Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is in a new relationship
On Oct. 27, Ortiz-Magro and Harley revealed who they have been seeing. Ortiz-Magro shared a photo of himself kissing Matos on Instagram. He later shared an almost identical photo with the caption: “You can’t force happiness, when you know it’s real you realize it eventually chooses you! #HappinessIsAGift #ThankFul.”
A source told E! News that Ortiz-Magro is “totally smitten” with Matos. “She isn’t his girlfriend yet and they are taking it slow, but they really do like each other a lot,” they said. “She’s very sweet to Ron.”
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro still thinks Jen Harley is ‘amazing’
Some fans are confused about where Ortiz-Magro and Harley stand. When Ortiz-Magro shared photos of he and Matos to Instagram, a fan commented asking about Harley.
“[Jen is] amazing and treats Ariana and me like the world,” Magro replied. Given the tumultuous relationship Ortiz-Magro shared with Harley, fans were shocked and confused by his kind words. Some fans think Ortiz-Magro misunderstood the comment he responded to, believing the fan was referring to Matos, not Harley.
“I think you’re talking about your new girl?” a fan replied. “Or do you mean Jen is amazing?”
“Thank God I wasn’t the only one who thought he was talking about the new one,” another person commented. Ortiz-Magro didn’t follow up with the fan’s responses, leaving many people confused.
Regardless of who Ortiz-Magro was referring to, most fans are pleased with the fact he found happiness with someone else.
Some ‘Jersey Shore’ fans think Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley should be together
When Ortiz-Magro shared a photo of Matos, some fans didn’t take too kindly to it.
“This girl doesn’t hold a candle to Jen,” one fan commented. “He’s only posting this pic because [Harley] posted first of her and her insanely gorgeous successful new MAN out in Miami for her bday. Typical Ronnie stalking her IG trying to compete.”
The same day Ortiz-Magro posted, Harley shared a photo to her Instagram Stories of her new guy, Justin Hensley. Hensley is a businessman and owner of the Rockstar Models agency, according to his social media profile.
Matos and Ortiz-Magro both replied to the frustrated fan. “Please refrain [from] your jealousy issues,” Matos wrote. “I posted this way first in the morning and then [Harley] posted. There’s the real facts.”
“Jealousy is a disease baby,” Ortiz-Magro added. “[Wear] you’re mask so these haters can’t [affect] you.”
