‘MAFS’ star Jessica Castro reacts to ex-husband Ryan de Nino’s sudden death

Ryan de Nino’s ex-wife, Jessica Castro, mourned the death of the “Married at First Sight” star in a statement following news of his death.

“I have not had contact with Ryan in years so I have/had no idea what his life entailed,” she exclusively told Page Six Friday evening.

“However, I do send my sincerest condolences to his family during this very difficult time,” she continued. “I can not imagine what they are going through. May he rest peacefully.”

De Nino died at the age of 40, TMZ reported Friday afternoon, with a family member telling the outlet that he died “suddenly” in New Jersey “earlier this week.”

At this time, the family will not be releasing further details about de Nino’s death, the outlet reported.

The reality star’s sister, Melissa DeNino, took to social media with a heartfelt tribute to her brother, along with throwback photos.

“He was fiercely loyal to those he loved,” she wrote. “He had a huge heart, always. I can’t explain what it’s like to lose a sibling.”

“Someone who’s been there from the beginning and shares the same memories,” Melissa concluded.

“No matter what we were going through, I loved him immensely. Life as I know it will never be the same.”

Castro and de Nino rose to fame on the hit reality series’ second season. The duo exchanged vows and, after a trial period, opted to remain together.

But shortly after the season aired, de Nino and Castro divorced.

In June 2015, de Nino took to social media with a cropped photo of a restraining order filed by Castro, noting that it “disgusted” him.

As The New York Post previously reported, Castro filed court papers in 2015 in which she claimed de Nino had allegedly made death threats against her and her family.

“I will break you into f–king pieces,” she alleged he said, according to a petition. “I will break your dad into pieces. I will make your whole family disappear — and your f–king dog-ass sister’s boyfriend.”

Castro also claimed de Nino allegedly made a slip-up at the “Married at. First Sight” reunion taping, when he was allegedly caught on a live mic saying, “She’s f–king dead. When I get back to Brooklyn, she’s f–king dead, this girl.”

A lawyer for Castro told ABC News at the time the priority was to protect her client from “all threats to her safety and well-being.”

Kinetic Content, the series’ producer, issued a statement to The Post in 2015, which said in part: “We don’t know all the details and can’t comment on the specifics. What we can say is that unfortunately, couples on the show can go through real divorces, and divorce can often be difficult.”
