Pauly D Shares Rare Comments About 12-Year-Old Daughter Amabella

And when his costar Vinny Guadagnino suggested Amabella try her hand on a “nice show like Shark Tank,” Pauly joked, “Shark Tank would be good. Young entrepreneurs, I support it.”

Pauly tends to keep his daughter out of the spotlight, though he has occasionally shared rare insight into their life together—including the sweet way she had become his “little mini-me.”

“I got her a DJ room,” he told People in 2018. “She’s scratching records already. She’s so funny. She just wants to follow me around and do every single thing that I do.”

And two years ago, Pauly shared another big update when Amabella got a cell phone, which he said became a game-changer for their communication.

“She got the iPhone 15 for Christmas, so that was a big deal,” the “Feel It” musician told People in May 2024. “And it’s good for me because I can talk to her all the time, especially when I’m traveling.”

However, Pauly noted that he was enforcing some rules around the phone—particularly with the apps she uses and taking it away “if her grades aren’t good.”

“She’s not allowed to have TikTok. She’s too young,” he explained. “She does do the kids YouTube though, and I don’t know, I feel like that’s basically TikTok anyway. They do all the dances.”

But his stricter rules are only meant to protect Amabella, who has become Pauly’s biggest priority ever since she was born in 2013.

“It’s the first time I ever loved something and somebody more than I love myself,” he said on his reality show Double Shot at Love in 2023. “That girl is my everything, and there’s two most important ladies in my life: my mother, and my daughter.”
