Angelina, 36, confirmed the exciting news in a tweet on Thursday.
The proposal was captured by MTV’s cameras on the latest episode of Jersey Shore.
On Twitter, the reality star wrote: “OHHHH YES GUYS,” alongside several engagement ring emojis.
A short time later, she sent another tweet that read: “Thanks for watching everyone! We love you all! We are both sooo thankful for all the love and congratulations we are reading! See u all next week.”
FAN BACKLASH
Viewers flocked to Twitter to share their reactions to Angelina and Vinny’s engagement.
While many were happy for her, there were a lot of critical tweets too.
One critic wrote: “Angelina was celibate in her marriage longer than she’s been with this guy!”
Another tweeted: “Angelina is my fave but I dont blame Jenny one iota for being confused about Vinny 2.0. Just two months back she wanted Vinny G and now she’s getting engaged, wut? A real friend would be concerned.”
During the episode, Jenni JWoww Farley expressed concern about the quick engagement.
Angelina had shown interest in co-star Vinny Guadanigno that same season.
Some fans even thought Jersey Shore’s Vinny was “jealous” of Angelina’s man.
A third viewer wrote: “Hadn’t Angelina & Vinny #2 only been together like a month at the point of the engagement??”
LOVE AGAIN
Vinny is the first public relationship Angelina has had since she divorced her ex-husband Chris Larangeira in May 2022.
The Staten Island, New York native confirmed the romance to her co-stars in a September 2022 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
She and Vinny met on Instagram.

While their relationship was going strong, he did not appear on the reality series until season six.
Early in that season, Angelina revealed that they were “getting a little bit more serious.”
She said on the show in March: “Things have been heating up between us and we’re definitely moving along in our relationship. He’s from Staten Island and yes, his name is Vinny. What are the f**king odds of that.”
About a month later, she suggested that things had gotten even more serious between them as she invited him on a cast trip.
Angelina and Chris tied the knot in November 2019.
They had been dating for three years at the time.
Chris filed for divorce for the first time in January 2021.
They reconciled in September but Angelina revealed in January 2022 that she and Chris were working on their relationship.
Chris filed for divorce again a few weeks later and the split was finalized in May 2022.
ENGAGEMENT BUZZ
In November 2022, rumors began swirling that Angelina was headed for marriage once more.
A TikTok video from Saturday showed the Jersey Shore crew filming in New Orleans where it appeared Angelina was proposed to by a handsome mystery man.
The MTV stars were seen walking into Sofia Restaurant while the person filming the TikTok video was seated at a table outside the restaurant against a window with a full view of the cast and crew.
While the cast was seated for the meal which looked to be in celebration of Vinny Guadagnino’s 35th birthday, the mystery man who seemed to have been filming with them throughout their time in New Orleans dropped down to one knee and lifted what appeared to be a small box in Angelina’s direction.
The newly single reality star looked shocked, as did all of her fellow castmates, with Vinny ripping off his birthday boy sash and quickly pulling out his phone to document the moment himself.
While it seemed everyone at the table, including the person filming the TikTok believed that Angelina was really being proposed to, fans thought at the time that it was unlikely that the star wouild be walking down the aisle so soon.
“It was a prank! Angelina did not actually get engaged in New Orleans,” an insider revealed.
Viewers now know, however, that the proposal was real.
