‘Jersey Shore’ star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro wants cooking lessons for Christmas

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is looking to improve his skills in the kitchen this Christmas.

“The gift I would love to receive this year is cooking lessons. I’ve always wanted to learn how to cook,” the “Jersey Shore” star recently told Page Six. “I can make a few meals but they are usually unhealthy or Italian.”

While Ortiz-Magro didn’t disclose which dishes he’d like to whip up, the MTV personality did reveal the bevy of bizarre presents once left for him under the tree.

“The weirdest gifts I ever received were wool multi-colored sweaters or ugly holidays socks, usually from a distant relative,” the 34-year-old shared.

As for what 2020 has in store, Ortiz-Magro said he is focused on “being the best version” of himself.

“Doing more things that help me mentally, spiritually and emotionally,” he said, adding, “Going places I’ve never been, and doing things with my daughter I’ve never done before.”

Ortiz-Magro has been embroiled in a domestic violence case with ex-girlfriend Jen Harley, the mother of his 1-year-old daughter Ariana Sky. In November, he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
