Jennifer Pedranti's relationships

Jennifer’s divorce from William Pedranti

In June 2024, Jennifer and William "Will" Pedranti's divorce was formalized. The 18-year-married couple had fought a protracted and difficult court struggle to end their marriage. Jennifer has stated that she still feels a connection to her ex-husband, characterizing it as a “tether” that makes moving forward challenging, even after their legal issues have been resolved.

In an interview with Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap in August 2024, Jennifer Pedranti stated that she was relieved that the divorce was formally finalized, but she also noted that there were still issues.

“Unfortunately, I have no communication with my ex and so it’s hard. I’m so grateful that it’s finalized. I know people think, ‘OK, good. Here she goes.’ There’s still issues within it but we’re finalized and it was a long time coming," she said.

Jennifer and Will's separation and subsequent divorce were prominent storylines on RHOC, reflecting the personal struggles and adjustments Jennifer faced during this period.

Engagement to Ryan Boyajian

While Jennifer Pedranti was still legally married to Will Pedranti, she started dating Ryan in September 2020, as Jennifer told in RHOC debut. From their first meeting at CUT Fitness, their friendship developed into a meaningful romantic one. Ryan revealed that their friendship deepened due to their interactions at the gym, which helped build their bond over time.

Ryan also emphasized that their emotional connection did not become physical until after Jennifer's separation from Will was finalized. He noted an interview with The Daily Dish in October 2023,

"Jenn and I, in the first maybe six months of me being at the gym, it went from 'I don't know her' to 'Hello,' Good morning,' Goodbye,' to then we started to communicate."

While on vacation in the Bahamas in April 2024, Ryan proposed to Jennifer. Five carats of cushion-cut diamonds were set into the engagement ring. During the trip, Jennifer and Ryan shared pictures on Instagram, showcasing their time with each other and their children. The photos included moments with Ryan’s sons from a previous relationship and Jennifer’s five children.
