“That seat looks so weird empty,” the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star, 34, captioned a Monday, May 4, Instagram Story photo of his daughter’s empty car seat. “I think I need to put someone in there.”

In the next slide, the reality star showed Ariana “cranky as usual” behind him. “Doesn’t miss a beat,” the New York native wrote. “I love her.”

Ortiz-Magro documented the rest of his and Ariana’s day, from fake-vacuuming the house and dumping plastic groceries out of a cart to pushing a baby in a stroller and reading books before bed.

“I don’t think I’m moving anytime soon,” the MTV personality captioned a photo of his little one sleeping on his chest. “Hold my calls.”

He and Harley, 32, welcomed Ariana in April 2018. In October 2019, Ortiz-Magro was arrested after an alleged altercation with the Las Vegas native and was charged with seven misdemeanors, including domestic violence, child endangerment, brandishing a weapon, criminal threats, false imprisonment and two counts of resisting arrest. Ortiz-Magro denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to the charges the following month.

The Famously Single alum was issued an emergency protective order against her ex at the time of his arrest and Ortiz-Magro missed his daughter “every single minute” they weren’t together, a source told Us Weekly exclusively in April. “He can’t wait until he is legally able to be with her again,” the inside added.
