In an exclusive statement to ET, Pesce says: “Thank you everyone for your love and support. Today Mike and I begin to put this chapter of our lives behind us. I couldn’t be more proud to call him my husband. As he says, the comeback is always greater than the set back! Love, Lauren Sorrentino.”

Before turning himself in, he posted one last message on Twitter, encouraging fans to send him mail and sharing his address. He also promised an epic comeback, tweeting, “he comeback is always greater than the Setback.”
