Around the same time Ortiz-Magro went public with his new relationship, Harley shared news of her new beau, Justin Hensley — a businessman and owner of a modeling agency.
Despite their rocky past, Ortiz-Magro spoke highly of Harley in the comments of his Instagram post with Matos.
“[Jen is] amazing and treats Ariana and me like the world,” Magro replied to a fan. Some fans think Ortiz-Magro misunderstood the comment and was referring to Matos, not Harley. Regardless, Ortiz-Magro and Harley are doing their best to co-parent their daughter, Ariana Sky.
Ronnie Magro says his relationship with Saffire Matos is unlike any other

“She’s special to me,” Ortiz-Magro told Us Weekly in November 2020. “I met her back in February and we talked for four or five months and we really did have a strong connection and bond.”
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced him and Matos to stop speaking briefly, but their feelings for each other remained. The two rekindled their flame before he went to Las Vegas to film season 4 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
“She supports me,” the Ortiz-Magro added. “She loves me and that’s something that I’ve always looked for. And I feel like that’s [some]thing that I have not gotten in return and it’s [some]thing that I’ve always given to other people.”
Ortiz-Magro said his relationship with Matos was unlike any other. “It’s different for me because I found someone that adds to my happiness,” he explained, referring to his past relationships with Harley and Jersey Shore‘s Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola.
