Canadian authorities said Wednesday that Ryan Jenkins, a contestant on VH1’s “Megan Wants a Millionaire” and “I Love Money 3,” had a previous conviction for assault on an unidentified woman. Jenkins is a Canadian national and operates Skyhomes in Calgary, which sells million-dollar-plus apartments and homes. He is listed as the chief executive on the company website.
Jenkins and Fiore were married in Las Vegas, according to police. Fiore’s mother questioned the legitimacy of the union. But, she said they had been together since March and that she was unaware of any significant issues in the relationship.
In related news, VH1 issued a statement today in the wake of news that Jenkins was a person of interest in Fiore’s murder. Fiore was found strangled in a suitcase in Buena Park.
“Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on ‘Megan Wants A Millionaire’, an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1. The show completed production at the end of March. Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family.”
