NEW YORK (CBS) "Jersey Sore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi may have found a new "gorilla juicehead."

According to People, the mystery guy is Jeff Miranda, a 24-year-old Iraq war veteran who lives in Millstone, N.J.

He told the magazine that the two met at club Karma in Seaside Heights and said it was "love at first sight."

"We just hit off," he said. "I've always thought she was beautiful ... [But] she's also a sweetheart. She's affectionate like I am. We have a lot in common. We both don't care what people think of us. If we're happy, that's all that matters."

Polizzi, 22, recently called it quits with her last love, Emilio Masella, after two months of dating. The two reportedly began dating in April after they met on Facebook. According to US Magazine, the self-proclaimed "guidette" dumped him after having suspicions that he was cheating on her and only using her to advance his own career.

"Jersey Shore" is three weeks into its sophomore season on MTV and is currently filming the third season in Seaside Heights.
