Season 5 of Jersey Shore Family Vacation kicked off this week and fans were curious whether Ronnie Ortiz-Magro would appear or not.

Rumors had spread recently that Ronnie was on the outs with his castmates and with MTV, and he did not appear in the most recent cast photo to promote the new season.

To viewers’ surprise, Ronnie had a big role in the season premiere where he was seen planning to propose to his girlfriend, Saffire Matos.

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino accompanied him to Saffire’s parent’s house so that he could get her father’s blessing. Ronnie also shared the news with his costars who, while supportive, thought that the decision might be a little rushed.

Following all of the excitement, it was shown that Ronnie was arrested for an alleged domestic incident involving Saffire. Because of things going on in his life, Ronnie needed to take a brief hiatus from the show to focus on his mental health.

After weeks of silence, Ronnie has finally spoken out regarding his future with the show.

The person wrote, “Season 5 of #JSFamilyVacation just started airing by me. It’s sad to not see @RealRonnieMagro in the opening credits. I hope he returns next season and shows the world he has become the best version of himself.”

Ronnie replied to the tweet and simply said, “I’ll be back soon [smiley face.]”

Ronnie needs to get clean. It’s sad watching him deteriorate. He shows every sign of substance abuse.
