In August, theJersey Shore: Family Vacationstar spoke with PEOPLE at the show’s premiere, reflecting on what turning 41 over the summer meant to him.

“I’ll be honest with you. I’m happy to make it this far,” Sorrentino said. “I was so wild in my twenties and thirties that being the family man that I am today — being eight years sober in December, a dad of two, married five years in a happy, healthy marriage — I’m killing the game.”
