Snooki and JWoww have already shared their congratulatory messages for new dad Pauly D exclusively with E! News, and now Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola is giving the DJ props, too. After it was revealed the 33-year-old MTV reality star recently fathered a baby girl, his former Jersey Shore costar shared her well wishes with us.

"I couldn't be more happy for Pauly!" the 26-year-old reality star tells E! News exclusively. "He is going to be such a wonderful dad! This new little girl is so lucky to have the coolest father around!"

Since news broke that Pauly became a dad, he's retweeted several congratulatory messages. A source previously said that the musician "is ready to jump in and take responsibility as a father."

Snooki—mom to son Lorenzo, 14 months—said the news came as a "shock" to the Jersey Shore cast. "He's going to be an amazing father," the Dancing With the Stars competitor gushed. "He's so loving and caring. I can't wait for Lorenzo and her to play!"

JWoww was equally surprised to learn that her former roommate has a daughter. "I'm so f--king happy for him," she told E! News on Tuesday, Oct. 22. "He's going to be the best dad ever!"

Jersey Shore's Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Vinny Guadagnino have yet to publicly comment on Pauly's baby news.
