Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, the breakout star of MTV’s Jersey Shore, has revealed she is battling stage 1 cervical cancer. The 38-year-old reality television icon and entrepreneur shared the news with her millions of followers on February 23, 2026, during an emotional episode of her podcast, It’s Happening with Snooki & Joey.

Polizzi explained that the diagnosis came after a routine gynecological exam led to a follow-up biopsy. While the news was a significant shock to her and her family, she emphasized that the cancer was detected in its earliest stages. “I’m terrified, but I’m also lucky,” Polizzi told her listeners. “If I hadn’t gone in for my yearly checkup, we wouldn’t have caught it this early. It’s stage 1, which means it’s treatable, and we’re getting ahead of it right now.”

The mother of three (Lorenzo, Giovanna, and Angelo) stated that her primary focus is her health and her children. She used her platform to urge other women, particularly those who may have delayed medical appointments during busy periods of life, to prioritize their screenings and Pap smears. “As moms, we always put ourselves last,” she said. “I’m telling you now, don’t do that. Go to your appointments. This literally saved my life.”
