Surprise — Malika Haqq and Jersey Shore Star Ronnie Magro Are Dating!
The Jersey Shore alum and Haqq, Khloé Kardashian‘s BFF, met while filming season 2 of E! relationship rehab series Famously Single, confirmed they were dating last December — and called it quits by February. “I feel like with me and Malika … we had a connection,” Magro said of the split. “When you meet somebody, you’re super attracted to them and you’re like: ‘I want to sleep with you.’ And with Malika it was like: ‘I want to get to know you.’ I feel like we had more of a friendship.”
If you were always team Ron and Sam, you might want to sit down for this one.
Jersey Shore‘s Ronnie Magro has found a new love in his life — and it’s none other than Khloé Kardashian‘s BFF Malika Haqq.
The new couple met while filming season 2 of E! relationship rehab series Famously Single, which is set to premiere in 2017.
“We had a lot in common from the start and it was an instant friendship. The attraction quickly became a mutual romance,” Haqq, 33, and Magro, 31, told E! News. “Our support for one another through this challenging experience made us strong in a very short period of time. We had an opportunity to really get to know each other living in such close quarter.”
“Our family and friends are aware that we are together and extremely supportive of our relationship,” they added.
Magro hinted at the relationship Thursday on Instagram, posting a picture of him and a mystery woman — now revealed to be Haqq — kissing at sunset.
“#Happiness #FamouslySingleSeason2ComingSoon #EChannel #March #MakeSureYouKeepUp,” he captioned the post.
Referencing his tumultuous five-year romance with his Jersey Shore costar Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, he added: “#NahItAintSamSoStopAsking.”

And if Magro has the same kind of luck as his fellow Jersey Shore alum Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, his relationship with Haqq just might end up being the real deal. DelVecchio, 36, found love with his Famously Single costar Aubrey O’Day on season 1. PEOPLE confirmed the two were dating in February, and despite being on-again, off-again for much of the relationship, the couple is still going strong.
