After Deena Nicole Cortese spent months trying to coerce Pauly D into smushing her, she finally realized that she should find someone who wants to spend some quality time with her. Deena has a man! We can fist pump to that.

Ever since the 25 year-old joined Jersey Shore, she’s seemed mad insecure and desperate, but all that has been put to a stop, hopefully. Chris Buckner is now dating a blast in a glass. Deena and Chris were first spotted together in October, but there’s no official word on when they began dating.

Chris has accompanied Deena to many red carpet events and they even celebrated New Year’s Eve with Deena’s parents in Las Vegas. Cortese recently turned 25 and she was spotted with Chris while she held a teddy bear balloon that said “XOXO” on it.

Buckner was a wide receiver on his football team and that’s about the only thing we know about him. Well, that’s all we need to know. He’s cute and he makes Deena happy. Good for her!
