Jen and Ronnie’s history
Fans can recall the turbulent relationship between Jen and Ronnie. They were together from 2017 to 2019.
Ronnie made headlines for their rollercoaster relationship in 2019 after an alleged domestic violence incident. Reportedly, their two-year-old daughter Ariana was present.
Ronnie was kept from seeing his daughter due to a restraining order that Jen filed. He faced several charges which included domestic violence, child endangerment, brandishing a weapon, criminal threats, false imprisonment, and two counts of resisting arrest.
The incident led to them finally calling quits on their relationship.
Ronnie’s new relationship
Jen isn’t the only one who’s happily moved on since their relationship ended. Recently, Ronnie went Instagram official with his new girlfriend, Saffire Matos.
Ronnie shared a photo of the couple on a boat during a vacation. Saffire had her legs wrapped around him as they shared a kiss.

Vinny said, “I’m happy he’s happy. That man has definitely turned his life around. That’s the biggest highlight of this next season is Ronnie was like present and there…that man showed up.”

Ronnie added that he was the happiest he’s been in a long time.
