Jennifer Pedranti and boyfriend Ryan Boyajian have navigated cheating speculation throughout her debut season on The Real Housewives of Orange County.
“We have had a lot of conversations about it.

“What? I mean, what are you even talking about? Like, you think I’m gonna stay in a cheating relationship because I’m worried I’m not gonna get cast?” Jennifer — who shares five children with William, 51 — told Us. “That’s like the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m not trying to be rude,…
