Angelina Pivarnick's biological dad is living in New Jersey.

The Season 7 finale of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” ended with news that Angelina's real dad has been found. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino enlisted the help of Jersey-based genealogist Pamela Slaton to find Angelina's biological dad after a previous DNA test disclosed the man she thought was her dad wasn't her biological father.

Slaton called the roomies as they were winding down a stay at the Orlando Margaritaville resort in April.

“Can you tell me more,” Angelina, 37, asked. “Is he alive?”

“Yah, your birth father is living,” Slaton said.

“That's amazing,” said Angelina, who lives in Freehold Township. “That was a big fear for me, but he's alive.”

Not only is he alive, but he's in Jersey.

“I will come sit down with you and we will go over everything together ... I did find some other people for you as well that I want to tell you about,” Slaton said. “I found your grandmother, still living, and Angelina, you have a half-sister.”

“A half-sis,” exclaimed Angelina. “Oh my God!”

She's “about 26,” Slaton said.

“She's single?” Vinny Guadagnino chimed in.

“You're disgusting,” Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi said.

Angelina's dad is in for a surprise.

“This guy is going to get a ring at his door bell and he's going to answer it and he's going to see a woman holding trash bags saying, ‘Um, hello! I'm your daughter!’ " said Pauly DelVecchio, referring to Angelina's infamous “Jersey Shore” Season 1 entrance.

When the meeting will take place, or if it will take place, was not revealed on Thursday's episode.

"More to unfold in this story next season for sure," said Angelina in an Instagram Story after the episode. "Stay tuned!"

Angelina, a Staten Island native, has two sisters who are biologically connected to her mom and the man she thought was her biological dad.

“I think about the way I was raised and all that stuff in my childhood and I just knew, I felt it for years,” Angelina said. “It makes sense — he knew I wasn't his kid.”

The revelation makes Angelina's beefs with Mike and Jenni “JWoww” Farley seem like petty affairs.

“I deserve this — this is a very happy moment,” said Angelina, who hugged Jenni and had a heart-to-heart with Mike. “This whole thing puts things in perspective and I'm so thankful to everybody for everybody helping me find my dad.”

The moment gave Nicole pause. She was born in Chile and adopted by a couple of from Marlboro, New York.

“It brings emotions up for me because I know how she feels,” said Nicole to Sammi Giancola. “I feel like I don't talk about being adopted a lot … Adopted kids always have this thing like, where are we from? What happened? Why didn't my parents want me?”

Nicole may want to discover her biological past. For now, she'll see how it goes with Angelina.

“The fact that we're not ending with drama and fighting, that's just great,” Nicole said.

Next up is a reunion episode.
