Jersey Shore star Pauly D and his longtime girlfriend, Nikki Hall, are engaged.
After six years together, the 46-year-old MTV personality proposed to the 34-year-old influencer during his DJ set at Omnia Dayclub in Las Vegas. Video captured the emotional moment Hall said “yes.”
During the performance, Pauly invited Hall onto the stage before getting down on one knee. The surprise proposal sent the crowd into a frenzy of cheers and screams.
Clearly stunned, Hall covered her face with both hands before accepting the proposal as Bruno Mars’ “Marry You” played over the speakers.
Pauly then presented Hall with a large diamond engagement ring, which she proudly showed off to her Instagram followers.
“We’ve spent these years choosing each other, growing together, building a life we love, and never rushing a chapter just because the world was ready to read it,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post.

“No pressure. No timeline. Just ours — and God’s. & as always, His timing was perfect.”
“The easiest YES I’ve ever said @djpaulyd.”
Pauly celebrated the news in the comments, writing: “She said yesssssss!!!!!”
Pauly D first met Hall, an influencer, on the inaugural season of Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D & Vinny. The 2019 dating show featured Hall competing against 19 other women for the DJ’s heart.
Although they briefly split, the couple later reunited, and Hall joined Pauly on the fourth season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
To mark their one-year anniversary, Pauly gave Hall the code to his home’s ring camera, describing the gesture as a “huge step” in their relationship.
“This last year with Nikki, it’s meant the world to me,” he said in a confessional.
“I realized that she was the one and sometimes you just can’t look for it, it’s supposed to happen and that’s what happened.”
“Giving a girl a ring code is a huge step in a relationship,” he explained. “Now she sees the world how I see it — through my doorbell.”

Their relationship continued to deepen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘The pandemic gave us a chance to focus on our relationship,’ he told People in October 2021. ‘And we were able to actually film, too. It’s cool to bring her along because she’s friends with my Jersey Shore family as well now, and their family.
‘So it’s been great. It’s been a good time, and we’re just taking it day by day. We’re happy.’
Even Snooki has noticed the impact Hall has had on Pauly, telling Life & Style last year that the influencer has been a positive influence on her castmate.
‘I like when Nikki’s around, Pauly’s more himself,’ Snooki told Life & Style last year. ‘And he just seems happy. Like genuinely happy.’
‘We love NIkki,’ she added. ‘Nikki’s great.’
