Jennifer Pedranti has heard enough criticism of her relationship from two seasons of Real Housewives of Orange County. Ryan Boyajian was accused of being a womanizer last season. In Season 18, the focus was on how he made his money.
Ryan side-stepped a legal scandal that allegedly involved his friend Matt. He now has immunity in the case, which must have been a huge relief to the couple. But the incident rocked Ryan and Jennifer’s world at the time the news broke. Now, the RHOC star wants fans to know that she is confident in her decision to stand by her fiance.
Jennifer Pedranti “can only go up from here”
Jennifer exclusively told Bravo’s The Daily Dish that she’s “excited” for where she and Ryan are now.
“My eyes are open. I actually see things very clearly,” the RHOC favorite said. “I’m probably in the best spot I’ve been in in a long time, and I know in other people’s opinions, it’s a low spot, but I feel like I can only go up from here. And I’m excited.”
Tamra Judge was at the forefront in terms of attacking Ryan. But Jennifer lost the support of Emily Simpson and Heather Dubrow, who repeatedly commented about her financial decisions. However, the yoga studio owner is optimistic.
“I’m excited about where I’m at. I’m excited about where my kids are,” she continued. “I’m excited about forging friendships with these women, still learning about them and the future. I’m excited about it.”
Jennifer and Ryan have created “a home for everyone” in the blended family
Now that Ryan has legal immunity in the investigation, the couple can focus on other things. Jennifer and her four younger children live with Ryan and have finally settled in after an adjustment period. She previously revealed that they may be buying a new house.
“Ryan and I understand everything is so expensive right now, so it’s like, are we better off to put money here?” Jennifer shared. “So for now, it’s either putting some renovations in Ryan’s [house] or looking [for a new house], but we have not even started looking.”
“It took a minute to settle in [to Ryan’s house],” the Bravolebrity continued. “There were times when I kind of thought, ‘What did we do?’ Because it was too much for Ryan. I felt like I was riding the kids about things I didn’t used to ride the kids about. Now, I can say I think it’s home for everyone. Like we all feel home. We all have our routine, we all have space, we feel settled. And I have to say, that’s a priceless feeling.”
