Jersey Shore’s Ronnie reveals his newborn daughter’s name with the sweetest story

How cute.

Jersey Shore’s Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and his girlfriend Jen Harley welcomed their first child, a baby girl, earlier this month.

And two weeks after the newborn’s arrival, the proud dad has revealed the seriously sweet backstory to her name.

According to Us Weekly, the baby’s name is Arianna Sky – and it was a name that they had decided on a long time ago.

He explained:

“When we first started dating in the beginning, we’d joke around saying, ‘What if we had a kid? It’d be crazy and good looking!’

“And we’d say ‘What would we name it?’ We joked that we liked Ariana’.

“When she found out she was pregnant, we looked at each other and we’re like, ‘Guess we’re naming the baby Ariana if it’s a girl.’

“Next thing you know, we find out the gender and we’re like, ‘Guess so!’”

The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star revealed on Christmas eve that they were expecting their first child.

The couple began dating early last year after Ronnie split from Malika Haqq, his costar on Famously Single, in February.

And following the news that Jersey Shore: Family Vacation has been commissioned for a second series, it looks like Ronnie won’t be the only parent in the house.

Three of the Jersey Shore stars – Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, Paul ‘Pauly D’ Delvecchio and Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley – have become parents since the show wrapped in 2012.
