Jersey Shore star Deena Cortese announces the arrival of baby number two

Jersey Shore star Deena Cortese has announced the arrival of her second child, a baby boy named Cameron Theo Buckner.

The reality star, 34, announced she had given birth to her ‘angel baby’ on Instagram on Sunday, where she posted photos of the infant slumbering in her arms.  

‘The Buckners are now officially a party of 4,’ Deena gushed in the caption. ‘Cameron Theo Buckner was born May 1st at 7:21pm weighing 7 pound 3 ounces and 20 inches long.’

‘He is such a little angel baby .. mommy is feeling well and we are all so beyond happy and we’re bursting out with so much love .. our hearts are full! We can’t wait until he meets his big brother tomorrow!!’  

In the photos, Deena and her husband Christopher Buckner couldn’t have looked any happier bonding with their child.

Images included one of the couple beaming with joy as they posed with the child immediately after the birth, and another of the infant slumbering in his hospital crib.   

Deena and her husband already share two-year-old son Christopher John together.  

The MTV vet announced her pregnancy last year with a Halloween-themed family photo shoot.  

‘We’re so excited to announce we’re expecting Baby Buckner #2,’ wrote Cortese, who added that she is approximately due on May 1 of 2021. 

She continued: ‘Our hearts are filled with so much love and joy! CJ is going to be the best big brother ever!!! #blessed #growingfamily’  

‘sooo for everyone that was asking YES YES YES ..I’m pregnant,’ concluded Cortese, whose pregnancy bliss was evident in the photos shared with her 3.1million followers on Sunday.

For their family photoshoot, Deena sported a graphic tee that had ‘I smell a child,’ which happens to be a direct line from 1993 film Hocus Pocus, written across the front of it.

With shades of orange, black, and purple dominating the setting, the family surrounded themselves with pumpkins, haystacks, and wreaths made of fall toned leaves. 

Attached to one of the pumpkins was Deena’s ultrasound photos, while another listed the baby’s May due date.

Christopher John looked ultra cute in a pair of bright orange leggings covered in bats and ghost and a Halloween inspired tee.

He posed before a sign that read: ‘This little pumpkin is going to be a big brother.’ 

After unveiling her big baby news to the world, Deena was met with a ton of congratulatory messages from friends, family, and fans in her post’s comment section. 

‘YASSSSS MAWMA❤️ So excited for you!’ commented Deena’s best friend and Jersey Shore co-star Snooki excitedly.

Snooki was not the only Jersey Shore alum to send positive messages Deena’s way.

Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino left a ‘Congratulations,’ while his wife Lauren wrote on their behalf: ‘yay!!! We’re so excited for you guys! another little meatball! love you!’

Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley described Deena’s second pregnancy as the ‘best news.’

Deena first appeared on the popular MTV reality series Jersey Shore in 2010 until her departure in 2012.

She did return for the series’ spin-off Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which premiered in 2018 and has run for a total of four seasons on MTV.
