    Looks like the Wests are heading South for the summer.
     
    Kanye West recently whisked all four of his kids to Puerto Escondido, Mexico for a five-day fun-filled getaway, a source close to the rapper tells E! News. After arriving to their destination on Father’s Day, June 20, the 44-year-old musician along with North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3 and Psalm, 2—who he shares with estranged wife Kim Kardashian—relaxed at an artist’s retreat on the ocean.
     
    “The kids enjoyed time at the pool and at the beach while Kanye made music and art,” the insider tells E! News. “He met with various people on the property to learn about the architecture and work of the artist.”
     
    The source also shares that the dad of four seemed “very interested and curious” when it came learning the history behind the luxurious retreat. As the insider puts it, “He wanted to spend hours on everything he was doing.”

    After spending nearly a week seaside, the kids headed back to their home in Los Angeles, while Kanye stayed back at the retreat for another five days before following suit.
     
    Kanye and his kids aren’t the only ones in the family enjoying a little getaway. Kim recently jetted off to Rome with a few pals to mix some business with pleasure. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has been even photographed hanging out with model Kate Moss during her Roman holiday.

    Looks like everyone is starting their summer off the right way by touching the sky.

    Even the Jersey Shore Cast Was Surprised by Snooki's Family Vacation Return

    Even the Jersey Shore Cast Was Surprised by Snooki's Family Vacation Return

  • Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi makes her return to the MTV franchise in the new season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, but even her besties were shocked to see her filming again! Find out why.
  • Watch: “Jersey Shore” Stars Trade In Their Wife Beaters for Winter Coats

    Gang’s all here! 

    The cast of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation gushed to E! News’ Daily Pop co-host Lilliana Vazquez today about co-star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi‘s return to the legendary MTV reality franchise. In an exclusive clip from the June 2 interview, Lilliana asks the stars to dish on what it was like filming again with Snooki following her dramatic 2019 “retirement” announcement.  

    “She came in like she never left,” Angelina Pivarnick laughed. 

    The season four teaser trailer even shows Snooki popping out of a cake to surprise her roommates—and it truly was an unexpected shock to the cast who were filming in the snow-filled Poconos. 

    “She didn’t even tell us that she was coming back!” fellow meatball Deena Nicole Cortese revealed. “We were completely, completely surprised.” 

    Snooki’s long-time BFF Jenni “JWoww” Farley revealed that the whole group was “crying like little babies” when they first saw Snooki. “It just finally felt complete again,” JWoww admitted.

    Mother of three Snooki previously told Daily Pop co-host Carissa Culiner in Feb. 2021 that she needed a well-deserved break. “Jersey Shore‘s been my life for ten years,” Snooki said. “And I loved my roomies, but I just needed—my soul needed—a break because the drama was getting too much. And I feel like I wasn’t being the best mom that I could be to my kids.”

    As Snooki returns to Family Vacation, co-star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is exiting the franchise for mental health reasons.

    Snooki also came back just in time for some big milestone moments: JWoww got engaged to Zach “24” Clayton Carpinello in March, Deena gave birth to her second son Cameron in early May and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino welcomed baby Romeo Reign with wife Lauren Sorrentino on May 27. 

    The close friend group gushed that Big Daddy Sitch is already a perfect father. “You can see the proof in everything that he’s transformed in his life, when it comes to his life, his marriage, his friendships,” Vinny Guadagnino explained. 

    Pauly D added, “This was the last piece of the puzzle for him. He got married, went to jail, transformed his entire life…That’s everything he’s ever wanted. He’s going to be such a good dad.”

    Mike and Lauren will be “flawless parents” to their newborn son, as JWoww praised. As for her own wedding planning, the coronavirus put JWoww and Zach’s nuptials on hold. “I would love a destination wedding,” JWoww teased.

    But don’t expect any bridesmaid drama like at Angelina’s big day! “Besides the kids being involved, I don’t know if I’ll have a maid of honor or anything like that,” JWoww stated. 

    And what about their new wintry landscape? JWoww jokes this season will be like “hell froze over” while Vinny compares the Poconos to Italy.
