Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley and Roger Mathews always appeared to be "very much in love".
The 32-year-old star recently filed for divorce from Roger – who she wed in October 2015 – citing "irreconcilable differences", but a source close to the celebrity couple has admitted to being shocked by their split.
The insider told People: "They always seemed very stable and very much in love.
"Roger was always supporting her at events, nights out or any place she needed to be. I always thought he was a good partner for her – much better than the guy she dated before him."
The couple – who have kids Meilani, four, and Greyson, two, together – started dating in 2010.
And the insider doubts whether JWoww will be able to find another man who is "more devoted to her than Roger is".
The source explained: "I don’t think she will find anyone who’s more devoted to her than Roger is.
"You can see how much he loves his kids and what a good father he is. Hopefully they work out their differences."
Meanwhile, Roger has insisted he’s "not done" with their relationship and doesn’t want to be a single parent to their children.
In a video posted to Instagram, he said: "Alright, so here you go blood thirsty b*****ds who have to know what’s going on.
"You’re the same people who go to a hockey game to see a fight breakout and go to Nascar to see somebody wreak in a car and get mangled. Nah, I’m kidding some of you are probably actually genuinely concerned. I appreciate that…
"I’m not done fighting. I am going to win my wife back.
"I’m going to win her affection back, I am going to win her love back. I have no intentions on being a single dad. We’re in counselling so there is hope. It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings."
