Who is Jennifer Pedranti’s Boyfriend? What Happened to Ryan Boyajian?

When Jennifer Pedranti was introduced to viewers on Season 17 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, they also met her then-boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian.

Ryan quickly made waves on the show, clashing with Tamra Judge over rumors she had heard about him at her former business, CUT Fitness, and facing skepticism from some of the other women about his intentions.

Despite the drama, Ryan and Jennifer decided to tune out the negativity and announced their engagement in April 2024.

The yoga studio owner started dating Ryan in September 2020, while she was still legally married to her ex-husband, William “Will” Pedranti.

In an interview in October 2023, Ryan shared how their relationship evolved after meeting at CUT Fitness.

“In the first six months at the gym, Jenn and I went from not knowing each other to exchanging greetings like ‘Hello,’ ‘Good morning,’ and ‘Goodbye,’ and eventually, we started communicating more,” he explained, noting that their emotional connection did not become physical until after Jennifer and Will had fully separated.

Jennifer began filming RHOC Season 17 in 2021, the same year Ryan purchased an engagement ring.

Reflecting on the season in the fall of 2023, Ryan remarked that the challenges they faced only strengthened their bond. “The silver lining in the season is that everything has only brought Jenn and I’s relationship closer,” he said.

In April 2024, Ryan proposed during a trip to the Bahamas, a favorite summer destination for both of their families. The engagement ring he chose featured a cushion-cut diamond surrounded by five carats of diamonds.

Jennifer shared her excitement with saying, “This is the second marriage for both Ryan and me, so we used to talk about maybe getting matching tattoos on our left ring fingers that only we would understand. And then this guy surprises me with a ring that just blows me away.”
