Yeah, buddy — now this is what we call a true family reunion.

Jersey Shore alum Sammi Giancola, aka “Sammi Sweetheart,” is returning to the MTV reality franchise for the first time in more than a decade, joining her former housemates on the new season of Jersey Shore Family Vacation, a new trailer reveals.

Sammi was one of the eight original cast members when Jersey Shore debuted on MTV in 2009, becoming a worldwide phenomenon. Sammi’s time on the show was best known for her infamously volatile relationship with castmate Ronnie, with their vicious screaming matches becoming a staple of the show’s original six-season run. When that run ended in 2012, Sammi stepped away from all things Shore, announcing in 2018 that she would not return for follow-up series Family Vacation because she was “focusing on my businesses and relationship” and avoiding “potentially toxic relationships.”
