Sitch and Paula stroll hand-in-hand along the Seaside Heights boardwalk.

Admitting to the existence of a committed relationship while living within Seaside Heights' city limits is almost as embarrassing as, say, confessing that your mom still does your laundry (oh, wait...), and while rule-maker (and immediate rule-breaker) Ronnie famously stated that falling in lurve at the Shore is a no-no, remaining in love (and, consequently, moving in together)...well, that's even more sinful!

But Sitch has never been one to abide by the tenets of "Jersey Shore" living, and in this "Live! With Kelly" Grilling With The Stars segment, dude surprises us all by dropping the girlfriend bomb on air. We knew that he and his sometimes hookup, Paula, were back in action this summer--pics of the two holding hands emerged while Mike was filming Season 6--but we had no clue they were headed for exclusivity! At least, we think that's the person he's referring to in the clip below.

Look out, world. Mike "The Situation" is now a practicing boyfriend, for better or worse.
