Six years after he sent her home on a dating show, Pauly D asked Nikki Hall to marry him. The Jersey Shore star, 46, proposed on Sunday, Sept. 27, at OMNIA Dayclub in Las Vegas, and Hall, 34, said yes.

Video of the moment, posted on Instagram by the club and by Pauly D, shows him walking Hall to the center of the crowd and opening a ring box. She nods with a hand over her mouth, then cries as he puts the ring on her finger. “She said yes,” he shouts to the crowd.

OMNIA’s caption: “Things just got serious.”

Who is Nikki Hall?

Nikki Hall is a Las Vegas-based influencer and reality TV personality. She was born in Jamaica and was living in Los Angeles when she arrived on MTV’s Pauly D & Vinny: Double Shot at Love in 2019, where she introduced herself as “your girl Nikki.”

She has been on MTV ever since. She came back for the dating show’s second season, joined the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cast as Pauly D’s girlfriend, and returned to Double Shot at Love in its third season to help Vinny Guadagnino look for a partner.

How did Pauly D and Nikki Hall meet?

On Double Shot at Love, in 2019. The format puts two single stars, Pauly D and his Jersey Shore castmate Vinny Guadagnino, in one house with 20 women.

Women are sent home along the way, and in the finale each star can pick one of his final two to leave with, or pick no one.

Hall was one of Pauly D’s final two, with another contestant, Derynn. In the finale, Hall told him, “I really do love you.”

He sent Derynn home first, then told Hall she was “so sure, so soon” that it caught him off guard, and that he was “rolling solo for now.” He left the show without a girlfriend.

“He stared me in my eyes and told me no,” Hall said in her confessional after leaving.
