Snooki’s New Boyfriend Might Be a Player

Snooki just started dating this dude Jeff Miranda, an Iraq veteran from her neck of the woods. The 24 year old seemed like he’d probably be a down-to-earth change of pace for Snooki at first. It doesn’t seem like someone who served our country would be interested in the trashy world of reality television and club appearances, right? But people who know Jeff are adamant that his interest in Snooki is solely for the publicity.

After seeing paparazzi shots of Jeff and Snook on the Jersey boardwalk, the source who spoke to RadarOnline said, “I’ve known Jeff for a long time and the guy is a player. This whole Guido thing is something totally new. He’s become a gym rat and hooked-up with Snooki to get popularity and fame. Let’s face it, the guy wants to be a star.” Now there’s a statement that sounds like it’s either totally true or that “the source” is totally his jealous ex-girlfriend who wants him to burn.

As for what Jeff thinks about his new lady, he updated his Facebook page with the following message over the weekend:

“People no more Snookie talk. Her name is Nicole by the way. All I’m saying is we had a great time together. She is an amazing girl and couldn’t ask for any more or less. I am not making any further comments about Nicole and myself. When the time is right you will be updated.”

Hmm. Again, this could go either way. It could read like Jeff’s being respectful, and it could also read like, “Who the hell are you to be making public statements of this nature about anything?”

Jury’s out on Jeff. We’re going to have to see how this one plays out before we make a final judgment on whether or not we’re going to hate him.
