By Allison Crist

Jennifer Pedranti's inaugural season of The Real Housewives of Orange County was one for the books — and she's not even done yet, as Part 2 of the Season 17 reunion is still to come.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Part 1 aired on Oct. 4, and it was during the episode that Jennifer was asked to look back on all the drama that resulted from her relationship with her boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian. To hear what she had to say and how the other ladies feel about the couple, as well as where Jennifer and Ryan stand today, keep reading.

Why Ryan Boyajian Wasn't at the RHOC Season 17 Reunion

Before the O.C. ladies could dive into the topic of Jenn's relationship, host Andy Cohen addressed the fact that Ryan turned down the opportunity to address the drama on the reunion stage. More specifically, Andy said, "We invited Ryan to tell his side of the story; He declined. Why didn't he want to be here?" 

"He has history with Tamra [Judge] and Eddie [Judge]," Jennifer explained. "And he said if [he] sit[s] here with Tamra and if she goes at him and he goes back, he just looks like an asshole for talking to a woman that way. He just said, 'It's a no-win for me.'"

Speaking of Jennifer and Ryan's history of tension with Tamra and Eddie, the two 'Wives attempted to sort out their issues at the reunion. Tamra, for her part, insisted that she simply wanted "better" for Jenn. 

"I feel like she's defending him and that's what's frustrating," Tamra said after Heather Dubrow asked why Jennifer was "being attacked" for her relationship with Ryan. "And I just want better for you." 

Jenn, however, said, "I am more loved than I've even been loved. I'm more prioritized and I'm so happy with him."

Ultimately, the pair "agreed to disagree" regarding the drama. As Tamra put it, "I hope that he's changed and I hope that you are so happy because you deserve happiness. You're an amazing person."

Fans watched Jennifer and Ryan have an in-depth conversation about marriage earlier this season. At the time, Jenn admitted that the idea of taking the next step was "scary," because Ryan had hooked up with someone else when they were on a break.

Today, it turns out that the couple continues to talk about marriage "all the time," Jennifer said at the reunion. What's more, Ryan even "bought a ring." 

"He's ready," she added, before referencing her ongoing divorce. "He's just waiting on me. He's waiting on [a] divorce."
