Pauly D was there to celebrate his 10-year-old daughter’s birthday — despite rarely giving fans any glimpses into his life as a father.

In photos obtained by an MTV fan account, the “Jersey Shore” star can be seen embracing his daughter, Amabella — whom he welcomed in 2013 with former waitress Amanda Markert — at her birthday party.

Pauly, who wore a floral purple shirt to the event, posed for photos with the pre-teen while holding up a custom cake with the number “10” written on the front.

It appears the DJ even brought his girlfriend, Nikki Hall, along for the big day, as the couple smiled for photos alongside Amabella and Markert.

Although the exes seem to be on good terms now, they were engrossed in a lengthy custody battle after the DJ claimed Markert was unfit to be a mother.

Despite Pauly D requesting full custody at the time, the pair eventually came to an agreement that Markert would be the primary caregiver.

While Pauly chooses to keep his daughter out of the spotlight, the reality TV star once said that becoming a father was one of the best things to ever happen to him.

“Having kids is one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life,” he said while on the dating competition series “Double Shot At Love.”

“It’s the first time I ever loved somebody more than myself. That girl is my everything and there are two most important ladies in my life — my mother and my daughter. And I’m looking for a third.”

He also previously told People that Amabella was his “little mini-me.”

“She’s 4 years old. She’s my life. She’s my princess. She’s a little mini-me,” he told the outlet in 2018.

“She wants to be a DJ — I got her a DJ room. She’s scratching records already. She’s so funny. She just wants to follow me around and do every single thing that I do,” he added.
