Jennifer Reveals What Her Relationship with Ryan Is *Really* Like in Emotional Message: "Grateful"
RHOC cast member Jennifer Pedranti celebrated her fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, for having "the kindest heart."
Jennifer Pedranti has been going through a lot of major changes in her personal life — from her living situation to her divorce — but one thing has remained steady: her relationship with fiancé Ryan Boyajian.
The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member took to Instagram on August 19 to wish her man a happy birthday.
Jennifer shared a carousel of images with Ryan, from vacation selfies to photos from date nights out, on her feed. "Happy Birthday [Ryan Boyajian]... I can’t put into words how grateful I am to be your partner. I have my best friend, my partner, and my lover in one amazing man," she wrote in the caption of the post. "You have the kindest heart of anyone I’ve ever met."
Jennifer went on to share that she "never had so much adventure in [her] life, so much laughter" with anyone before.
"And I have NEVER been loved the way you love me," Jennifer, who was previously married to Will Pedranti, continued. "I know this is the greatest year coming for you, and I am the luckiest girl in the world to get to experience it by your side."

She also reflected on all of the places she's been to with Ryan in the four years since they began dating.
"I think I’ve been to a zillion concerts with you, Vegas more times than we could count, Bahamas like it’s in our backyard, and as incredible as those memories are.. it’s doing life with you, every single day.. building our DREAM," she added. "The kids and I can’t wait to celebrate you tonight. Happy Birthday, I love you."
Ryan did celebrate his birthday with loved ones. He shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of him blowing out the candles on a dessert. "Unconditional family love," he captioned the shot, in addition to including the word "Grateful."
Jennifer Pedranti and Ryan Boyajian's blended family
After Jennifer got evicted from the rental that castmate Gina Kirschenheiter found for her, she moved into Ryan's home with her five children. Ryan, who shares two adult kids with his ex-wife, was thrilled to welcome his then-girlfriend into his home.
During a visit to Bravo headquarters in July, Jennifer reflected on what it's been like to try to blend their families together.
"It was an adjustment," she said to BravoTV.com. "Blending families is not easy," she continued. "And Ryan and I were together going on four years now. But, you move in with someone, and you think you know how they parent, and then you realize you parent very different[ly]. So, there is an adjustment period, we definitely went through an adjustment period."
However, it didn't affect her romantic relationship with Ryan.
"He is my best friend, truly," she shared. "There is nothing about that man that I don't know, there's nothing about me he doesn't know. We see all sides of each other, the good, the bad, and the ugly."
Now, things are "amazing" between them. "I wish people knew them the way my kids do," she added. "He is a gift, for sure."
