Real Estate
In 2020, it was announced that Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was selling his home in Las Vegas with a listed price of $870,000. He once shared the home with ex-girlfriend Jen Harley. The property boasts almost 3,000 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, and four bedrooms. Ortiz originally purchased the property back in 2017 for $725,000. Unfortunately, the home became the site of many domestic disputes, some of which were violent.
Relationships
Ronnie's first high-profile relationship was with Sammi Giancola, his fellow cast member on "Jersey Shore." Their relationship lasted from 2009 to 2014. After dating Jen Harley for a period of time, Ronnie announced that they were expecting a child together. In 2018, they welcomed their first child into the world. However, later that year, the couple separated.
After struggling with depression, Ortiz entered a rehabilitation program for alcohol abuse in 2019. During this year, Jen and Ronnie started to become involved once again, although numerous media sources referred to it as an "on-off" relationship. Later in 2019, Ronnie was charged with kidnapping after striking Harley and threatening her with a knife. He then forcibly took their daughter away and locked her in an Airbnb where he was staying. Police were called to the Airbnb, and Ronnie refused to come out, so the door was broken down, and the reality TV star was tasered. After being arrested, Ronnie vehemently denied the allegations but faced several misdemeanor charges.
In 2020, he pled no contest to 1 count of domestic battery and 1 count of resisting arrest. He was given 36 months of probation and 30 days of community labor (but no jail time). Also in 2020, Ortiz was granted an emergency order for domestic violence from Jen Harley, alleging that she had attacked him in his own home while he was sleeping.
