Shannon Beador Defends Jennifer Pedranti & Boyfriend Ryan: "Just Want to Say..."
RHOC's Jennifer Pedranti and Ryan Boyajian have Shannon Storms Beador coming to their defense.
Shannon Storms Beador is defending Jennifer Pedranti's decision to move in with her then-boyfriend, now-fiancé Ryan Boyajian on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18.
The longtime orange-holder, more specifically, stuck up for Jenn on the Oct. 10 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen as her fellow guest Symone Sanders was playing a game dubbed "The Bravo Report," and one of her questions read, "Do you think it's a smart idea for Jenn to move her whole family in with Ryan?"
Symone wasn't a fan of the idea herself noting, "I don't know this life where multiple people are just footing the bills here and there and every other which way, so I would suggest that she gather her agency and get a job."
Shannon, however, chimed in to argue, "She does have a job."
Symone questioned if Shannon was referring to the yoga classes Jenn teaches, but Shannon replied otherwise before further defending both Jennifer and Ryan: "And I just wanna say, I really appreciate Ryan stepping up, you know? He brought her whole family in."
Does Jenn still live with Ryan after RHOC Season 18?
Yes. After Jennifer moved out of her rented home because she was evicted, she and the five children she shares with ex-husband William Pedranti moved in with Ryan, and they continue to live together. Blending their families has been difficult, though, especially since Ryan is the dad to two kids himself.
"It was an adjustment," Jenn told BravoTV.com in July. "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. So, there is an adjustment period, we definitely went through an adjustment period."
That said, the strength of Jenn's relationship with Ryan has carried her through the tough times.
"He is my best friend, truly," she added. "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."
Who is Ryan from Real Housewives of Orange County?
Jennifer began dating Ryan in September 2020 while she was still legally married to her ex-husband, William Pedranti. Jenn has since filed for divorce and continued dating Ryan, and today, they're engaged. Ryan proposed to Jenn during a trip to the Bahamas in April 2024.
As for Ryan's career, new 'Wife Katie Ginella asked on RHOC Season 18, Episode 2 what he does for a living. Replied Jenn, "Well, nothing now. He did mortgage for years and years, and then he's done real estate development since then. But nothing, like, there's no office. He just kind of, um ... I feel like he just sits around and like plays in the sunshine. He kind of lives the dream life, I always tell him."
