Sammi and Ronnie Meet for the First Time Since Split in Jersey Shore Reunion

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation had an uncomfortable start as exes Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro came face to face for the first time since their split in 2014.

An entire episode of season seven was dedicated to their awkward reunion, with Ronnie being picked up from the airport by Mike Sorrentino, Paul DelVecchio, and Vinny Guadagnino. Reflecting on his past with Sammi, Ronnie admitted that they had grown apart.

Their relationship was tumultuous from the start, with incidents like Sammi punching Ronnie in the face during season three and both admitting to hooking up with other people. Despite their history, they decided to go their separate ways, with Ronnie expressing his respect and care for Sammi as a person.

Now facing an uncomfortable meeting, Ronnie shared his journey of self-improvement during his time away from the group. He acknowledged the need for closure with Sammi after seven years of not seeing each other.

Sammi, on the other hand, expressed a mix of emotions and a desire to navigate the situation for the sake of everyone getting along.

When they finally reunited, the exchange was awkward, with Sammi confessing to feeling "nothing" during the encounter. Tensions escalated as Vinny brought up a past cheating note, causing Sammi to react strongly to the topic.

As the group dynamics shifted, warnings were issued about potential conflicts, and emotions ran high during the reunion.

Since their split, Ronnie has become a father and navigated various personal challenges, including a failed engagement. The reunion brought up unresolved feelings and highlighted the complexities of their past relationship.
