When asked if he liked having an ex-porn star, Jenna Jameson, for a girlfriend, Ortiz explained that the fact that Jameson is no longer in the porn business is important to him.
"I like ex-porn star," he said. "She got out of it. That's why I'm with her, is she got out of the business. I couldn't date a chick who did porn."
But he added that he has nothing personally against pornography: "I love watching porn, I can't say I'm not a watcher because I'm a watcher before I dated her, I can't say I'm not. I'm an average guy."
