Jersey Shore's Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi posts rare photo of husband Jionni LaValle after fans believe

JERSEY Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi posted a rare photo of husband Jionni Lavalle on Instagram.

The snap comes after fans suspected the couple had secretly split.

The 33-year-old took to Instagram on Friday to share a selfie with Jionni, 34.

Both Snooki and Jionni wore face masks in the snap, while the MTV star rocked a full face of makeup and completed the look with a white baseball cap that featured Mickey Mouse on it.

The TV personality wrote in the caption, joking about her beloved stuffed animal from Jersey Shore: '“He’s like crocadilly, but alive. '🐊❤️"

The couple- who tied the knot in 2014- share three children together: Lorenzo, eight, Giovanna, six, and Angelo, one.

While the mother is best known for starring on MTV's Jersey Shore, she recently stepped away from the show's revival in order to spend more time with her kids.

Snooki's recent post comes after fans speculated that she and Jionni had quietly split.

Fans took to social media to express their concern over their relationship status when many people noticed Jionni rarely appears on her social media.

Snooki squashed the rumors after fans caught her not wearing her wedding ring.

Back in January, Snooki took to her Instagram Stories to set the record straight about her marital status.

In a black and white selfie video, Snooki said: “I just read some conspiracy theories about myself from fans noticing that I don’t wear my wedding rings anymore.

“I do this all day. I’m a mother of three. I don’t need to be wearing the ring around the house or to run and go get Starbucks."

She added with a serious tone: “It’s just not my thing."

The TV personality went on to explain her reasoning: “I also don’t want to lose it. 

“I’m one of those a**holes that if I wore it 24/7, it would fall off in Walmart while I’m getting Gatorade, so it’s not happening.” 

She also shared that Jionni rarely wears his wedding ring either, though it doesn't bother her.

Snooki continued: “Jionni hardly wears his ring either. Obviously I have my rings, they’re here - they’re in the bathroom.
