The "Keto Guido" is officially the last man standing. While the rest of the Jersey Shore crew is busy changing diapers or planning vow renewals, Vinny Guadagnino remains the resident bachelor of the Shore House. If you’ve scrolled through his Instagram lately, you’ve probably seen the thirst traps and the jumping-rope videos, but you haven’t seen a girlfriend. It makes everyone wonder: is Vinny dating anyone, or is he just destined to be Pauly D’s third wheel for the rest of eternity?
Honestly, it’s complicated.
Vinny has spent years dodging the "settled down" life that claimed Snooki, JWoww, and even Mike "The Situation." He’s been on dating shows, flirted with Bachelorettes, and had more "situationships" than we can count. But as of early 2026, the status of his heart is a bit of a moving target. He’s transitioned from the guy looking for a "smush room" partner to someone who openly talks about "intentional dating."
The Jamaica Connection and the Ailin Mystery
If you watched the recent seasons of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, you saw the roommates try to play matchmaker in Jamaica. It was kind of cringey, but also weirdly sweet. They set him up on a blind dating show where he eventually hit it off with a woman named Ailin.
She’s a lash technician from Canada—a "green flag" in Vinny’s book because, apparently, he has a thing for Canadians (remember Francesca Farago?).
They shared a kiss. They exchanged numbers. Vinny even called her his "future wife" in that classic, half-joking Vinny way. But here’s the reality check: while they still follow each other on Instagram, the "ship" hasn't exactly sailed into the sunset. They live in different countries, and the logistics of a cross-border relationship are a nightmare, even for a reality star with a flexible schedule. It seems they’ve settled into that "we talk sometimes" zone rather than a full-blown relationship.
Why Everyone Thinks He’s With Angelina (Again)
We have to talk about the AI girlfriend incident.
In mid-2025, Vinny posted a video of himself making out with an AI-generated woman. It was a total troll move. Fans lost their minds because the digital brunette looked suspiciously like Angelina Pivarnick. The comments were a wasteland of "Just marry her already!" and "Yo, even AI knows he wants Ang."

Basically, the "Vingalina" shippers are never going to give up. But let’s be real—Angelina just went through a messy split with "Vinny 2.0" (Vinny Tortorella) that involved domestic violence charges and cheating allegations. Our Vinny, the original Vinny, seems to value his peace way too much to jump into that fire. Their relationship remains a "will-they-won't-they" that is mostly "they won't," despite the constant flirting for the cameras.
Intentional Dating and the Raya Life
Vinny is 38 now. He’s not the 21-year-old kid from Staten Island anymore. On a recent podcast appearance with Kayla Nicole, he got surprisingly vulnerable. He admitted that his Raya bio now says "intentional dating."
"My next relationship is forever. If I say I love you, I'm not playing games."
That’s a heavy statement from a guy who used to be famous for one-night stands. He’s looking for something real, but he’s also incredibly picky. He has a type—he’s openly stated he prefers dating Black women—and he’s looking for someone who fits into his new, quieter lifestyle. He’s into running marathons and staying home with his dog (RIP to his pup who passed recently) more than he's into hitting the club.
The Truth About His Current Status
So, is Vinny dating anyone right now?
As of today, Vinny Guadagnino is officially single.
He’s dating, sure. He’s probably active on the apps and meeting people in NYC and LA. But he hasn't "hard-launched" a girlfriend. He told Kayla Nicole that he actually goes on plenty of dates with "baddies," but he’s become a master at not getting photographed. He’s keeping his private life private until it’s the real deal.
There was a brief moment where people thought he and Kayla Nicole might be a thing, but he shut that down too, saying "the ship has sailed" on them being anything more than friends. It turns out she’s a "spontaneous" person and he’s a "planner," and those two vibes just didn’t mesh.
What to Look For Next
If you're waiting for Vinny to settle down, keep an eye on his social media for these subtle signs:
- A shift away from the solo gym selfies.
- Travel photos where someone else is clearly holding the camera (and it's not a producer).
- Less trolling about being "the lonely bachelor" on Jersey Shore.
Vinny seems to be in a "waiting room" phase of life. He’s watched all his friends get married and, in some cases, divorced. He’s seen the messiness of public relationships and he’s choosing to wait for the "forever" one. Until then, he’s perfectly happy being the fun uncle of the group and keeping us all guessing.
If you want to keep tabs on his status, the best place isn't actually the tabloids—it's his podcast. He tends to let more slip when he's behind a mic than when he's in front of a camera. Pay attention to his "intentional dating" journey; he might be single now, but he’s clearly not planning on staying that way for long.
Check his recent Instagram follows for any lash technicians or fitness influencers from Toronto or New York. That’s usually where the trail starts. For now, the Keto Guido is still flying solo, focused on his fitness and his peace of mind.
