Ronnie Magro

Despite the fact that she has not yet appeared on Jersey Shore Family Vacation -- and it looks more and more like she never will -- Sammi Giancola is still close friends with several of her former castmates.

Others ... not so much.

It's been over a year since Ronnie Magro and Jen Harley finally broke up for good, and pretty much everyone who's familiar with these two agreed that it was a good thing.

Sadly, it seems the tension between Ron and Jen isn't over quite yet.

Hey.

To each her own, right?

Based on his past, one has to take the following with a grain of salt the size of Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's biceps.

But:

We're about to embark on a brand new season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

And we're also about to meet a brand new Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.

Jersey Shore has seen some devastating breakups over the years:

Ronnie and Sammi, Snooki and Crocodilly, Angelina and that guy who bought her a Fossil watch ...

Note to Saffire Matos:

You may wanna sleep with one eye open these days.

Are you ready to spend the holidays with the fam?

So asks MTV in the first promo for Jersey Shore; Family Vacation Season 4, which is set to return this fall with new episodes.

Many dysfunctional celebrity parenting duos have clear-cut hero and villain roles, but that's not the case with Ronnie Magro and Jen Harley -- they like to switch things up by both behaving horribly.

Thankfully, Ronnie and Jen have been broken up for almost a year, and it looks as though they're planning to stay that way.

We have some allegedly troubling news, celebrity gossip fans and followers:

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley are back together.

Even following a season that featured a prison release, an arrest for domestic violence and the most controversial wedding reception speech in reality TV history, many thought this was it for Jersey Shore.

Over the past couple months, we've heard lots of complaints from people who are fed up with being stuck under one roof with family members or roommates who are getting on their nerves.

But Ronnie Ortiz Magro is one of those unfortunate souls who's been stuck in a far worse predicament.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro received a double dose of very good news this week.

First, as previously reported, the troubled Jersey Shore cast member reached a plea deal several months after his arrest for domestic violence in which he will likely avoid jail time.

Last fall, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was accused of threatening his baby mama, stealing his daughter from her arms and barricading himself and his child inside of a house.

In the ensuing months, the question on the minds of Jersey Shore fans everywhere has been this:

Last week, we reported on an encouraging update in the life of Ronnie Magro,

We wish it was something we got to do more often.

For a long time, the question of which Jersey Shore castmate stirs up the most drama was very much open for debate.

But these days, there's no doubt that it's Ronnie Magro.

With little else to do during the ongoing Coronavirus-related shutdown, Jen Harley has seemingly reverted to an old habit.

She's back to trashing Ronnie Ortiz-Magro in public.

You know what they say about denial, right?

It's not just a river in Egypt.

These days, life has pretty much ground to a halt thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, but as we were reminded during last night's episode of Jersey Shore, a lot happened during the eight months that Mike Sorrentino was in prison.

Deena welcomed her first child; JWoww started dating Zack Carpinello; Vinny became a stripper ...

The past two years have seen a lot of ups and downs for Ronnie Magro.

And while all that turmoil might be good for Jersey Shore ratings, we imagine it's beginning to take a toll on Ronnie's psyche.
