MTV production crew. And there are already photos of Snooki postpartum that she posted to Twitter along with a photo of her son’s nursery that she quickly deleted, probably because she promised that exclusive to People Magazine, for whom she covers with her newborn this week.
For what one can assume was a predictably slow news day (if you overlook the death of actor Michael Clarke Duncan), coming out of Labor Day weekend, the reality star covers People’s latest issue. The cover says: “At Home With Baby. Exclusive Photos. Snooki’s Jersey Boy. ‘The Partying Is Long Gone.’ Says the star: ‘I’m A New Person.’”
Just six days after Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and her fiancé Jionni LaValle welcomed their first child, Lorenzo Dominic, they opened their home to People to help introduce him to the world.
“It’s a different kind of love that I never felt before,” says Polizzi, 24, who is currently filming the second season of her MTV spin-off Snooki & JWoww.
It took more than 24 hours of labor, but the pint-sized reality star finally gave birth to her son on Aug. 26. Happily, she and LaValle say that choosing a moniker was much easier.
“We were going back and forth, and I just happened to think of Lorenzo,” says LaValle, 25, who adds that he was inspired by a child he knew from his hometown, where he and Polizzi now live with his parents. “She loved it.”
The baby’s middle name, Dominic, is in memory of Polizzi’s uncle, who died. “I did it for my dad,” she says.
Now, the happy couple are enjoying spending time with their family and of course, their “adorable” son.
“When I got pregnant, everything changed,” says Polizzi, who will also appear on the final season of MTV’s Jersey Shore, premiering Oct. 4. “The partying is long gone. I’m a new person.”
For exclusive photos of Lorenzo, plus details about Polizzi’s delivery, upcoming wedding, weight loss plan and life as a mom, pick up this week’s issue of People, on newsstands Friday. – via People Magazine.
