DJ Pauly D is one proud papa.

The Jersey Shore star finally got to meet his 5-month-old daughter Amabella earlier this month and revealed exclusive new details toBreaking Celebrity News.

“I was nervous until I saw her face. When I saw her eyes light up and her arms reach out for me, it was an amazing feeling,” he told Breaking Celebrity News at the F*ck Cancer NYC Charity Event on Thursday night.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, the MTV star and the baby’s mother, Amanda Markert, finally agreed to meet at an undisclosed location in New Jersey on Nov. 6.

Dishing more about the first meeting, Pauly joked that Amabella will probably inherit some of his love for hair gel and fist pumping.

“The first thing she did was reach for my hair,” he laughed. “She is beautiful.”

“She smiles all the time. Always smiling. I always smile, too, so she’s definitely my baby just by that big smile she has,” he gushed.

Pauly showered his daughter with plenty of gifts, including a pair of Air Jordans that match his shoes.
