Deena Cortese Is Pregnant With Mini Meatball Number Two

Deena Cortese's family vacation is growing: The Jersey Shore star is pregnant with her second child!


"We’re so excited to announce we’re expecting Baby Buckner #2 May 1, 2021," Deena captioned the Halloween-inspired Instagram album featuring husband Chris Bruckner, their "little pumpkin" CJ and Baby Buckner #2. "Our hearts are filled with so much love and joy! CJ is going to be the perfect big brother ever!!! #Blessed #growingfamily sooo for each person that was asking YES YES YES ..I’m pregnant."


To Deener and Chris!


The MTV cast member, who wed Chris in October 2017, made it no secret throughout Season 1 of Jersey Shore: Family member Vacation that she was "so willing to go residence and make a little bit meatball with my Christopher." A half of Team Meatball reported that she was expecting a baby boy in a July 4th-themed gender reveal in 2018 -- and CJ made his grand-debut in January 2019. And right now, Deena will have a pair of mini meatballs!


Issue your congrats to Deena, Chris and CJ in the comments -- and don't miss the soon-to-be mama of two once Season 4 of Jersey Shore: Family member Vacation starts on November 19!
