MTV's 'Jersey Shore' alum Vinny Guadagnino and Netflix's 'Too Hot To Handle' star Francesca Farago were spotted on a date in New York City on July 11. Photos obtained by Daily Mail confirmed that the two were seated next to each other and appeared cozy in each other's company. The outing came hot on the heels of the pair flirting with each other on Instagram.

Farago posted a topless photograph of herself on her Instagram page on July 21 evening and Vinny once again commented on it with a couple of fire emojis to emote his feelings about it. The pair haven't made their relationship official but the question is, is it romance or just two friends who are truly comfortable with some healthy flirting? 

The Netflix star appeared in a podcast on July 14 confirming that ex-Jersey Shore star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi was the reason she got talking to Vinny. Snooki and Vinny might have hooked up back in the day, but the duo share a pretty strong friendship and the former is now playing Cupid. "Snooki started following me and she was commenting on my photos and I messaged her and was like 'Can we be friends?' and she was like, 'Yeah, I actually have a friend of mine who thinks you’re cute.' So that started the conversation between him and I," she revealed on an episode of celebrity gossip podcast 'Not Skinny But Not Fat'.

"He’s like me in guy form, it’s weird," Francesca said of the Staten Island native. "He’s just this hilarious and very chill person (and) he’s pretty cute, so it’s just nice to have people around me who seem very genuine and really nice," she said on the podcast. 

In the past, Vinny has been linked to Maria Elizondo. The two met on a dating show titled 'Double Shot at Love' that the former fronted along with his best friend Pauly D, on MTV. The chemistry between Elizondo and Vinny was undeniable but the two concluded that they were better off as friends. He picked Alysse Joyner as his match on the same show but their romance didn't stand the test of time. Vinny also dated Elicea Shyann between 2017 and 2018 but it ended after he cheated on her during a 'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation' episode. He also dated model Melanie Iglesias for two years before calling in quits in 2014.
