DJ Pauly D was anxious before meeting his five-month-old daughter Amabella, thinking that she would not like him.
The 33-year-old former 'Jersey Shore' star said Amabella's eyes lit up the moment she saw him, reported Contactmusic.
"I was nervous if she wasn't going to like me. But the second I saw the baby her eyes just lit up, it's almost like she knew," Pauly said.
"It was amazing. I knew she was mine right off the bat too because she looks just like me. She came right over to me and put her arms right up to me. (She) grabbed my hair! That's the first thing she went for. And then she was biting my nose," he added.
The reality TV star was amazed at how natural fatherhood came to him.
"I didn't know what to expect, and then you know, it's almost like I knew what to do. I felt comfortable holding her. It was an exciting feeling (and) all the nervousness went away," he said.
