Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Malika Haqq first met on the set of the reality show ‘Famously Single’ in 2016. Season 2 featured eight celebrities with relationship problems. They all lived together, and that is how Ronnie and Malika got along. They had an instant connection over common topics and developed a strong friendship. It soon turned into a mutual romance, and the couple supported each other throughout the tough times that took a toll on everyone in the show.
Coaching experts in ‘Famously Single’ advised Ronnie and Malika to meet new partners, but they ended up warming up to each other instead. They admitted that even their friends were supportive of their relationship. The news was confirmed by Ronnie in early December 2016 through a now-deleted picture he posted on social media. In the photo, the ‘Jersey Shore’ fame is seen to be kissing Malika against a beautiful sunset.

Are Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Malika Haqq Still Together?
Unfortunately, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Malika Haqq are not together anymore. The pair broke it off after two months of dating, seemingly in February 2017. According to Malika, their incompatible star signs and opposite personalities are a few reasons why their relationship didn’t work out. In an interview with People, Malika attributed a part of it to Ronnie’s love language, saying, “His love language is very aggressive. It’s verbally aggressive, it’s physically aggressive. It’s just the way he expresses himself.” Despite the emotional turbulence that consumed their relationship, they decided to stay friends.
According to Malika, she and Ronnie were opposites who gravitated towards each other. However, both of them look for security blankets in situations, so their love for each other shielded them from the harshness of reality. Although it worked for them temporarily, their connection couldn’t survive the test of time. Malika also revealed that the biggest drawback in the relationship was the difference in their backgrounds. Her world clashed with his that mainly revolved around ‘Jersey Shore.’
After the split, Malika and Ronnie continued to talk to each other. After sparking romance rumors with several men over the years, Malika is happily single as of today and is focused on furthering her professional career. When she is not doing that, the television personality’s world revolves around her 2-year-old son, Ace. On the other hand, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is engaged to Saffire Matos.
