"I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic ! I had my little man last night, healthy at 6lbs! HE'S MY WORLD! ❤," the star wrote on Twitter.
MTV, which is responsible for bringing the star to fame through the "Jersey Shore," also shared excitement over having a new Guido to add to the house.
"We couldn't be happier for Nicole and Jionni on the healthy delivery of their baby boy! We look forward to Lorenzo's first trip to the Jersey Shore and can't wait to see his first animal print onesie," the company said in a statement.
Snooki admitted in a previous interview that she was hoping for a girl, although the idea of having a boy has worn on her.
"I thought it was going to be a girl," Snooki told In Touch "I was hoping it would be, because all girls want girls."
She later added that health however, was the most important issue and Lorenzo appears to have been born in perfect health.
The star also has plans to have a dream wedding, but said that she was anxious to have her baby first so that there would be time to focus on being a mom.
"I mean, I do have a dream wedding," she told MTV News in April. "But I definitely don't even want to talk about it or think about it because I'm not even ready for it yet. I just want my baby first."
Thus far, the star is happy with motherhood.
"Being a mom is an amazing feeling!!! I love my little man to death! Jionni is such a cute dad. @JLaValle" she added to her Twitter account.
