Another former Jersey Shore cast member is a parent. Are you surprised? Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi already has one child, a boy named Lorenzo, and she’s very pregnant with her second child, a girl. Pauly D has a love child floating around out there, and now Jenni “J-Woww” Farley has given birth to a baby girl. Jenni didn’t adore being pregnant at all. She “f—ing hated” the experience. It really feels like she’s been pregnant forever, right? She did go past her due date, but the discomfort of carrying around a mini-J-Woww has ended. Jenni was induced yesterday, and now she and grumpy Roger Mathews are parents. They named their daughter Meilani Alexandra Mathews:
Her precious angel has arrived! Jenni “JWoww” Farley gave birth to her first child, a baby girl named Meilani Alexandra Mathews, on Sunday, July 13, Us Weekly can confirm.
“Jenni and Roger are so excited to welcome the newest guidette Meilani Alexandra Mathews to the world weighing 7lbs and 13 ounces,” JWoww’s rep tells Us Weekly. “Meilani and her parents are doing great and are happy and healthy. Meilani is already looking to trade her baby bottle for barbells.”
Farley got her start on MTV’s Jersey Shore before starring on the spin-off series with pal Snooki.
“We’re fist pumping in celebration of Jenni ‘JWOWW’ Farley and Roger Mathews’ new baby girl Meilani Alexandra Mathews,” a rep for MTV told Us in a statement. “We’re so excited for the new parents and to welcome the newest member to the MTV family.”
Farley also enjoyed spending time with pregnant BFF Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi during her pregnancy. “Jenni and I always talked about being pregnant together,” Snooki, who is expecting her second child, told Us in April. “I’m so excited to go through this experience with my best friend!”
Pregnancy wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for Jwoww, however. The reality star admitted on her blog she had a rough first couple of months. “It was the absolute hardest thing I have ever experienced!” Farley wrote in January. “I lost 9 pounds from my first appointment to [the] second! So needless to say, I was super sick and gross. I looked like hell and felt like I had a constant hangover!”

Alexandra is a beautiful name. Is Meilani a variation on Melanie? I don’t know. It is an unusual name, and I guess we should simply be relieved that J-Woww didn’t name her child “Pink Diamond” or “Rhinestone.” Anyone who posts a photo of their uterus on the internet is capable of coming up with a tacky name. Meilani isn’t that bad. J-Woww will probably tell the world how to pronounce it soon. For now, she’s resting up with the new fam. Congrats to Jenni and Roger!

I think Meilani is Hawaiian.
I imagine it’s pronounced meh-lah-knee
Actually I think it’s probably May-lah-knee. Because Leilani (a Hawaiian name I already know) is Lay-lah-knee.
I’ve always loved the name Leilani.
I was watching tv, around two, three in the morning, a few nights ago, and I saw them on this reality show–Marriage Bootcamp (or something like that).
And wow–just ONE episode–I didn’t have a high/good opinion of either of them. She was supposed to be working on fixing her relationship with what’s his face, and kept lying/not taking it seriously. He spent the entire episode (at least 4-5 times) complaining that he knew that she was just f-cking around with it, and that she wasn’t being real. So if she is–then why don’t you LEAVE THE SHOW like you keep threatening to?! Exactly. And with a baby? That poor kid.
Also–how sad is it that on the ‘celebrity’/’reality star’ edition of the marriage bootcamp reality show, the only recognizable celebrity (to me at least) was J-Woww??? I honestly hadn’t even heard the four other couples names…..
Oh, damn. Everyone prepare for “Heirs to The Jersey Shore” or some such horror in a few years. Weight-lifting toddlers who are bright orange and drink juice out of red solo cups. yay.
Hahaha +1
In that top pics looks like she gave birth to Snooki and she’s now presenting her to the world.
jwow really f-cked her face up for good.
yeah i never saw that show and i can even tell she’s all sorts of tweaked in the face
yea it looks painfully puffy. everytime i see her that’s what i think. her poor face. she used to be a pretty girl.
Sounds Hawaiian… Damn…her face is RIDICULOUS!! like I cant believe is the same person
Her face looks like a swollen potato with teletubbies eyes.
She won’t be happy with that face when she’s older.
teletubby eyes. i will never be able to erase that from my brain now when i see pics of her
Apparently it’s a blend of chinese and hawaiian. Mei=beautiful, Lani=heavenly

her face looks insane.
One of the few children who will be able to watch her drunk, busted-weave-wearing mom piss behind a dumpster along the Jersey Shore. I’m sorry, no offense towards the baby girl, but the Jersey Shore chicks are just disgusting to me.
Farley? Mathews? I thought they were Italian-American?
She’s actually Puerto Rican and Irish, if memory serves.
I can’t stand when they say guido/guidette….fist pumping, this and that. It is soooo annoying! But congrats on the baby. I hope she can be a good mother.
I cringed, too.
It means nothing in Hawaiian. “Mei” is the Hawaiian word for the month, May. Lani can mean heaven but Meilani means absolutely nothing. Hawaiian don’t mix other words from other languages to form Hawaiian names, either. Oma means mother in many languages, but Omalani doesn’t mean heavenly mother, not by a long shot.
Hawaiians take the naming of the child seriously, relying on kupuna usually to give the child a meaningful and prophetic name.
While it sounds pretty, it isn’t Hawaiian at all.
Jwoww and her piece aren’t very intelligent people. It’s still possible that THEY think it’s Hawaiian.
Old Greek, English, Welsh.
