If you’ve been watching Jersey Shore Family Vacation then you know that Ronnie Ortiz-Magro’s status as the president for life of the IFF (the esteemed “I’m F-cked Foundation”) remains unchallenged.
It all started when Ronnie cheated on his pregnant girlfriend, Jen Harley, on one of his first nights in the South Beach house.
Not surprisingly, their relationship hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows in the months since the notorious “French Fry” incident was filmed.
Just a few weeks ago, Ronnie blasted Jen as a “cum dumpster” and accused her of refusing to delete sex tapes that she made with her ex.
Shortly thereafter, Ronnie requested a paternity test, having apparently become convinced that Jen cheated on him in the early days of their relationship.
(Needless to say, Rahn might have been projecting a bit with his suspicions.)
Not exactly the kind of interactions that inspire a lot of optimism for Ron and Jen’s future as a couple.
In fact, there was a time when the Ron and Jen split up was such a done deal that Magro began dating Scheana Marie of Vanderpump Rules fame.
But now, it looks like Ron has taken a page from Rob Valletta’s book and unceremoniously kicked Scheana to the curb.
And surprisingly, it seems his motivation for ending that relationship was his desire to get back together with his baby mama.
Over the weekend, Ronnie posted a Mother’s Day tribute to Jen on social media.
And today, he further cemented his relationship status by informing his followers that he and Harley on vacation together, and the trip’s been interrupted by illness.
“At our 2nd hospital in 24 hours #MyPeanutsNotFeelingWell,” Ron wrote on Snapchat.
“#CaliFamilyBeachTripFail”
Insiders say Ron and Jen are still struggling – but they’re intent on making the relationship work.
“Right now they’re just trying to focus on their daughter and make sure she’s okay,” a source tells with E! News.
“They’re trying to work things out for her sake. They’re giving it a shot.
“His daughter is his biggest priority so he just wants to keep things as calm and civil with Jen for the baby’s sake,” the insider adds.
“They both really regret how ugly and public their split was so they’re doing everything they can to keep things private right now.”
Here’s hoping Ronnie will stay away from hot tubs for the sake of his relationship.
