'Jersey Shore' has become one of the most iconic reality shows to date! The series launched the careers of some of our fav Jersey residents, Snooki, Jwoww, Mike, Pauly D, Vinny, Deena, and of course, Ronnie! While Ronnie Ortiz-Magro spent most of his time on the original show dating former cast members, Sammie Sweetheart, he managed to find love all over again once the two split for good. As the reunion show, 'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation', came to fruition, Ronnie and his new relationship with Jen Harley, was a huge storyline.

The two began dating back in 2017, and while things started off fine, their relationship took a turn for the worst only a few months in. During this time, Ronnie and Jen were expecting their first child together, a baby girl, which only made their toxic relationship even worse. While fans have a lot to say about Jen Harley, there's still a lot we don't know about her. Here's who Harley was before her relationship with 'Jersey Shore' star, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.

Who Was Jen Harley Before 'Jersey Shore'?

'Jersey Shore' first aired back in 2009, bringing light to a cast that would soon become one of the most talked-about people in the world. The show followed the lives of Snooki, JWoww, Vinny, Pauly, Mike, Ronnie, and Deena as they partied their lives away on the shore of Seaside Heights. The original series ended in 2012, leaving fans heartbroken over the end of 'Jersey Shore'. Luckily for viewers, MTV revived the show in 2017 with 'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation'. While we witnessed one toxic relationship with Ronnie and Sam the first time around, 'Family Vacation' was not short of another!

Ronnie and baby mama, Jen Harley, first met in 2017, only a few months before the star was set to shoot the series reboot. Ronnie's relationship with Harley turned serious very fast after it was revealed that the two were expecting their first child together, a baby girl named Ariana Sky. While the couple's antics played out on-screen for fans to enjoy, things got too ugly to the point where viewers no longer wanted to see their mess of a relationship each week. While we know a lot about Jen and her chaotic ways today, who was she before meeting Ronnie?

Well, if there is one thing that stands true, is that Jen Harley has always been a tough girl. Jen first moved to Las Vegas straight out of high school when she was only 18 years old. While details regarding her time in Sin City are limited, fans quickly became aware of Harley's troubled past, where she was arrested multiple times before even meeting Ronnie. In 2015, Jen was pulled over due to negligent driving where she received her first DUI. From then on, it appears as if her wild ways continued.

In 2017, only a few months before meeting Ronnie, Jen Harley was arrested yet again for lewd and lascivious conduct after stripping in a public hot tub. This all took place while Jen was raising her firstborn, Mason, who she had from a previous relationship. After meeting Ronnie, fans and his fellow cast members noticed a plethora of red flags, including the ones just mentioned, however, that didn't seem to be enough for Ronnie to walk away before children entered the picture.
