MTV’s mega hit reality show Jersey Shore aired for six seasons from 2009 to 2012.

The series was known for its focus on partying, relationships, and the cast’s unique personalities.
Sammi and Ronnie: The On-Again, Off-Again Couple
Even if you’ve only watched a few episodes of Jersey Shore, you likely picked up on Sam and Ron being a couple throughout the series. They dated on and off for eight years and broke up for good in 2019. Ron had been unfaithful to Sammi multiple times, and during Season 2, Snooki and JWoww wanted to warn Sam that her man had been up to no good, but they didn’t want to ruin their friendship with him. The ladies decided to anonymously write a now-famous letter to Sam on Microsoft Word about his infidelities.
Snooki: From Pauly D to Vinny and Back
Snooki and Pauly D hooked up during Jersey Shore Season 1 but it was an isolated event.

When Vinny wasn’t invited to Snooki’s wedding to Jionni LaValle, many fans thought it was because they had history.
