Vinny Guadagnino has been one of the most recognizable faces on reality television for more than a decade. Between his flirty banter, Staten Island charm, and his self-branded “Keto Guido” lifestyle, he’s managed to stay both wildly entertaining and strangely relatable. As Jersey Shore: Family Vacation continues airing new episodes and the cast’s Jamaica trip becomes a trending topic again, fans are back to wondering the same thing they’ve been asking for years: is Vinny finally off the market?
His romantic journey has become a recurring storyline on the show, and every hint of potential love sends the fandom spinning. Here’s where Vinny stands now, and how his dating past shapes the bachelor persona that keeps viewers so invested.
Is Vinny Guadagnino Dating Anyone in 2025?
As of now, Vinny Guadagnino is single, though his recent chemistry with Ailin during the Jamaica episodes added new fuel to the romance rumors. The cast-driven “Last Shot at Love with Vinny G” game unexpectedly introduced him to the Canadian lash technician, and the sparks were immediate. Vinny admitted she had a soft, grounded energy he connected with instantly, and the episode even ended with a kiss and a half-joking declaration that she might be his “future wife.”
The moment felt genuine to fans who have watched Vinny bounce between showmances and casual flings over the years. But despite that promising start, there’s still no sign today—nearly a year after filming—that Vinny and Ailin are officially together. Neither has posted anything online hinting at a relationship, and Vinny hasn’t named anyone publicly as his partner.
A recent interview on The Pre-Game with Kayla Nicole made it clear he’s still looking. At 37, he says he’s less interested in the club-hopping lifestyle that defined his twenties, and more drawn to someone nurturing, educated, witty, and aligned with his values. Even so, his filming schedule, comedy tours, and brand projects keep him constantly moving and may be part of why he hasn’t settled down yet.
Vinny’s Dating History: The Shore’s Most Eligible Bachelor
Vinny has been linked to several women over the years, with his love life becoming a recurring thread in both Jersey Shore and its spin-off projects. His romantic history is a mix of serious relationships, short-lived sparks, and classic reality TV storylines.
One of his most stable relationships came between 2017 and 2018 with Elicea Shyann, a model and nursing student. Their time together wasn’t heavily spotlighted on the show, and by the time Family Vacation found its rhythm, the relationship had quietly fizzled.
A romance with Alysse Joyner surfaced in 2019, complete with public posts and red-carpet appearances. Fans thought they might go the distance, but by 2020, they had parted ways—caught between their careers and the challenges of maintaining a relationship in the public eye.
Maria Elizondo remains one of his most memorable love interests thanks to their Double Shot at Love storyline. Their connection carried across multiple seasons, and Vinny admitted the chemistry was real. But once the cameras stopped rolling, their attempts to make things work faded, and they have since stayed friendly without rekindling anything romantic.
Scattered among these were sparks with other Double Shot contestants, including brief flirtations with Akielia Rucker and Sammie Johnstone. None lasted beyond the show’s confines. Fans have also long speculated about Vinny and Angelina Pivarnick due to their playful dynamic, but that storyline has always been more tease than truth. Angelina’s recent breakup only fueled the chatter, but Vinny has kept things purely supportive and platonic.
How the Jamaica Trip Revived Romance Rumors
The Jamaica episodes, filmed in late 2024 and aired in mid-2025, gave fans their first convincing glimpse of Vinny truly clicking with someone new. Ailin’s warmth, humor, and calm demeanor visibly softened Vinny’s usual guarded flirtiness.
Their kiss became one of the most replayed moments of the season, and viewers immediately hoped she might be “the one.” Even the cast felt it—Snooki and Deena practically cheered from the sidelines like proud aunties.
However, with neither posting updates about the other since filming wrapped, it’s likely the connection didn’t translate into a long-term relationship. Still, it provided one of the most authentic romantic beats Vinny has had in years and reminded fans why they root for him.
Vinny’s Love Life as Part of His Public Persona
Vinny’s romantic ups and downs have become part of his brand—playful, charming, a little self-deprecating, and always open to the possibility of finding real love. His status as the show’s resident bachelor gives the cast something to rally around and gives viewers a storyline they can consistently engage with.
He’s also turned the trials of single life into comedy, weaving it into his stand-up tours and interviews. Between jokes, moments of vulnerability slip through—like the heartbreak of losing his dog Tita in early 2025—which make fans want even more for him to find the right partner.
While the show amplifies every spark, Vinny remains surprisingly grounded about dating. He admits to being picky, and he’s careful about who he brings into a life that is constantly filmed and scrutinized. He wants someone who can handle the energy of the shore house but also appreciates his quieter side—someone who fits his evolving priorities.
The Path Forward: What Fans Should Expect
Right now, Vinny Guadagnino does not have a confirmed girlfriend. The spark with Ailin brought new hope, but with no updates since filming, it seems the storyline ended when the cameras stopped rolling. His past romances helped shape who he is today, but none have led to lasting love.
Still, his openness on the Jamaica trip—and his comments about looking for genuine connection—suggest he’s not closing the door on love. Whether his future romance unfolds on screen, off screen, or somewhere in-between remains to be seen.
For now, he’s embracing single life, leaning into his comedy career, and staying at the center of the Jersey Shore universe. And fans will be right there with him, waiting to see who finally wins the heart of the Keto Guido.
