Jersey Shore: Family Vacation[]
Season 3[]
Jenni mentions having a new man and that they have sex a lot. She also says he is only 24 years old. He comes to Vegas to meet the roommates and he gets off the wrong foot with Angelina. He asks several questions about her sex life and why she and her fiancé don’t pound it out. Angelina gets offended over this as she just met him and felt he was overstepping her boundaries. They all go out to a club where the girls get wasted and Vinny joins them after his show. Jenni passes out between Zack's legs. He grabs Angelina's side and touches her side and butt. Vinny witnesses this, while Deena is too drunk to notice. At some point, he kisses Jenni and Angelina jokingly kisses his cheek at the same time. Back at the hotel, Angelina notices that Zack and Jenni are in the room together and knocks. She jokingly asks for a threesome and starts coming in, only to turn around and leave.
When everyone gets home, Zack tells Jenni that Angelina kissed him, while Angelina tells her fiancé that Zack grabbed her. Jenni doesn't believe Angelina at all, immediately accusing her of lying, being a whore, and deflecting. Zack and Jenni attend Deena's son, CJ's, baptism. While things are tense, they stay under the radar out of respect for the event.
Ultimately, it erupts between the girls at the next family vacation. They almost get violent at one point. Ultimately, Angelina has a problem with Zack crossing boundaries in Vegas. Jenni reveals that Angelina sat on FaceTime during the earlier Vegas trip with Lauren and talked to Zack for 45-minutes about sex. Jenni's been with him for six months and he's never disrespected her. Jenni says they considered the threesome a joke, despite saying earlier she had a problem with it. The girls eventually make up and decide to let it go. A few months later, Nicole brings a psychic around the house who tells them the relationship between Jenni and 24 won't work out because of travel. Deena worries because he's trying to become a WWE star which means more travel. When Jenni finds out, she's not surprised because she just had a similar conversation with him about that earlier. Zack visits the house to pick up Jenni and meets Mike.
Two weeks later, the episode where Zack dances with Angelina airs, causing a huge blowout on social media between Jenni and Angelina. Jenni breaks up with 24 as she's embarrassed by his actions, upset he didn't do anything to help her when she was drunk, lied about what happened, could hide his true nature for months, and created all the drama between Jenni and her friends. It's revealed that he had moved into her home so she had to ask him to leave.
