Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola has the perfect partner by her side.
The Nov. 21 episode of Jersey Shore Family Vacation chronicled the 37-year-old’s engagement to fiancé Justin May, however it was a time full of both happy and heart-rending moments, as the couple learned they were no longer pregnant after a failed round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) just before Justin popped the question.
As she explained in a confessional, Sammi had become pregnant, however the embryo ultimately didn’t take, causing a miscarriage.
“This has been a very long process, it’s been a lot of shots, it’s been a lot of hormones,” she tearfully told the camera. “Just the thought of even being pregnant was such a magical moment for me, and just to have that taken away—it’s devastating for me.”
Yet Justin was the perfect support system, Sammi revealed, willing to take a break from the fertility treatments for as long as she wanted.
