Jersey Shore's Ronnie Ortiz-Magro roller coaster ride to fatherhood and family vacations

Ronnie + Sammi = 4ever.

Alas, it's not like that that happened, Sammi "Honey" Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro finally go their separate ways after years of intense back and forth, and Sammi even choose to jump the Jersey Shore: Family Vacations this year.

For Ronnie, his fate – and his image – seemed inextricably tied to Sammi for most of the time he spent on GTL Jersey Bankand the old habits were hard to break, both for him and for MTV's dedicated fandom, who cried what appeared to be the real end of their relationship in 2016.

Over the past year, however, despite his return to the pack with The Situation, Vinny, Snooki, JWoww, Deena and Pauly D, Ronnie's life outside of his packed MTV existence took center stage, with the 32-year-old becoming a father for the first time to his daughter Ariana after breaking up with Ariana's mother, Jen Harley, explosively.

Even though he was participating in one of the most talked about reality TV shows of all time, it was not always easy to read Ronnie amid the ups and downs of Sammi, his temperament, which caused him various problems, and his inevitable anxiety over his misdeeds during the original race of the series.

Because surely there are more things out there than volatile but sensitive meathead.

Ortiz-Magro, originally from the Bronx, was tailor-made for Jersey Shore, who has been nurtured by the carefree lifestyle enjoyed by the eight roommates assembled to live, work (a little) and party (a lot) in the popular holiday resort that has been a destination for families seeking a beach for a century.

Overseeing the six hectic seasons of the hit show was executive producer SallyAnn Salsano, for whom Ronnie expressed extreme gratitude, for essentially helping him shape a career of just being himself after working for his father in real estate before being discovered by MTV.

"I like it," said Ronnie The Hollywood Reporter in 2011, when the show was shooting in Italy. "She changed my life for the better, I had nothing, I came from the bottom SallyAnn is an amazing person, and I know that she likes me – I do not know why, but I know that she loves me to death and would do something to make sure that I succeed. "

Sometimes it was not easy to pick on Ronnie, especially when he was using his strength for the worse, that he was charged with assault and that he had been sentenced to community service; enter a bar fight; throwing punches at his own roommate, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino; or, in season three, tearing Sammi's affairs in a jealous rage and breaking his glasses, on purpose. (No you do not deserve it, Ronnie !!)

"Everything is destroyed by mine," said Sammi later. "Everything is broken and ruined."

At least he spent the night crying for his efforts.

"I miss her and I love her and I definitely regret everything I 've been doing negative," Ronnie complained later in the day. episode after Sammi had said had leave the house. "Certainly more now than ever."

They met and broke up, then reunited, during season five in Italy.

Catch up with THR In March 2012, before returning to season six, Ronnie said that he had moved to Los Angeles "to try to get into the game," he had planned on Ron Ron Juice (the fruity cocktail that was # 1). 39 he first concocted the guys waiting for the girls to get ready – and what restaurant menus and fans were quick to replicate) on the store shelves, he had an appearance like a version of him- even in The Three Stooges movie that was coming out and he had just been Punk & # 39; d by Bam Margera.

From Italy, he spent much more time with all the ladies in the house, not just Sammi, working to strengthen his friendships with everyone.

"I became like a big brother for all the girls in the house," he said. "It feels good to have everyone in the house who really wants to be near you, instead of looking like them, oh my god, they come here, they're going to fight, you know? He smiled. "I'm really friends with Jenni, Snooki is like my little sister, Deena is like my little half-sister – she's still so super-sexy – but I'm Jenny's best friend, so we're all very close. " (The casting had an unofficial meeting when Jenni "JWoww" Farley and Roger Matthews, who are now parents of two, made the knot in 2015.)

However, after consecutive seasons in Italy and New Jersey, he and Sam were released into their "normal life", where there is business and family and not just one and the other . So we are not together right now but we are good friends. "

When Jersey Shore In December 2012, they definitely signed, but they were again in a relationship, with plans to move in together (without six roommates).

His success with Roger in mind, so far JWoww has kept his watchful eye on Ronnie's behavior, having no scruples about chewing him on Jersey Shore: Family Vacations for his yet promiscuous manners, an old habit that refused to die, even though his now pregnant girlfriend Jen Harley was about to visit.

After Jen's visit, Ronnie meditated in an episode of May on how much he liked it, "because it's so much fun."

"If you love her then why would not you be with her?" Jenni asked him, to which he replied, "Why would I be with someone when I have so much temptation?"

Ummm …

Jenni pointed out that she managed to be loyal to Roger during his time at home, and they did not have children tying them together, to which Ronnie responded, "I'm not not Roger. "

"I am you!" Jenni went wild. "I could be a big ho too, motherf – ker, but I choose not to be because I found someone I like, like that, come on, If you want your f – king, you can be Ron, the good guy with the very good girl, and you can put it on a pedestal in this house and on the outside of this house … Basically, what I receive from you, it is that she is not the only one, but it is she right now she has your child. "

She continued: "I'm trying to save you, I'm trying to be a good friend now, be a good guy, mowers are not what it's about, it's talking of f … Be the person who loves Jen, can not wait for your little girl F – k all these bitches! Say, 'Fk you, I have a big wife at home. & # 39; 39; "

The situation, for example, took advantage of the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend, Lauren Pesce.

Maybe Ronnie has never really overtaken Sammi.

"I think I miss the feeling of security because it's what she gave," he told Snooki on April 26th. "It's so hard to find and I think that's how I am …"

For the cameras at another time, Ronnie said, frankly, "Every man wishes that he can be with the love of his life: to be with someone for seven years and then not to finish. with a person? " Yeah, it hurts. "

Despite the departure Jersey Shore together with the best intentions, he and Sammi revealed that in August 2014, they had broken again, with Ronnie saying People"We were adrift and did not really spend time together, I always care about her … It's a great girl, but we were moving away, it was for the better. "

"I wish him only the best," said Sammi, who had moved to New Jersey, to E! New. "Right now, I'm focused on myself."

He probably should not have cheated on her, then.

"She gave me a timeline, she wanted, I want to get married in six months – and I always try to understand my life," he recalls at the premiere of the series Jersey Shore: Family Vacations. "I was cold feet, I wanted to do the right thing, but there was a part of me that said," I will not do what it takes. "So I do not have it. I did not, I ended up cheating, she discovered it, I blew it up.

A source told E! News in March 2016 that Ronnie and Sammi were coming out cautiously, but by the end of the year, Ronnie was dating Hyphen dolls star Malika Haqq, that he met while both were on E! Famous Single. This relationship lasted only a few months.

But do Famous SingleRonnie explained to TooFab a year ago, was a chance to really put his relationship with Sammi behind him.

"It really helped me achieve what I want and what I do not want," he says, "and that some things I was looking for that I realize, you know … this is n '# 39; It's not that I have to install it, but I have to lower my bar a bit, you know, and it's like I'm not perfect, so I can not wait for that that the person with whom I am is perfect … it would be a double standard, it will not work, and it has always been my thing, like 'you must be this, that, that and that', but at the same time I am not "this, this or that". You really can not do that. "

The checklist "has become a little shorter, and I am a little more indulgent."

Last June, Sammi was dating Jersey Boy Christian Biscardi, and Ronnie skipped the last two nostalgic events she attended: E! Road Trip of Reunion: Road to the New Jersey coast and Deena CorteseSammi's marriage will explain later that she jumped Jersey Shore: Family Vacations, which has been renewed for a second season in Las Vegas, to avoid "potentially TOXIC SITUATIONS".

During this time, Ronny began dating Jen, who is the mother of a son from a previous relationship, and they revealed in December that they were expecting a baby together.

Which, of course, was an important step for all the actors, but that did not mean that Ronnie had returned a new non-dramatic sheet.

Ariana was born on April 3rd (after all Family holidays the drama had been filmed but two days before it began to unfold for the world to be seen on MTV), and two weeks later, Ronnie became moving on Instagram, writing, "So excited about it!" to be a father. " Words Can not Describe the Feeling You live your life without ever really knowing the meaning of true love until you have a child.True unconditional love.You love your significant other, do you like your family.I must say that I understand when everyone has said that you will understand "when you have a child to you or when you become a parent" I know that I still have tons to learn but I'm excited for this new trip and chapter In MyLife with my beautiful girlfriend and my daughter #ArianaSkyMagro. "

Eleven days later, the new parents embarked on a fight against social media, which began when Ronnie began writing on his Instagram Story: "Note to myself, I can not turn a natural HOE into a If you find them in the gutter, so leave them in the gutter, all people can not be saved when they are so far away, all you can say is that you did better and that moves!

"#Facts", he scored the post.

Jen fought back with her story with "Can not turn a coke head into a father!"

The exchange went on and, although Ronnie excused himself publicly and privately, their relationship did not survive him.

"He apologized for everything and admitted that he was cheated but he also wants what is best for his daughter and he realizes that it does not. is not a healthy environment for her, "said a source to E! New. "They have separated but for the moment they both live in her Las Vegas home, Jen will probably move out."

Yet, at the same time, despite the toxicity, Ronnie seems to settle in paternity and savor his new role.

"Karma is a Bitch" is the message that JWoww says that she texted Ronnie when she discovered that they had a daughter. "She said Weekly Us"I was like," do you remember all those girls? The hearts that you broke? Now, you will try to make sure your daughter does not have the same thing. "

Maybe that was all his kindness from the beginning – an intimate knowledge of what d-bag guys are capable of, to better protect his little girl.

Since then, he celebrated his first Father's Day and last week he introduced Ariana to one of Dad's favorite places: the beach.

"Every day she changes so much," he said People this month. "Now, if I pull my tongue, she'll stick my tongue, it's too cute, I've had a lot of blessings in my life, but she's the greatest blessing of all."

Things had calmed down between Ronny and Jen, for the sake of Ariana, the exes having no choice but to put their bad blood aside when they had had to take their baby to the hospital last month when she got sick.

"Right now, they are just trying to focus on their daughter and make sure she's fine," said a source to E! New. "They are trying to sort things out for her, they will try." Another insider had explained, "They both regret how ugly and public their split is, so they do everything they can to keep things private right now."

Which is more difficult to do when the cops involve it.

Jen Harley, who has been fighting with Ronnie in the anger department, was determined to be "the aggressor," according to police, when the two men had a physical altercation at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas earlier this month. , apparently on Jen's recently dead dog (she actually accused him of drowning the dog, that he found dead when he went to his house because she was not answering her messages ), but Ronnie refused to file a complaint.

"Ron did a lot of nonsense in his life, but he's not wrong this time," said one source. People.

On Sunday night, Harley was arrested in Las Vegas for an alleged home battery. Lease was set at $ 3,000 and she has since been released. Other details did not show up, but TMZ reported that the two men fought back home from a barbecue. She would have slapped him in the face, he would have demanded that she stand by and, as he was coming out, she took off, dragging her – all while their daughter was in the car.

Ortiz-Magro has not commented on the last weak point in his relationship with Harley, but suffice to say, stability remains a work in progress.

His summer plans seemed to be fixed, with the Jersey Shore: Family Vacations Indeed, Ronnie must also focus on being the best dad possible in a still controversial situation.

If not, he is right to want to be.

"I've always wanted to be known to be of Jersey ShoreRonnie told TooFab last summer, "Because, you know, that made me who I am. I have the impression that this is what made us know about pop culture. It's still Ronnie's Jersey Shore. & # 39; I do not want it to be like Ronnie's Jersey Shore and then he made this show and this show and this show … "I do not want to be like this star of reality who does everything."
