Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick and Chris Larangeira Divorce, Affair: Everything We Know

First Divorce Filing

Angelina filed for divorce from Chris in January 2021, a representative from Middlesex County Family Court in New Jersey confirmed to In Touch in July of that year.

She acknowledged the big step toward ending their relationship while speaking with Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino during a 2021 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which was filmed months earlier in late 2020. Angelina admitted she had not served Chris with the papers yet at the time, though revealed he had moved out of their home weeks earlier.

“We got into a fight, and he moved in with his mother, and it’s been a few weeks now,” she told producers during a June 2021 episode. “Chris leaving and taking down his stocking, ripping up his ‘Merry Christmas to my wife’ card, he wanted to see that card ripped up. He wanted to see that stocking gone. Chris wanted me to see all of his clothes gone. For him to do that to me over a fight is just not fair.”

Angelina added she “had to hire a lawyer because s–t started hitting the fan” between the pair. “I didn’t want to hire a lawyer, but I felt like I needed to. He hired a lawyer. He blocked me. He won’t talk to me,” she explained.

Back Together

Angelina and Chris confirmed that they reconciled and were giving their relationship another chance when they attended the MTV Movie and TV Awards together on June 16, 2021.

The TV personality also publicly wished Chris a happy birthday via Instagram in early June.

Chris’ Cheating Rumors

Both Angelina and Chris have been accused of cheating during their marriage. During a 2021 episode of the MTV show, Angelina claimed to Jenni that Chris had been caught hanging out with a 22-year-old woman at a bar.

The former EMT admitted to installing a tracking system on Chris’ car. She then learned that he spent close to 11 hours in a hotel room with his friend and two women. “He said nothing happened in the room,” Angelina told Jenni. “He never takes accountability for his actions. He’s saying that nothing happened. He said that he literally slept on one bed with his guy friend and those two girls slept on another.”

Angelina’s Cheating Allegations

Meanwhile, Angelina has also been accused of being unfaithful to her ex-husband. Her Jersey Shore castmates have accused her of cheating on Chris in previous seasons, though she always claimed to be faithful to him.

“Angelina has been going to her neighbor’s house and Angelina keeps parking in the spot in front of her house and she is allegedly cheating on her husband with this girl’s neighbor,” Mike’s wife, Lauren Sorrentino, told the group about claims she learned from a family member.

The drama will continue to unfold during part 2 of season 5. In a teaser clip for upcoming episodes, Mike called Angelina a “cheater.” The clip was followed by a heated argument where the guido claimed she had “multiple side pieces” during her marriage to Chris.

“This season is definitely a lot messier than I would like,” Mike exclusively told In Touch of what to expect on the extended fifth season. “But at the same time, if anyone in the group’s decisions start to bleed into our life and make our life messy, that’s when I’m gonna call you out.”

Second Divorce Filing

Chris filed for divorce from Angelina again in January 2022, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind their split.

The breakup seems to be official, as the exes have not publicly reconciled since the divorce filing.

Confirming her Single Status

Angelina took to TikTok on May 9 to declare that she’s back on the dating scene. In the clip, the All Star Shore star rested in bed as she mouthed along to a voiceover of a woman asking, “What are the features that you’re bringing to the table?” A man replied, “Well, I just look like I f–k.”

The reality star made a shocked face as she nodded along to the man’s comments. “When you are on reality tv and try going into the dating world again,” text on the screen read.

More Marital Issues

Angelina further opened up about their marital problems during the June 23 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

During the episode, Angelina prepared to leave town to film All Star Shore. She revealed that she got into a heated argument with Chris before flying to Spain to film the Paramount+ show.

“As he was walking out of the room, he’s like, ‘F–k you, b—h, I hope you f–king die in a plane crash’ … knowing I was going to Spain,” Angelina revealed. “This is not a f–king marriage. He doesn’t communicate with me. He doesn’t even show me attention. I have to take this opportunity for myself.”

When Angelina returned home from filming, she discovered that Chris had moved out of their house. “Chris abandoned me the first time around [in early 2021] and that reminded me of my father. Nobody deserves this s–t. Last year, I filed for divorce, and I knew what I had to do, but I didn’t do it,” Angelina told her sister, Alyssa Pivarnick, in December. “ I’ve been feeling alone in this marriage for a long time, but I didn’t want to throw in the towel. I thought things were gonna change and they didn’t change. They actually got worse. I’m ready for this divorce.”

She then revealed she planned to get over Chris by spending New Year’s Eve with her All Star Shore castmate, Luis “Potro” Caballero. “Luis is a guy that gave me some attention in Spain,” Angelina explained. “He’d say, ‘You’re beautiful, wow, Angelina, you look pretty tonight.’ I felt like a woman again. I was shocked. I still am shocked because I haven’t had that in a long time.”

The TV personality later dropped the bombshell that she and Chris only had sex once during their two-year marriage.

The Truth Comes Out

It was revealed on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in June 2022 that Angelina and Luis hooked up while filming All Star Shore. Angelina explained to costar Deena Cortese that the Acapulco Shore alum made her “feel special,” adding, “Something I haven’t felt in a long time.”

Deena later asked Luis during a FaceTime call if he and Angelina had sex. “I have a bad connection now,” he joked. “It’s not called sex it’s making love.”
