'Jersey Shore Family Vacation' new season: Cast takes cross-country trip without Ronnie

The cast members of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” are hitting the road in the new trailer for the upcoming season, which debuts Thursday, Jan. 26 on MTV.

But did they forget someone?

Cast member Ronnie Oritiz-Magro is not part of the cross-country trip, according to the trailer and promo material.

“Where is Ronnie?” asked a fan on social media.

“So no Ronnie again?” asked another.

Ronnie posted a pic of himself with his fellow “Jersey Shore” male cast members in November with the caption “Time to get the band together.”

It doesn't appear that time is now. Ronnie, who's has legal and sobriety issues, did return briefly last season for a sitdown with Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino at Patricia's of Holmdel.

“Haven't been on the East Coast in a while,” said Ronnie on the Aug. 11 episode. “Been a long year and it’s been a lot of doing the right thing, just being a full-time dad and being sober, you know. Living the best life I can live, one day at a time.”

Ronnie was arrested on suspicion of intimate partner violence in April 2021 in Los Angeles, but avoided jail when a judge in September determined that the time he spent in treatment was significant enough to forgo a sentence behind bars. He had previously pled no contest to one count of domestic battery and one count of resisting arrest from an October 2019 incident in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles, when police were called to a home where he, ex-girlfriend Jen Harley and then 20-month old Ariana were staying.

MTV previously stated that Ronnie was stepping away from the show after the April 2021 arrest to address his mental health issues. A request to MTV for an update on Ronnie's status on the show was not answered.

As for the upcoming season, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Deena Cortese, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Pauly “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, Angelina Pivarnick, Vinny Guadagnino and Jenni “J Woww” Farley hit the road, without their spouses, to a soundtrack of “Born to be Jersey.” Stops include New Orleans, North Carolina, Wine Country in California and the “Dancing with the Stars” studio in Hollywood to support contestant Vinny.

“Hey, there he is!” shouts Mike and Pauly D when Vinny comes on the show.

Vinny and Angelina, the only two unattached cast members, seem to spark things up again in New Orleans. These easy riders never seem to take the easy road home.

“You like him, just say it. You like Vinny,” says Nicole to Angelina.
