Guess who's already planning play dates with Pauly D's baby daughter?

Snooki!

"I'm so happy for Pauly," Snooki tells me exclusively. "Definitely a shock to all of us, but we know Pauly the best and he's going to be an amazing father. He's so loving and caring. I can't wait for Lorenzo and her to play!"

Pauly D became a father several months ago, a source confirmed earlier today to E! News exclusively. The 33-year-old DJ is "very excited" to become a daddy and "has always wanted kids."

Pauly and the baby's mom "didn't have a previous relationship," but the new dad "is hoping to develop a relationship" with her, the source said.

JWoww is just as excited as Snooki. "Holy s--t I just heard!" she told E! News. "I'm so f--king happy for him I just texted him. Crying! He's going to be the best dad ever!"

The baby news was first reported by TMZ.
