I didn\u2019t have the perfect situation with her mother, but she\u2019s turned out perfect. She\u2019s so sweet, polite. It\u2019s like, \u2018Are you mine?’\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Ronnie\u2019s good news comes after he and Jen, 32\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 who welcomed Ariana in April 2018 \u2013<\/span>\u00a0called it quits for good following allegations of physical abuse<\/a>.
