‘Jersey Shore’ Star Deena Cortese & Husband Chris Buckner Welcome Second Child: See the First Baby Photos!

“Say hi to our Baby Meatball!”

Some fist pumps are in order for Deena Cortese and her husband Chris Buckner.

The Jersey Shore Family Vacation stars welcomed their second child on Saturday, Deena announced on Instagram. Deena and Chris named their baby boy Cameron Theo Buckner.

He joins the couple’s two-year-old son Chris Jr. (aka CJ). 

“The Buckners are now officially a party of 4,” Deena captioned a series of hospital photos of her and Chris with their baby. “Cameron Theo Buckner was born May 1st at 7:21pm weighing 7 pound 3 ounces and 20 inches long.

“He is such a little angel baby …mommy is feeling well and we are all so beyond happy and we’re bursting out with so much love .. our hearts are full! We can’t wait until he meets his big brother tomorrow!!”

Deena announced her pregnancy in October 2020.

Baby Cameron is the ninth child born to the ‘Jersey Shore’ cast. Deena’s best friend, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and her husband Jionni LaValle have three children together; Jenni “Jwoww” Farley has two children with her ex-husband Roger Mathews; Ronnie Ortiz-Magro has a daughter with former girlfriend Jen Harley; and Pauly D fathered a daughter in 2013 with a Vegas cocktail waitress. 

The Buckners received plenty of well wishes from their ‘Jersey Shore’ pals.

“Congrats my meatball!” Nicole wrote. “Can’t wait to meet my baby!! Love you both so much.”

“Congrats love. Party of four,” Angelina Pivarnick wrote. “Congrats Chris.”

“Congrats guys!!!! Can’t Wait to meet the new addition to the fam,” Pauly wrote.

There will soon be another addition to the next generation of ‘Jersey Shore’ kids. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his wife Lauren are expecting a baby boy later this month.

Lauren also left a sweet comment to welcome Deena and Chris’ baby boy.

“Congratulations!!! I can’t wait to hold this little guy! Beautiful family!” she wrote in the comment section of Deena’s post.

  1. As much as Deena annoyed me when watching the show, motherhood looks good on her, and her little family is super cute!


  2. Deena is so cute pregnant. Another little meatball. She is giving off major Chelsea Houska vibes in the top photo.
