It's not often that we get to see Jersey Shore star Pauly D in action as a dad, but this celebration seems to be the exception. New photos of Pauly D and his daughter have surfaced as they rang in her 10th birthday together, and it's hard to believe how quickly she's growing up.

Photos of Pauly D's daughter surfaced on an MTV reality fan account.
Photos of Pauly D's daughter, Amabella Sophia, were obtained by an Instagram account called @mtv_reality_teaa, as Page Six reported, and though it's not clear where exactly they came from, they do show Pauly D with a very grown up-looking Amabella as she celebrated turning 10 in May 2023.
She's so cute!
It seems to have been a really special day for Amabella Sophia.
According to the caption on the post, Pauly D reportedly surprised his daughter by showing up to the party, and he had his girlfriend, Nikki Hall, in tow for the event. Judging by the photos that were shared, it appears Amabella was excited to see her dad there.
Pauly keeps his dad life pretty private.
Those who watch Jersey Shore in its various iterations on MTV know that Pauly will mention his daughter from time to time, but it seems like he does his best to keep that side of his life as private as possible.
We don't get to see much of his life as a father, but from what we have glimpsed, it looks like he's loving it.

Becoming a dad wasn't something that Pauly planned on — at least, not at the time it happened.
After the news that Amabella had been born broke in 2013, Pauly admitted in a statement to Us Weekly that her birth hadn't been "planned."
"Sometimes in life things aren't planned and they may even scare you at first, but they end up being a blessing, that is how I feel about having a daughter," he said at the time. "I'm looking forward to being a parent to her."
He has plenty of fellow parent friends to lean on.
Pauly isn't the only Jersey Shore member to have welcomed a child — not by a long shot. Both Snooki and JWoww are moms, and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino also has three children of his own with his wife, Lauren.
Can they please get all the kids together for a playdate?!
