Ricko DeWilde Wife: Is he Married to Rona Vent?
Information on Rona Vent is very little to non, other than her being a homemaker. According to a post on Instagram from Ricko, Rona also seems to be a skilled hunter. She has appeared in some episodes alongside Ricko on the show but is nowhere to be found on social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Ricko and Rona have been together for a long time. Their love life is known to be started in 2013, but they seem to be together from long before that.
The couple has a huge family of 7, including them, but there is no sign of them being married. They have been living happily together as an unmarried couple.
Kids:
Ricko and Rona have a big family. They have five children, three girls and two boys. Their eldest is their daughter Simone Ashlynn DeWilde who is 17 (2022).
His other two daughters are Maya Denae and Skarlett Haze, and his sons are Keenan Nulitna and Skyler Blue. The couple, when not on the show in Alaska, is raising their children in Fairbanks.
All of the sources mention the couple having five children, but Ricko, in his Instagram account time and again, writes about his other daughter Sarah Salazar who is in Kotzebue, and how much he misses her.
He also writes about him not being able to see her in years and how it would be awesome to get to see her again. There is no information about who Sarah’s mother is.

Ricko adds alot to the show. It is wonderful to see the patience he has with his children and his strong belief in his heritage. He has shared some very difficult memories about his brothers deaths. It is so touching and might help others appreciate their siblings more and forgive their flaws. I hope he stays on the show for a long time, he adds a wonderful balance.
