In exclusive first photos obtained by RadarOnline.com, Sorrentino, 37, showed off his jacked arms during a gas station stop in East Orange, New Jersey with his wife Lauren.
The Situation wore a gray T-shirt that read, “The comeback is always greater than the setback.” He topped the post-prison look off with suede pants and sunglasses.
The shirt with his signature phrase showed off his ripped arms.
As Jersey Shore: Family Vacation fans know, Sorrentino is known for his love of food, as he's often filmed indulging in treats.
Fortunately for him, he has his toned figure back! His six-pack is what earned him the nickname "The Situation."
According to an eyewitness, Sorrentino went inside to use the bathroom. When he exited, his wife Lauren went back inside the bathroom with him.
“They were in there for no more than two minutes,” the onlooker said. “They did not get food or gas, they just continued on their way.”
His wife Lauren, 34, walked in front of him as the two made their way back to their car.
The two then went to their Long Branch condo in Jersey.
As RadarOnline.com broke, Sorrentino was released from FCI Otisville on Thursday, September 12 around 8:10 am. RadarOnline.com revealed exclusive video of the reality star leaving the prison in his black truck.
