Paulina Ben-Cohen Shows Off Her Stunning Engagement Ring from Mike Shouhed

Part 1 of the Shahs of Sunset Season 9 reunion was full of surprising moments, but nothing was more shocking than when Mike Shouhed revealed he had asked girlfriend Paulina Ben-Cohen to marry him. 

When Paulina joined the cast on the reunion couch, she looked gorgeous in a bright orange belly-baring two-piece gown. Her hair was slicked back into a low chignon, and she wore a glowing makeup look and gold hoop earrings. What we didn't know (at the time) was that, on her ring finger, she was wearing a massive new sparkler.

"I want to share something with you guys," Mike said to his cast mates' surprise, lifting Paulina's hand and showing off her new bauble. "We're engaged." And what a bauble it was: Paulina was wearing a dainty gold band, which was topped with a blinding, very large oval-shaped diamond. 

During the reunion, Paulina opened up about her relationship with Mike: "Our life is amazing," she shared. "We took one long vacation this year, and I wanted it to be alone with just him. And he said, 'No, if it's the only long trip that we're taking this year, you better bet we're going to take the kids...' While I was tanning and having my drinks, he's like, 'I got this.' Every single night, he bathes my kids, he brushes their teeth. He does stuff that no man, no man does for their kids, let alone step kids. And that's why I know, this time around is so different. The love and the connection that we have with each other, like I would not be able to live a day without him in my life. Like, honestly, I have told him before, I wouldn't live without him."
