Life & Style magazine just sent me an e-mail blast after the important news that Snooki of Music Television's "Jersey Shore" is now SINGLE:

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and her boyfriend, Jionni LaValle, have axed their relationship after almost eight months. Life & Style has learned exclusively that the two broke up after Jionni’s visit to Florence, Italy, over the weekend. "Snooki and her boyfriend have split up," a source tells Life & Style. "He went to visit her in Italy this past week. They fought a lot while he was there and have called it quits."

The couple began dating in the fall after Snooki met Jionni in New Jersey while she filmed season three of Jersey Shore. But while in Florence, the two got into a public fight over an incident at a club. While the duo kissed and made up the next day, they realized shortly after that distance and trust were still issues between them, and ended things.

"He said it was hard for them to be apart, and that with the whole world knowing her past, he finds it very hard to trust her," a second source close to Jionni confirms to Life & Style. "He said that as far as he was concerned, if she did anything wrong in Italy, it was over."
