WHEN Jersey Shore premiered in 2009, Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola became popular among reality television audiences.
After Sammi did not return alongside Snooki, Angelina, Pauly D, and Mike the Situation for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, fans wondered what she’s been up to in lieu of TV.
What is Sammi Giancola from Jersey Shore doing now?
Since Jersey Shore ended after its six-season run in 2012, Sammi has focused on other aspects of life.
The New Jersey native still lives in the Garden State and launched and runs her own online clothing and accessory brand, Sweetheart Styles.
She often advertises her brand’s jewelry and home goods on her Instagram page.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Sammi’s net worth is an estimated $4million.
From 2015 to 2017, Sammi co-hosted the Just Sayin’ podcast with relationship specialist and RHONJ alum Siggy Flicker and TV host Clare Galterio.
In June 2021, the Jersey Shore alum launched her clothing boutique and opened its physical location in her native state’s Ocean City.
She shared the news with her YouTube subscribers and stated: “I’ve been coming here to Ocean City, New Jersey since I was a little kid and I thought there couldn’t have been a better place for me to open up a store than here.”

Reality TV fans saw everyone from the initial series come back for new episodes, except for Sammi.
Prior to the revival’s premiere, the former cast member disclosed to viewers that she is not returning for the revived installment of the show.
Months before on Friday, March 30, Sammi said on Instagram: “I have chosen not to join the show this season because I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my business and relationship.
“I am not the same person I was when I was 22. At 31, I am currently extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially toxic situations.”
The reality star-turned-clothing line-owner added: “However, it was a difficult decision as I love my roomies.
“I’ve decided to focus on me, my future, and what truly makes me happy.
“I will forever be grateful to Jersey Shore and everything it has brought to me!”
Despite her absence from the program, she was publicly seen with the girls on several occasions.
In November 2018, she reunited with Snooki, Jenni, and Angelina for Deena’s baby shower with Chris Bruckner.
On April 8, 2020, the Shore girls told InTouch that they drifted apart from Sammi in more recent years.
Deena admitted: “We haven’t spoken to her in a while. She came to my baby shower and she met CJ and then we kind of lost touch.
“We wish her nothing but the best,” Deena said, as Snooki chimed in with “Because we love Sam.”
Jenni echoed similar sentiments and shared: “We do still love her.
“I mean she came from a TV show that she clearly doesn’t want to be a part of anymore.
“So, there’s probably that give and take of having us part of certain … I don’t know. I wish we could talk to her about it.”
