'Jersey Shore' Star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley Reportedly Split Following Instagram Live Altercation

The two got into an Instagram back-and-forth on Sunday.

On Sunday, Jersey Shore's Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and his girlfriend Jen Harley caught attention for trading jabs on Instagram Stories. Ronnie typed, "can’t turn a natural born HOE, into a HOUSEWIFE," while Harley fired by and said, "You can't turn a coke head into a father." Ronnie also posted a poll in one of the Instagram clips asking viewers, “If your significant other keeps sex videos of their ex, shouldn’t they show enough respect to delete them, esp after being in a new relationship for over a year?”

Things completely fell apart after a Monday Instagram Live session showing an altercation between the two. In the stream, Ronnie confronts Harley about keeping footage of her having intercourse with her ex-partner on her phone. The situation gets increasingly tense as Harley continually asks Ronnie to step away from her as she pushes him back with her arm.

“Put your fucking hands on me again. I dare you," Ronnie says in a standoff. He then says he's going to delete that photo before the camera shakes in the ensuing physical struggle. A voice is heard screaming for Ronnie to stop, and the clip cuts as he looks down at the phone camera.

A source told Us Weekly that the two have broken up as a result, but another told the outlet "that can change at any moment.”

Ronnie and Harley's split comes after the couple welcomed a baby girl earlier this month. On Monday, the Jersey Shore star took to Instagram Stories once more to publicly apologize for a "private matter that should have never been made public."

"I remain focused on my daughter and she is my number one priority," the Ronnie's note concludes.
