She was a huge part of his recovery.

On Jersey Shore Family Vacation, Sorrentino revealed that he's been in Narcotics Anonymous for two years.

Lauren has been integral in his commitment to staying sober.

She has been with him at his lowest of lows — like when he relapsed into his addiction to painkillers after he broke a rib while working out in the summer of 2015.

Lauren drove him to the hospital and reminded him he could not take painkillers, that he'd been down this road before.

Mike relapsed but was able to pull himself out of it again, and did a 60-day stint in rehab in 2012 to get past his addiction to painkillers, other drugs, and alcohol.

Today, Sorrentino is still sober.

She's stood by his side for better or worse.

Not only was Lauren an important part of Mike getting and staying sober, she's also stood by her man during his legal troubles. Sorrentino pled guilty to tax evasion in January and is currently awaiting sentencing. He faces up to 15 years in prison. 

Pesce took to Instagram to post a pic praising her hubby, captioning it:

"Congratulations to this guy @mikethesituation. I’ve watched him work hard in silence for years, personally and professionally, without getting any recognition. He didn’t do it for anyone to notice, he did it to better himself, his life and to create a healthy and positive future for us as a family. I am so proud of you for all you’ve overcome & the incredible man you are today. You inspire me everyday to be my best and I’m over the moon and filled with emotion that the world is finally able to see your true self at your core. May God continue to bless you, our family, friends & fans forever! Feeling lots of love today! #blessed"

She's been on reality TV, too.

To get past that, the pair signed up for the reality TV show Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars in 2015 right before he relapsed into his painkiller addiction.

Sorrentino said of their experience on the show, "It really helped us out and it still helps us out to this day. You sort of learn how other people communicate and they’re coming from a different perception or a different view, and you have to value that view and listen to respond."

The Sorrentinos announced their pregnancy on Nov. 23.

And they can't wait to be parents!
