Reality Star Ryan Jenkins’ Ex-Fiancee Calls Him a ‘Sweetheart’

Paulina Chmielecka says her ex-fiancee and reality star Ryan Jenkins was a "good person." This testimony of character comes after Jenkins was deemed a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife Jasmine Fiore and then found dead in a motel room in Hope, British Columbia.

"Our friends are pretty much in shock," Chmielecka tells the "Today" show host Matt Lauer after hearing the news of Jenkins. "I can picture him maybe having an argument with [Fiore] but to take it to the next level which is murder and then mutilation ... I really can't take myself there."

Chmielecka tells Lauer that she saw "no signs of violence" when she was in a relationship with Jenkins and refers to him as a "sweetheart." She says they broke off their engagement because Jenkins wanted an open relationship but tells Lauer they ended on a "good note."
