Are JWoww and Zack Carpinello still together?
Yes, JWoww and Zack are still together. While they have yet to walk down the aisle, their relationship is going strong.
In April, Zack posted pictures with his fiancee on Instagram and captioned it, “I’ve had a pretty hot date the last few nights. I think I’ll keep her around.” In her own recent photo dump, JWoww posted several photos with Zack and wrote, “Couldn’t choose one , so I choose them all just like I’d choose you in every life @zackclayton.”
When are JWoww and Zack Carpinello getting married?
JWoww and Zack have not publicized their wedding date. In fact, they may never even walk down the aisle. She told E! in 2024 that Goldie Hawn “got it right” by never marrying Kurt Russell, despite being together for decades.
“If you remove the paperwork aspect and you just have love, I feel like it makes it so much easier,” JWoww explained. “Removing that paperwork, it’s like you’re just with each other because you just want to be with each other, and there’s nothing getting in the way of that.”

In 2025, she reiterated, “To me, we’re married. He’s my life partner. We’re going to be together forever. I don’t look at marriage as something as significant as it needs to be, because I always say, ‘Don’t fix something that’s not broken.’ We’re just perfect.”
How did JWoww and Zack Carpinello meet?
The first time JWoww and Zack met was actually at her wedding to her first husband, Roger Mathews, in 2015. “He is one of my best friends’ brothers, so my one of my best friends didn’t have a date for my wedding, and she brought her brother,” JWoww explained in a 2019 interview.
Zack added, “We kept in touch. Nothing more than just keeping in simple touch.” But then, in 2019, “We were in Disney for my birthday and he lives down there and my girlfriend was like, ‘You should hit up my brother and go out.'” JWoww shared. “Since he’s been part of the inner circle and friends I was like, ‘Sure, why not!” The rest is history!
What is JWoww and Zack Carpinello’s age difference?
The couple has a 10-year age difference. Jenni turned 41 in February 2026, while Zack turned 31 two months earlier.
When JWoww first introduced Zack to the rest of her castmates in 2019, he was just 24 years old, which earned him the nickname “24,” since he was so much younger than the rest of the group.
Do JWoww and Zack Carpinello have kids?
No, JWoww and Zack don’t have any children together, but she does have a daughter, Meilani, and son, Grayson, from her marriage to Roger.
While pregnant with Grayson in 2015, JWoww declared that she had no plans to carry another child. “I am so done with pregnancy,” she revealed. However, she said at the time she would consider adoption.
On an episode of Jersey Shore in 2021, JWoww told her castmates that she doesn’t want more kids and insisted Zack felt the same. “Zack doesn’t want one more than I don’t want one,” she shared.
