News of Cortese's pregnancy comes less than a month before Jersey Shore Family Vacation returns on Nov. 19.

For the new season, called Jersey Shore "Bring the Family" Vacation, Cortese, Farley, Sorrentino, Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Angelina Pivarnick will be taking over an entire resort, where they will live their "best lives" in their own "Shore" bubble, according to MTV.

Polizzi first announced that she was retiring from the beloved show last December.

At the time, she opened up to PEOPLE about the decision, noting that her TV career is not over yet. "I'm definitely not done with TV. I'm just done with that show," she shared.
