Jeff Miranda - Snooki's New Boyfriend

Snooki is dating a new guy, 24-year-old Iraq War veteran Jeff Miranda.

The Jersey Shore star and her beau took their blossoming romance out on the boardwalk of Seaside Heights over the weekend. The new couple spent the entire weekend together getting to "know each other" according to one of Jeff's pals.

Jeff confirmed the relationship on his Facebook, and is already talking to RadarOnline,

"We're having a great time together. I just want me and her to be happy together," Jeff said.

Jeff Miranda, who has his own production company, says his dream "is doing movies."

"I have the gift. I've always been the funny guy in the group and I'm good at acting," he said. But he made it clear that Snooki is not simply a means to an end.

"I want people to know me for me. I'm a good guy and want to make it on my own," he said. "I'm not using Nicole [Polizzi] for that. I want to make it on my own. I'm a man and I've got what it takes to make it."

However, his friends thinks differently and says he could have other motives.

"I've known Jeff for a long time and the guy is a player," a source said. "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."

In any case, on Facebook, Jeff describes himself to be "crazyyy as motha f*****!!!" and says "you only live once so gotta make the best of it."

Now this is a match made in...well, it's some kind of match, anyway.
