Paul DelVecchio, publicly known as DJ Pauly D, is an American television personality and disc jockey. In 2009, DelVecchio became an overnight sensation when MTV aired their first season of Jersey Shore. The show went on to become one of the highest rated shows in reality TV history and continued for an additional five seasons. DelVecchio was offered his own show in 2011, which aired the following year under the name The Pauly D Project and explored his career as a DJ. Unfortunately, his solo reality show wasn’t renewed for another season, but DelVecchio has maintained success in the music industry and is even signed to G-Unit Records. Most recently, the DJ has returned to reality TV as a cast member on E!’s Famously Single.
In 2013, the reality TV star announced that he would be expecting his first child with Amanda Markert, a Hooters waitress that he had a one night stand with. That May, DelVecchio’s daughter, Amabella Sophia was born. Since the celebrity baby’s birth, the DJ has motioned for custody and stated that the mother of his child was unfit for the role. The pair has worked out a temporary custody agreement where DelVecchio is allowed to visit, but only time will tell how long this agreement will last. Baby drama aside, DelVecchio is currently in a happy celebrity relationship with Famously Single co-star Aubrey O’Day.
