Jennifer Pedranti returned from her Bahamas trip with a sparkling surprise—a diamond ring. The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star shared that her boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian, proposed during their tropical vacation last week.
“We’re both super stoked and couldn’t be happier,” Jennifer exclaimed. “We always say that our love is a gift, and this just feels like the icing on the cake.”
At 46, Pedranti feels overwhelmingly fortunate. “This is a magical time for us. I really am the luckiest girl in the world,” she said. The proposal, which took place last Thursday, held deep sentimental value.
Ryan chose a beloved beach spot frequented by the couple and their children at the start of each summer. “It was important for me to do it in a spot that means something to us,” Ryan explained.
Reflecting on the moment, Jennifer admitted she was completely taken aback. The couple was headed to lunch when Ryan suggested a detour to the beach. “He pulled me in, and as he got down in the sand, I was so surprised I don’t even remember what he said,” she confessed.
Photographs showed Ryan, clad in white swim trunks, a baseball cap, and sunglasses, kneeling before Jennifer, who was ecstatic, waving her arms in the air, dressed in a zebra-print bikini.
A close-up of the engagement ring revealed a stunning center stone of over five carats, surrounded by smaller diamonds. The couple has been together since September 2020, while Jennifer was still legally married to her estranged husband, William Pedranti.
