"Jersey Shore" star Pauly D is reportedly in a custody battle with the mother of his five-month-old daughter Amabella. According to TMZ, the famous DJ and his child's mother are fighting over money and custody.

Sources told the website that Pauly has not seen Amabella yet but wants to change that. He has reportedly filed court documents to seek some sort of custody over the little girl. The DJ also feels the woman, who goes by Amanda, is not " a fit mother."

Sources claim Pauly has his concerns about the 25-year-old former Hooters waitress because she also has another child by someone else. The woman has also filed court documents and is seeking child support from Pauly.

According to E! News, sources claim Pauly is ready to be a father to the little girl and is willing to financially support Amabella.

"I'm proud I'm a father. I am excited to embark on this new part of my life," he told TMZ.

Pauly and Amanda never dated but hooked up one drunken night in Las Vegas in the Fall of 2012. The news of the secret baby came as a surprise to everyone but many of the "Jersey Shore" cast members congratulated the new dad.

"Holy s**t I just heard!" Jennifer "JWoww" Farley told E! News. "I'm so f**king happy for him I just texted him. Crying! He's going to be the best dad ever!"

"I couldn't be more happy for Pauly!" Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola said. "He is going to be such a wonderful dad! This new little girl is so lucky to have the coolest father around!"

Pauly is the second cast member to become a parent. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has a son named Lorenzo, with her fiancé Jionni LaValle.

"He's going to be an amazing father," Snooki said. "He's so loving and caring. I can't wait for Lorenzo and her to play!"
