Doting Dad

She continued, “You have always shared the load of getting up at night, changing diapers, bath time together, sick days, comforting her when she’s not having a good day. We couldn’t ask for a better dad dad dad than you! Thank you for being the best father to our daughter. We love you. #HappyFathersDay.”

Lots of Drama

Jen and Ronnie have faced no shortage of drama over the past year. From explosive arguments to getting arrested, there’s never a dull moment with these two. In early June, Ronnie sat down with Entertainment Tonight and was asked what was going on with him and his baby mama. “Right now, she’s always going to be the mother of my child,” he said.

Trying Hard

At the time, Ronnie explained he was trying to be the best dad to his kiddo. “Everything I do now doesn’t affect me anymore — it just affects my child,” he explained. “She has to grow up with that. You want to make sure you’re doing the right things because monkey see, monkey do, you know? And I don’t want her doing the same things I did. That’s for sure.”

Getting Help

In February, Ronnie revealed he entered rehab, and it seems like it was a great decision. “I decided to go to treatment because I wanted to be a better person, a better father for my daughter,” he told Us Weekly at the time. “Eventually, all the bad decisions I was making were going to lead me on places that I didn’t want to be. I wanted to be led to the place that I am now — that’s happy, healthy and the best role model for my daughter.”
