Ronnie Ortiz-Magro
Ortiz-Magro joined the cast of Jersey Shore at 24 and spent most of his time on the show in arguments with Giancola and Mike. However, his life changed in December 2017 when his girlfriend Jen Harley revealed she was pregnant. They welcomed daughter Ariana Sky in April 2018. The pair had a tumultuous relationship and both accused each other of physical abuse. In January 2019, Ortiz-Magro spent a month in a treatment facility for alcohol and depression.
Ortiz-Magro and Harley split for good in October 2019 after an altercation at an L.A. Airbnb. Ortiz-Magro was subsequently charged with seven misdemeanors including domestic violence, child endangerment, false imprisonment and resisting arrest. He pleaded not guilty but was ordered to stay at least 150 yards away from Harley and his daughter. In May 2020, the MTV star accepted a plea deal in the case and was placed on probation for 36 months, ordered to serve 30 days of community labor and pay $20,000 to a woman’s shelter.
The drama continued when Ortiz-Magro decided to step away from Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in May 2021, one month after he was arrested and released on $100,000 bond in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Us that his booking fell under “intimate partner violence with injury with priors,” referring to his previous arrests.
In June 2021, Ortiz-Magro proposed to his girlfriend Saffire Matos. “He knew that she was The One pretty much early on in their relationship,” a source told Us at the time. The twosome split in July 2022, calling off their engagement.
Ortiz-Magro returned to Jersey Shore: Family Vacation as a supporting cast member for season 7 in 2024.
