Everything We Know About ‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ Season 6

It's almost getaway time again! The cast of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was spotted filming in California — minus two familiar faces. "The crew was about 20 people and included Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Lauren Sorrentino, JWoww and her fiancé, Pauly D and his girlfriend, Deena [Cortese] and her husband. Ronnie [Ortiz-Magro] and Snooki [a.k.a Nicole Polizzi] were not present," an eyewitness told Us Weekly exclusively after the cast was spotted filming at Barbusa restaurant in San Diego on Tuesday, April 19. "The wine and pasta were flowing." The eyewitness added that the group grabbed dessert afterward at Nonna Zucchero. "Everyone seemed amicable and in good spirits," the insider added, noting that several fans spotted the cast and snapped pictures for social media. Three days before, TMZ reported that the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cast was also spotted celebrating Easter at a winery in Southern California. Ortiz-Magro was also missing from that outing, as well as Pauly D. While Ortiz-Magro hasn't been spotted with the cast earlier this month, the MTV personality revealed in August 2021 that he was planning to return to the show following his domestic violence arrest earlier that year. "I feel great,” he told TMZ at the time. “Four months sober, I quit drinking. Got engaged, full-time father, you know, [I’m] living a good life." He continued: "I stepped away to deal with my mental health, be a father to my child, be a fiancé to my woman. I’ll be back and, you know, all the fans love me and I love them too so I’m gonna give them what they want and I’ll see them soon. … [It’s] definitely not over." [jwplayer PE6XTvGI-zhNYySv2] In April 2021, Ortiz-Magro was arrested in Los Angeles after an alleged domestic dispute that occurred while his daughter, Ariana, was present. He was released on $100,000 bond, and his attorneys, Scott E. Leemon and Leonard Levine, told Us Weekly one month later their client would be “seeking medical treatment for psychological issues that he has ignored for a long time.” The following June, he got engaged to girlfriend Saffire Matos seven months after making their relationship public. “I love you 💕 Thank you for sticking by my side through thick and thin! Til death do us part! #SheSaidYes," he wrote via Instagram at the time. Ortiz-Magro isn't the only cast member who went through some ups and downs ahead of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 6. Angelina Pivarnick split from her husband, Chris Larangeira, in January after two years of marriage. According to court documents obtained by Us, the New Jersey resident filed for divorce on January 20, citing “irreconcilable differences." The paperwork claimed that those differences caused a “breakdown of the marriage for a period of at least six months.” Larangeira also argued that there is “no reasonable prospect of reconciliation” between him and Pivarnick.

Some of the Cast Might Not Be There

Ortiz-Magro was noticeably missing at both occasions, but he wasn't the only cast member to skip an outing. Pauly D skipped out on their Easter trip, while Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi wasn't present for their big dinner in San Diego. It's unclear whether Ortiz-Magro will take part in season 6 following the ups and downs of his past year.

Relationship Drama Will Likely Play a Role

Ortiz-Magro's proposal to Matos was a surprise to his Jersey Shore castmates, a source close to the couple told Us exclusively in June 2021. “Ron kept the proposal very private. He only told his family and best friends," the insider said. "He’s closest to Angelina [Pivarnick] and the boys, but he didn’t even tell them until after it happened."

Pivarnick's marriage will also likely play a role in the upcoming season's plot, as previous episodes of the show have chronicled their relationship difficulties. “It’s, like, we’ll fight and then whoever starts the fight won’t want to bang,” she told her castmates during a June 2021 episode of Jersey Shore. “So he don’t want to bang, I don’t want to bang, no one wants to bang. ... I’m not the most perfect wife ever. I yell at him, I’ll belittle him sometimes. I feel like we’re both wrong. But see how I’m admitting it to you? He won’t ever admit that he’s wrong."

There's No Scheduled Air Date

There's Still Tension With Angelina

Shortly after her divorce was announced, fans speculated that Pivarnick might date Vinny Guadagnino, who is also single. However, the Double Shot at Love star quickly denied that they would be anything but friends during a March 2022 interview with Us. “I’m on the 18th floor of my hotel. I would rather jump off this balcony than ever entertain one of those [dating] rumors,” Vinny joked. “I don’t know if people think that I’m, like, capping or I’m lying about this. Like, when I tell you there’s not an ounce of energy or anything in my body that has any kind of romantic attraction toward Angelina, I promise you. I do not.”
