Are ‘Jersey Shore’s Pauly D & Nikki Hall Still Together?
Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio left behind his days of bringing random girls home and dodging grenades when he met Nikki Hall on Double Shot at Love. The Jersey Shore star decided not to pursue a relationship with Hall after Season 1 of the dating show in 2019, but when she returned for Season 2 later that year, he was ready to give their romance a shot.
The two moved in together in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and Nikki began making fairly regular appearances on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. However, she took a noticeable hiatus from the show in 2022 and 2023, leading fans to wonder about the status of their romance.
Nikki eventually returned to the reality show, but she and Pauly have continued to keep most details about their relationship close to the vest. With Jersey Shore: Family Vacation about to return for Season 8, scroll down to find out where they stand now.
Are Pauly D and Nikki Hall still together?
Yes, Pauly and Nikki are still together. In fact, the big cast trip on Season 8 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will feature the group traveling to Jamaica to meet Nikki’s family and learn more about where she’s from.
For the most part, Pauly and Nikki keep their relationship off of social media, but she did post pictures with him after celebrating her birthday in April 2025. The two also made a rare public appearance together to celebrate Jersey Shore’s 15th anniversary in December 2024.
Why did Nikki Hall leave Jersey Shore?
Nikki has not spoken extensively about why she took a break from Jersey Shore, but she did reveal on a TikTok live that her decision was made so she could focus on her “mental health.”
During a Season 5 cast trip to San Diego, which took place in the first half of 2022 and aired later that year, Nikki was caught in the crossfires of a fight between Angelina Pivarnick and Vinny Guadagnino. Angelina accidentally tossed water on Nikki while trying to hit Guadagnino, and Nikki threw it right back at her. The altercation could’ve ended there, but Angelina took things one step further by throwing red wine back in Nikki’s direction.

Things escalated, and although Angelina apologized the next morning and everything seemed to be copacetic, Nikki noticeably wasn’t on the show when it returned in 2023. However, she has never commented on the fan theories that she didn’t want to film with Angelina anymore.
Nikki returned to the show during Part 2 of Season 7, which aired in the fall of 2024.
Do Pauly D and Nikki Hall have kids?
No, they don’t have kids together, but Pauly does have a child with Amanda Markert. While he keeps his daughter, Amabella, out of the public eye, he told People in 2023 that Nikki has met his little girl.
“They love each other, so I’m happy,” he dished. Of their first meeting, he added, “It was great. They were both nervous, which is so funny, but I told them they have nothing to be nervous about.”
Pauly opened up about marriage and kids with Nikki on a 2023 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. He admitted that he “didn’t know” whether their future was headed in that direction, adding, “It does seem like so much pressure. We’re just enjoying the moment and going through that. Whatever happens, happens, I feel. I hate the labels and all that. It’s weird.”
