It’s a girl for Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino!
The Jersey Shore star is loving life with a new baby after some difficult years due to addiction, homelessness and an 8 month stint in jail!
The Situation
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino burst onto the scene in 2009 with Snooki, Vinny, and the rest of the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore.
The popular reality series ran for six seasons and inspired several spin-offs like Snooki & Jwoww and Double Shot of Love.
Currently starring on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Sorrentino is happy to be healthy, working, and enjoying life with his wife Lauren. It has been a crazy ride for the muscular reality star though, full of amazing ups and dramatic downs.
Jersey Shore star goes to jail
The lowest of the low for The Situation came when the government caught on to his tax fraud scheme.
In 2014 he, along with his brother Marc, were indicted for conspiring to defraud the United States government for allegedly failing to pay taxes on almost $9 million in income between 2010-2012. In 2018, (Sorrentino) pled guilty to one count of tax evasion and then served an eight-month prison sentence.

After jail, the star had trouble getting back on his feet. Sorrentino battled an addiction to prescription painkillers which led him to become broke and homeless.
