"Snooki&amp;#039;s fianc\u00C3\u00A9 Jionni LaValle has said that the couple have nicknamed their unborn child &amp;quot;ShortnTan&amp;quot;. The Jersey Shore star - whose real name is Nicole Polizzi - announced this week that she is expecting her first child. On Wednesday, the baby&amp;#039;s father took to Twitter to express his happiness after weeks of remaining tight-lipped. He wrote: &amp;quot;Thank You everyone!! Sorry about that wait but glad everyone&amp;#039;s happy!! Nicole and I are real excited!! Our baby is going to be #ShortnTan.&amp;quot;  LaValle also addressed negative reactions from some, including Snooki&amp;#039;s ex-boyfriend. Emilio Masella came under fire recently after he appeared to say that he hoped Snooki miscarries her child. After apparently being threatened by her lawyers he clarified his comments, stating that he doesn&amp;#039;t want Snooki to have a child or to miscarry. LaValle tweeted: &amp;quot;All u jealous, disrespectful haters out there, u see what u wana see on TV! My fianc\u00C3\u00A9 and I n JR are going to be so happy! #youllgeturs&amp;quot;  &amp;gt; Snooki&amp;#039;s ex-boyfriend defends miscarriage comments, welcomes lawsuit "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
