Nino Giaimo is Vinny's uncle and he joined the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation stars while they were in San Diego. Things started out fun when they all went on a gondola ride. Vinny started to boast about how he had been with over 300 women and Uncle Nino with over 500 women.

“I'd say 3,000, easy. Six a week for 12 years straight. You do the math.”

Uncle Nino is known for his comedy and wit. He always knows how to lighten the mood and get a laugh out of everyone. But much to everyone's surprise, he seemed to get serious when he was alone with Angelina.

Angelina was undergoing her own divorce from her estranged husband, Chris. So to find out how Uncle Nino recovered from his first divorce, she asked him:

"You've also been divorced. Was it hard for you or were you just, like, done."

Uncle Nino shared that the first time he got divorced he was depressed. But when it came to his second marriage, he shared that he was happy to get out of it. Angelina was quick to ask him why he was depressed after his first marriage. Emotionally, Uncle Nino revealed:

"There was too much love, too deep, too personal. That was my heart and my soul. It's a sad story, but she couldn't have any kids."

During her confessional, Angelina shared that Nino had been through a lot and it was very clear that he still loved his first wife despite everything. He opened up and shared that his first wife wanted to be friends with him, but he couldn't put his heart to just be friends with her. He said:

"I loved her too much."
