The 'Jersey Shore' TV Star reveals how she raises her two childrenNEED TO KNOW Jenni "JWoww" Farley catches up with PEOPLE about her life as a mom The Jersey Shore TV star reveals she enjoys following her children's passions She talks about the balance of raising Generation Alpha kidsJenni 'JWoww' Farley is sharing some insight on raising her two children. 'I don't know what the hell I'm doing when it comes to parenting,' Farley, 40, admits to PEOPLE during the New Jersey Lottery 'The Shore Thing' event on Thursday, July 17. 'I feel like with every parent, there's always going to be obstacles.' The Jersey Shore reality TV star returned to the show's stomping grounds earlier this month to celebrate National Lottery Day and the 15th anniversary of the MTV series. Farley has two children, Meilani and Greyson, whom she shares with ex Roger Mathews. The reality star is now engaged to professional wrestler Zack Clayton Carpenillo. She revealed in 2018 that her son Greyson was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old after he had trouble communicating. Now at 9 years old, Greyson is a vocal Real Madrid supporter. 'My son loves soccer,' Farley says. 'He eats, breathes and sleeps Christiano Ronaldo.' She reveals her dream as a parent is for him to pursue his passions, even if she's not fully immersed in that world. She adds, 'Thank God I have Zack who understands the sport, because I don't.' Farley and Carpinello met in 2019, and he quickly became part of the group and appeared alongside Farley in multiple episodes of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. He proposed to her in 2021 on the top floor of the Empire State Building. The two recently took Greyson to watch a Club World Cup soccer match at MetLife Stadium, she shared on Instagram. Meilani, 11, is interested in something a little more familiar to Farley: cooking and makeup. However, the TV personality shares that raising kids in the age of social media and the internet can be challenging. The younger generation learns things a lot faster through social media, according to Farley. 'I'm trying to allow her to pursue her passions with food and cooking,' Farley tells PEOPLE. 'I don't want her to grow up too fast, but I also don't want her to burn the kitchen down — I really do love seeing the world through their eyes.' The reality TV star tells PEOPLE her kids love going on set with her because of the fun trips and vacations. She adds, 'Our production company spoils them rotten, but the moment they're like, 'I don't want to do this anymore,' I'll stop.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Jersey Shore's Snooki discovers real reason for her adoption as she speaks to her birth mother for first time
Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi discovered the real reason that she was put up for adoption as an infant while speaking to her birth mother for the first time. The TV personality, 37 - who recently reflected on her 'unplanned' pregnancy while filming Jersey Shore - took part in the emotional moment in Thursday's episode of the MTV reunion series Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. The reality star was adopted from Chile by an Italian-American family when she was just six-months-old, which she has previously opened up about. While speaking to her birth mom through a translator, Snooki - who was joined by castmate JWoww for support - asked: 'Why was I put up for adoption?' According to the translator, her birth mother 'said when she realized she was pregnant, she told her partner, your father, and he just disappeared, leaving her by herself. 'She didn't have any support at that moment so that was the only option that she had. Even [though] it was painful, she had to let you go.'
