After getting engaged in 2021, the couple tied the knot in a surprise wedding on June 24, 2026. They invited their guests to what they believed would be a movie screening — but it turned out to be their nuptials.
Farley started dating Carpinello in 2019 after her divorce from ex-husband Roger Mathews was finalized. Since then, Carpinello has appeared alongside Farley on episodes of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, where he has become a part of the group. He's also a member of Farley's family off-screen, spending quality time with her two kids, Meilani and Greyson, from her previous marriage.
Farley makes Carpinello very happy, something he isn't afraid to state publicly and often. When the couple got married, he told PEOPLE, "I love Jenni's bold confidence and ambition on life, but also humorous and softer side that she pretty much only shows me!"
The feeling is mutual. Farley told PEOPLE at the time, "Zack has always loved me exactly as I am. He's supportive, patient and puts family first."
So, who is Jenni "JWoww" Farley's husband? Here's everything to know about Zack Clayton Carpinello.

Before he became her husband, Carpinello was a guest at Farley's wedding to her ex-husband. The couple shared the story of their unlikely first meeting in a red carpet interview with E! Insiderin May 2019.
When asked how they met, Farley asked Carpinello, laughing, "You wanna answer it?" He laughed and responded, "I met her at her wedding."
"One of my best friends didn't have a date to the wedding, so she brought her brother," Farley explained.
She added that their friendship turned into a relationship on a trip to Disney when her friend suggested she call her brother to go out. "Since he's been part of the inner circle and friends, I was like sure, why not? And here we are," Farley said.
He's a professional wrestler
Carpinello is a pro wrestler and formerly worked with All Elite Wrestling, the league which also boasts former WWE stars such as Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy. A year later, WrestleZone confirmed that Carpinello had left AEW after his contract was not renewed.
As of 2026, Carpinello wrestles with Awesome Championship Wrestling (ACW) as part of the wrestling team "Full Blooded Italians."
He proposed at a romantic location

When Carpinello popped the question, he did it in a very big way — by taking her to the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building, which he had rented out. He proposed on her birthday, Feb. 27, 2021.
She posted photos a few weeks later of the special day. In one picture, Farley shows off her ring while kissing Carpinello. In another, the newly engaged couple looks out at the city below while enjoying a celebratory drink.
"On 2.27 I said yes on the top of the Empire State Building 💜💗 @zackclayton," she wrote in the caption.

Farley told her castmates about his proposal, revealing that she both did and didn't expect the moment. She only realized what was happening when Carpinello started crying on their way up to the top floor.
"Yeah, I was sobbing," he admitted in an episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
He's close with Farley's kids

Carpinello gets along well with Farley's two kids — even dressing up in coordinating Harry Potter costumes with them for Halloween 2022.
Farley, her daughter Meilani and son Greyson all wore Gryffindor uniforms, while Carpinello went as Dumbledore in a gray outfit with a wig and beard.
Carpinello shares sweet snaps of himself and the kids on Instagram often, including videos of Greyson in the gym with him. On Greyson's birthday in 2022, he posted a shout-out to him, writing: "HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY MY BIG BOY!!!!! SO PROUD of the little man he is becoming every day 🙌🏼💪🏼."
He's also present for family trips. In 2023, Farley, Carpinello and her kids took a trip to Egypt together. "We got an up close look at valley of kings and queens. The tombs of all the greatest rulers of Egypt. Amazing," Carpinello captioned an Instagram post of himself and the family outside of the Tomb of Tutankhamun.
The family has also taken a trip to Universal Orlando, which he called "our favorite place" in an Instagram post, and a resort in Atlantic City, N.J., for Meilani's cheer competition.
He's an ambassador for a nonprofit that promotes sensory accessibility

Carpinello is an ambassador for KultureCity, a nonprofit dedicated to providing safe spaces for people with sensory needs and invisible disabilities at events and experiences, like sporting events and concerts.
Sensory accessibility is a cause near and dear to Farley's heart, as she has a son with autism and sensory needs. In 2021, Farley partnered with KultureCity to create a sensory room at Barclays Center in New York City for event-goers with sensory needs. The Greyson Mathews Sensory Room was named for Farley's son.
"We came to Barclays a few years ago for an event and had to leave early when Greyson became overwhelmed and overstimulated," Farley shared at the room's ribbon-cutting ceremony, adding that its creation was a "full-circle moment" for her and her family.
"Now, to be able to attend events and games knowing there's a safe space for him, and others with sensory processing disorders, is so monumental to me," she added. Farley serves on the KultureCity board, joined by actors Simu Liu, Randall Park and Ken Jeong, among others.
They got married in June 2026
Carpinello and Farley tied the knot in a surprise wedding on June 24, 2026, five years after the couple got engaged.
When guests arrived at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, N.J., they thought they were going to see a screening of Farley's new movie, Nanny Cam. Instead, it turned out to be her Beauty and the Beast-inspired wedding.
"We've spent months keeping this secret, creating invitations, planning the movie-themed details, and building the surprise," the couple told PEOPLE. "Seeing our family and friends go from thinking they're attending a special screening for Nanny Cam to realizing they're actually at our wedding will be a moment we'll never forget."
They added, "This wedding is about our family, not just the two of us. We wanted the day to celebrate not only our love story but also the family we've built together over the last seven years."
