The RHOC cast member also shared big updates on her youngest kids, Everleigh and Dominic Pedranti.
As she prepared to tie the knot with Ryan Boyajian, The Real Housewives of Orange County mom took to Instagram to share another round of family updates. Jennifer began by posting a video of her teenage son Greyson Pedranti walking in their driveway toward a big â and very fancy â birthday surprise: a brand new BMW.

âSixteen,â the OC mom captioned the clip. âWe are so proud of you. Grey you DESERVE it!â
As Greyson began registering the moment, Jenniferâs fiancĂ©, Ryan, congratulated the birthday boy on another year around the sun.
âHappy 16!â Ryan said. âYes, sir. Itâs already done. You deserve it.â
Needless to say, Greyson was in disbelief.
âAre you serious? Actually? Wait, what?â Greyson asked before hugging his mom and soon-to-be stepdad.
âHow amazing is that? Thatâs your car!â Jennifer said. âYou have a nicer car than me!â
Jennifer Pedranti shares updates on her daughter Everleigh and son Dominic
After presenting Greyson with his new ride, Jennifer shared some exciting moments for her two youngest children, daughter Everleigh and son Dominic. The former officially began high school this week and was understandably nervous about the new chapter.Â
âDay 1 High School,â Jennifer captioned an August 19 video of her daughterâs ride to school.
Although Everleigh was all smiles, Jennifer asked her girl why she was a bit scared and nervous.
âI donât know. Just the new school,â the daughter replied.
âHigh school? Thatâs exciting,â Jennifer added.
The family milestones didnât end there. Jennifer also revealed that her youngest son, Dominic, was no longer in elementary school. She posted the update in an Instagram photo of her boy rocking a backpack with a folder in hand.
âHow is he starting MIDDLE SCHOOL??â she captioned the Story.
Jennifer Pedranti opens up about her blended family life with Ryan Boyajian
Jennifer and her ex-husband, Will Pedranti, began fostering Dominic when he was 11 months old and eventually adopted him. The former couple got married in September 2002 and separated roughly two decades later. Jennifer and Will share four children: Greyson, Everleigh, and adult sons Harrison and Dawson Pedranti. Harrison is studying mechanical engineering at the University of Southern California, and Dawson recently began Marine Corps boot camp.
The Oklahoma-born Housewife opened up about her dynamic with Will in a 2024 interview with BravoTV.com, stating their coparenting relationship was âtruly non-existent.â
âFor me, itâs so frustrating,â she said. âRyan and Will, [thereâs] nothing [between them]. And I have to say Ryan has picked up way more slack than he shouldâve, and so thereâs frustration for Ryan.â
Ryan has two adult children â son Cole and daughter Tyler â from a previous relationship.Â
âBlending families is not easy,â Jennifer said. âYou move in with someone, and you think you know how they parent, and then you realize you parent very different. So, there is an adjustment period. We definitely went through an adjustment period.â
Jennifer and Ryan got engaged in April 2024 after nearly four years of dating. Get more details about their âcasualâ wedding plans.
