Ortiz-Magro has also had issues with domestic violence in the past with more than one girlfriend. Many of these episodes were documented on the show multiple times. There were a lot of on-air fights including one where he tried to throw a girlfriend’s bed out the window with her still in it.

What’s he doing now? He’s opening a sneaker store there called Sneaker Clinic. “I felt like I needed a change of scenery and a change of just pace in my life, so I decided to move from LA to Miami,” said Ronnie, who was shown recently talking to a real estate agent and interacting with daughter Ariana.
