On July 6, the 36-year-old Jersey Shore star shared a cryptic quote on his Instagram Story about being with the "wrong" person. "A WRONG partner will find you in peace and leave you in pieces. A RIGHT [partner] will find you in pieces and lead you to peace," the message read, per Page Six.

Matos, meanwhile, addressed the pair's relationship status more directly on her recent Instagram Reel upload. In response to a fan who asked if she's "even with Ronnie anymore," the businesswoman wrote: "I was engaged 15 mins boooo boo I've been around for three years taking care of someone. Mind your business 💜"
