‘Jersey Shore’: What Is JWoww’s Ex Roger Mathews Doing Now?
Jenni “JWoww” Farley recently tied the knot with longtime love Zack Carpinello, but it wasn’t her first trip down the aisle. The Jersey Shore star was previously married to Roger Mathews, and their divorce was so messy that she was hesitant to ever marry again.
The former couple met in Seaside while JWoww was in a relationship with Tom Lippolis. After that breakup, she started dating Roger in 2010. They got married in 2015 and had two children, daughter Meilani (born 2014) and son Greyson (born 2016.)
Three months after JWoww’s September 2018 divorce filing, she filed a restraining order against her estranged husband because she “felt it was in her best interests, and the best interests of her children to do so.” They had a very public back and forth, hurling accusations about one another on social media, before finalizing the divorce in August 2019.
But where do these two stand now and what is Roger up to today? Scroll down for updates.
What is Roger Mathews doing now?
In addition to being focused on being a father to his two children, Roger is a podcast host. He hosts the Champ and the Tramp podcast with UFC Hall of Famer Frankie Edgar.
The podcast features the guys sitting down “for honest conversations with the guests, stories, and takes you won’t get anywhere else.”

Does Roger Mathews have a girlfriend?
Roger is not known to be dating anyone at the moment. Following his split from JWoww, he was in a relationship with hairdresser Danielle Miele for about three years.
Roger first revealed the romance in a now-deleted January 2020 Instagram post, but they had been spotted together several times the year before, as well. Per TMZ, Roger and Danielle met at a concert in May 2019. In January 2022, In Touch confirmed that Roger and Danielle had split.
What is JWoww and Roger Mathews’ relationship today?
After all the drama, JWoww and Roger have gotten to an amicable place with coparenting their two children. In January 2022, she told Entertainment Tonight that she and her ex “balance each other really well.”
“At the end of the day, you just have to put the kids first, and he’s very understanding with my schedule changing, with filming,” JWoww explained, adding that Roger is “very understanding” of the fact that she doesn’t have a typical “9-to-5” schedule.
She also confirmed that when she takes the kids on longer Jersey Shore trips she makes sure Roger “gets them extra” at other times to make up for it.
When JWoww and Zack got engaged in 2021, he said on his podcast, “I’m happy for her. I’m happy for them. From what I know, he’s good to my children. Jenni seems very happy. They seem very happy together.”
