How Pauly D Proposed to Nikki Hall
The proposal took place during a regular Sunday afternoon DJ set, and Hall had no idea it was about to happen.

He then moved her to the other side, took her hand and got down on one knee as Bruno Mars’ “Marry Me” began playing.

Pauly D then announced through the microphone that she had said yes, according to Just Jared. OMNIA Dayclub also congratulated the couple online, captioning its post, “Things just got serious…”

After the proposal, the celebrations continued in the couple’s hotel room.
Pauly D shared a video of the room on Instagram Stories, according to PEOPLE. Rose petals were spread across the floor, two heart-shaped flower displays stood in the corner, and red balloons were placed beside a table. Hall also shared a black-and-white photo of her diamond ring, with Pauly D smiling behind the DJ booth.
How Pauly D and Nikki Met
Their relationship began on television, although it did not have a happy ending at first. The pair met in 2019 on the Jersey Shore spin-off Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D and Vinny, which also featured Vinny Guadagnino. Hall reached the season one finale, but Pauly D ultimately decided to remain single.
That was not the end of their story. Hall returned for season two in 2020, and the pair began dating and quarantined together that year, according to PEOPLE. Six years later, they are now engaged.
Their relationship has not always been smooth, and the couple have been open about the challenges they have faced.
Their Relationship Through the Years
Pauly D and Hall have kept much of their relationship private, although viewers of Jersey Shore Family Vacation have seen their relationship develop over time. During a July 2025 episode, a five-year anniversary dinner on a beach in Jamaica, Hall’s home country, ended without a proposal. Instead, the couple decided to continue their relationship as it was.
“We’ve come a long way since Double Shot,” Pauly D said at the time. His comment referred to the fact that his first attempt at finding romance on the show had not worked out.
The couple also went through a difficult period that was teased in a November 2024 episode preview. Now, after Sunday’s proposal, the long wait is over.
Hall, meanwhile, said they never rushed any part of their relationship and that the timing felt right, according to PEOPLE. “No pressure. No timeline. Just ours,” she wrote on Instagram. Her heartfelt message suggests that the couple allowed their relationship to develop naturally rather than feeling pressured to get engaged.
Family, Fans and Castmates React
The Jersey Shore family was quick to react to the engagement. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino commented “Congratulations” on OMNIA’s post, according to E! News. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi responded with two clapping emojis, while Jenni “JWoww” Farley shared a series of heart emojis.
Hall has also developed a close bond with Pauly D’s daughter, Amabella, whom he shares with his ex Amanda Markert. “She’s just a mini-me,” Pauly D told PEOPLE in 2023 when discussing the relationship between Hall and Amabella. The glimpse into their family dynamic suggests that this connection is one of the reasons the engagement feels like a natural next step.
