New Jersey, USA (AP) — Reality TV star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, known for his role in “Jersey Shore,” recently shared a terrifying incident that occurred in his home. Sorrentino took to Instagram to reveal that his two-year-old son, Romeo, choked on a piece of pasta while the family was having dinner. The footage from their Ring camera captured the scary incident as Sorrentino and his wife, Lauren, quickly intervened to dislodge the food from their son’s throat. The 41-year-old reality star described it as “the scariest moment of our lives” in his Instagram post, expressing his pride in how he and his wife handled the situation calmly to save their son’s life.
In the post, Sorrentino also mentioned that they are going to take CPR lessons after this incident and are refraining from giving Romeo his favorite gnocchi for the time being. This incident comes at a time when the couple is expecting their third child, as they announced in September 2023. They currently have a two-year-old son, Romeo, and a one-year-old daughter, Mia Bella, born in 2021 and 2023, respectively. Sorrentino, who married Lauren in November 2018, has been open about his journey to parenthood, sharing the joyous moments as well as the challenges.
The couple’s fellow “Jersey Shore” co-stars, such as Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Sammi Giancola, and Jenni “JWoww” Farley, expressed relief and support in the comments section of the post. The terrifying incident serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for emergencies, especially when it comes to young children.
Sorrentino’s transparency about the incident and his commitment to learning CPR may inspire other parents to prioritize safety and preparedness in their own families. As they eagerly await the arrival of their third child, Sorrentino and his wife are continuing to navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood with the support of their loved ones and fans.
