Jennifer Pedranti brought back a special souvenir from her trip to the Bahamas: a diamond ring.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star revealed that her boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian, popped the question during their tropical getaway last week.
“We’re both super excited and couldn’t be happier,” she told People Monday. “We always say our love is a gift, and this feels like icing on the cake.”
Pedranti, 46, added: “It’s a magical moment for us. I truly am the luckiest girl in the world.
Thursday’s proposal was sentimental for the couple as Boyajian, 46, got down on one knee at one of their family’s “favorite spots” on the beach.
“We take all the kids there, usually the first week of summer, so it was important to me to do it in a place that means something to us,” he explained. “Now we can always go to the little sandy perch by the stairs and remember this important milestone together.” It’s so special that this happened while we were in our happy place.
While thinking about the proposal, Bravolebrity claimed she didn’t see it coming.

“I was shocked,” Pedranti admitted, explaining that they were on their way to lunch when Boyajian unexpectedly took a detour.
“He said to me, ‘Come here for a second’ and we walked on the beach. And he pulled me in and I said, “Are you doing something?” And the second he laid down in the sand, I don’t even remember what he said because I was so surprised.
Snaps obtained by People showed the perfect moment where Boyajian knelt in front of the Bravo star while wearing a white swimsuit, baseball cap and sunglasses.
As for Pedranti, she waved her arms in the air at the sight of the ring while rocking a zebra-print bikini.
A close-up showed the stunning center stone of the stunning ring filled with more than five carats and lined with smaller diamonds.
Pedranti said she didn’t expect her now-fiancé to propose to her with such a massive rock, especially after they agreed to only get tattoos on their ring fingers when they got married.
“And then this guy proposes with a ring that knocks my socks off,” she continued.
The couple began dating in September 2020, while Jennifer was still married to her ex-husband, William Pedranti.
The businessman filed for divorce on January 3, 2021 after 18 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
William and Jennifer — who share children Harrison, 20, Dawson, 17, Greyson, 15, Everleigh, 13, and Dominic, 10 — are still going through divorce proceedings, according to People.
As for Boyajian, he shares Cole, 20, and Tyler, 18, from previous relationships.
