Marriage Troubles: Snooki Admits She & Husband Jionni Sleep In Separate Bedrooms, Have Sex 'Once Or Twice A Year'

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jionni Lavalle have only been married for ten months, but they've already hit a rut, the MTV reality star admits in her new tell-all book.
"In all seriousness, we get it on once in a blue moon," the mother of two, 27, confesses in Strong Is the New Sexy, out now. "The urge strikes occasionally…it's over and done quickly."
"I feel couples really need to have sex for five minutes once or twice a year."
So, what happened?
In addition to losing her libido after delivering two children, Polizzi claims they're both just too busy.
Now, the newlyweds are sleeping in separate bedrooms, she says: While Lavalle stays with son Lorenzo, 3, at night, Polizzi watches over their daughter Giovanna, 1.
"I have no idea how long this is going to last, with the babies needing us overnight," she writes. "But we're probably not hooking up at night until the kids sleep in their own rooms, and we have the bed for ourselves."
The couple faced rumors of marriage troubles just one month after their fairytale wedding, when In Touch reported that Lavalle, 28, tried to pick up a hot brunette while partying in Florida.
Then in August, the doting dad was outed as a possible user of cheating website Ashley Madison.
"They have had some knock-down, drag-out fights," a source told Okmagazine.com following the scandal.
But Polizzi vehemently defended her man in an Instagram post.
"Jionni is the most humble, respectful, and most loyal souls I know," she insisted.
