Farley and Matthews announced their engagement in September 2012 after two and a half years of dating. Rogers popped the question while the couple went skydiving and presented Farley with five-carat-plus cushion-cut diamond surrounded by 2.5 carats of smaller diamonds, some of them pink.
Perhaps the mom-to-be solicited some advice from her “Jersey Shore†and “Snooki & JWoww†costar Nicole “Snooki†Polizzi, based on another image Farley posted on Instagram. It appeared to be a screen grab of text exchanged between them regarding “normal pregnancy convos†and Snooki’s son, Lorenzo, who is also JWoww’s godson.
“Lorenzo was and is perfect,†JWoww wrote about the 1-year-old.
“So will urs,†Snooki responded. “Sleep safe, keep hydrated, no Advil or Aleve†she wrote. “No pushing on the toilet either.â€
“Yes mom!†JWoww joked.
