Jennifer Reveals ‘Mommy Talks’ She Had With Ryan
“It was an adjustment,” the yoga teacher told Us Weekly.
“We’re still here and it’s amazing now. Ryan is so organized and I learned that I did everything for the kids. Ryan made me more organized. I made Ryan a little more flexible and we’re totally settled in now,” Jennifer explained.
But not everything was smooth sailing. The RHOC newbie added, “I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t a period of time [where] “We all needed to settle down somewhere. At first it felt like we were at Ryan’s house, but now it feels like we’re all at home.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer has finalized her divorce from William Pedrante. She is happy with the turn of events. They have children Harrison, 20, Dawson, 17, Greyson, 14, Everly, 12, and Dominic, 10.
“I need peace between the parents,” she said of her next goal. “I know that’s a weird statement. It’s like he still feels like family to me. He’s a good father. So that’s all that matters.”
Ryan even made some of Jen’s parenting decisions. “He had to talk to me as a mom,” she revealed. “And when I realized it, I was like, ‘Why aren’t the kids helping pick up the trash? Why am I picking up everyone’s clothes?’ There are so many people in this house and little things that make me say, ‘You know what? You’ve made my life so much easier. Thank you.'”
But a harsh reality hits their world when Ryan’s name comes up in a gambling and theft scheme involving Shohei Otani, a former translator for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“The world got really scary at one point,” Jennifer recalls, “but you see what happens. Ryan had nothing to do with it. He’s fine. We’re fine.”
