“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Jennifer Pedranti shared that she and her partner of nearly four years, Ryan Boyajian, are engaged.
The couple confirmed the big news in a joint April 2024 interview with People magazine. Pedranti stated that Boyajian asked her to be his wife as they were enjoying their Bahamas vacation in mid-April 2024.
“We’re both super stoked and couldn’t be happier. We always say that our love is a gift, and this just feels like the icing on the cake,” said the 46-year-old. “This is a magical time for us. I really am the luckiest girl in the world.”
Pedranti also stated that she had not anticipated her now-fiance to propose marriage.
“I was shocked,” said the mother of five. “He was like, ‘Come here for a second’ and we walked down on the beach. And he pulled me in, and I said to him, ‘Are you doing something?’ And the second he got down in the sand, I don’t even remember what he said because I was so surprised.”
Pedranti also shared that Boyajian let her parents and brothers know his plans to propose prior to asking for her hand in marriage. The RHOC star stated that she was touched by his gesture.
“I say this all the time. I am so prioritized. He communicates everything with me. And he is my best friend. I get to do life with my best friend,” said Pedranti.

Pedranti and Boyajian’s relationship was a big topic of discussion in the 17th season of RHOC.

The 46-year-old stated that was not the case. As fans are aware, she has also repeatedly stated that Boyajian was never unfaithful in their relationship.
“That’s like the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I’m not trying to be rude. But no,” said Pedranti.
She also stated that remarks about her relationship with Boyajian have “taken up a lot of headspace.” She clarified that Boyajian has managed to handle the criticism in a calm manner.
“I’m so grateful Ryan manages it the way that he does. I can just headspin about it,” continued Pedranti. “Like, ‘This doesn’t make sense. I don’t know this.’ But he keeps me a little bit more grounded with it. And he sees it for what it is.”
The reality television personality also stated that her and Boyajian’s relationship was not negatively impacted by RHOC.
“We, thank god, are just in a great space,” said Pedranti.
