It was just revealed that Pauly D is a father to a baby girl who is a few months old, and Snooki couldn't be more ecstatic.

According to TMZ, he met the 25-year-old mother of his child in Vegas last year, hooking up one night after one of his Djing gigs.

Pauly said, "I'm proud I'm a father. I am excited to embark on this new part of my life."

He's not the only one who's excited. His Jersey Shore costar Snooki, revealed to US Weekly how she can't wait for her 14-month-old son Lorenzo to have play dates with Pauly's child. "YAY so happy for Pauly!!" she said. "Now Lorenzo has a girlfriend! Pauly will be an amazing father."

Pauly wasn't aware that he was a father until recently. "She contacted him after the baby was born. He of course had to take precautions before believing the baby was his, but he is definitely excited to be a dad," an insider told US Weekly.
