'Jersey Shore' Star Jenni 'JWoww' Farley Ties the Knot with Zack Carpinello in Surprise New Jersey Wedding
Reality television star Jenni "JWoww" Farley has officially married her long-time partner, professional wrestler Zack Clayton Carpinello, pulling off a stunning surprise wedding over the weekend. The Jersey Shore alumna invited approximately 50 of her closest friends and family members to what they believed was an exclusive screening of her upcoming film project, Nanny Cam. Instead, guests who arrived at the Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, New Jersey, were greeted with a beautifully orchestrated ceremony, catching even their nearest and dearest completely off guard.
The elaborate ruse allowed the couple to maintain ultimate privacy while sharing their special day with an intimate circle. According to sources close to the event, the venue was transformed from a simulated film premiere reception into an elegant, romantic chapel setting just as the event got underway. "Everyone thought they were there to support Jenni's latest career milestone," an insider shared. "The moment they realized it was actually a wedding, the room was filled with tears and applause. It was incredibly intimate and perfectly represented who they are as a couple."
Farley, 38, and Carpinello, 29, began dating in 2019 following Farley’s highly publicized divorce from Roger Mathews, with whom she shares two children, Meilani and Greyson. Carpinello, a professional wrestler who has made several appearances on MTV's Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, proposed to Farley in February 2021 on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building. Despite a three-year engagement during which fans frequently questioned when they would officially tie the knot, the couple chose a low-key, highly personalized approach over a massive, heavily publicized celebrity affair.
Representatives for the couple confirmed that Farley's children played central roles in the surprise ceremony, highlighting the tight-knit family dynamic that has been a focal point of Farley's life in recent years. While the surprise nuptials mark a new chapter for the reality icon, fans of the long-running MTV franchise can likely expect to see glimpses of the preparation—and the reactions of her famous castmates—in upcoming episodes of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
