Where Jennifer Pedranti and Ryan Boyajian Stand with the Rest of the RHOC Cast

Though Jennifer joined RHOC as a friend of Tamra's, things fell apart in their already-fraught relationship on Season 18. "My friendship with Tamra, I think, [was] more important for me. I think I placed more value on my friendship with Tamra than she did," Jennifer explained the post-Season 18 interview. "And, so, I got to a good spot with being OK with that. You know, this is who she is within our friendship. I learned what I'm comfortable with with her, and what I'm not."

Jennifer added that she felt like things really deteriorated between them when Tamra wasn't being supportive of her relationship with Ryan Boyajian.

"And then, being part of my friend is either you don't have to love Ryan, but you don't get to keep bashing my partner," she said. "I'm gonna marry this man, and this is the home me and the kids live in."

As for the future of her and Tamra's friendship, Jennifer admitted, "I don't know what happens; the wheels just fall off with her. It just never stays [with her]."

After the eviction drama at the beginning of the season — when Jennifer and her five kids had to leave the rental home Gina helped them find — the ladies are on good terms. 

"Gina's awesome. I didn't see her side..." Jennifer said. "When things started falling apart in living in that house, I was in constant contact with the homeowner, so I was trying to alleviate Gina from my mess. Little did I know [is that] it was causing her more of a problem."

She also noted that Gina has done a lot of reflecting, and they're in a "great spot" today.

"You know what I love about her? After the big blow-up and after all of the things, she'll sit down and go, 'I was too hard on you. I should have never have said this.' And I'll say, 'Gina, I didn't even see your perspective. I thought that you would have sympathy... I wasn't thinking about your real estate career,'" Jennifer continued. "She's a woman who — we will talk through it. She's amazing... Gina's so cool."

Jennifer and Emily experienced some ups and downs throughout Season 18, but in her post-season interview, Jennifer said, "With Emily, I still see a soul. I see pain, I see — I'm not her mom. I had, actually, a very opposite upbringing than she had. And she wants to be mad at me because I have love and I have support and all of the things she did not have, but that's not my fault. And I think if Emily gave me a shot, what an amazing friend I would love to be to Emily."

"I feel like she just needs to heal," Jennifer added. "And instead of healing, she's just lashing, and that's not right. I feel like she's acknowledging that she has growing to do there."

Jennifer went on to note that she admires who Emily is as a wife and a mother. "I look up to her. I love her marriage; I love the mom that she is to those kids, and I feel empowered by Emily, and I think Emily's open to self-work..." she continued. "I think Emily wants to grow as a person. I'm hopeful with Emily."

Jennifer and Will have been separated for years now, but they still haven't mastered their co-parenting relationship or finalized their divorce. As she explained on the post-Season 18 podcast, "Divorce sucks, I say that all the time. Divorce just sucks, and it sucks for the kids. Ryan and his ex co-parent amazing[ly] and me and my ex do not, so it's frustrating. You want to be honest, it's frustrating for Ryan. Because I do not have the relationship with my ex where it's like, 'Oh, I'm going to call Will and make sure he's got the kids.' We have the kids most of the time, [I] wouldn't change that, but my co-parenting situation feels chaotic, because there is no communication, so you never really know what to expect. And I said, with the finalization of my divorce, I hope that healing happens for my ex and I, and I do hope we start heading in these positive directions."
