Angelina has gone through some rough circumstances in the past several years, including a divorce from Chris Larangeira in 2022.
In recent years, she met Vinny Tortorella, and he proposed to her on Family Vacation. However, their relationship also hit a rough spot, including Angelina’s arrest for a domestic incident that it’s believed involved Tortorella at her home.
Angelina had a bittersweet first time meeting with her biological father, as it ultimately turned out that once he realized who she was, he continued to request money from her for various things.
She’s also had drama with multiple castmates, including Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola.
