Jenn Pedranti says Vicki Gunvalson may be disappointed that Michael Smith hasn’t proposed
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Jenn Pedranti spoke exclusively with Page Six‘s Virtual Reali-Tea about Gunvalson and Smith’s romance.
Pedranti believes Gunvalson may be disappointed that Smith has not proposed to her.
Pedranti added that she was “surprised” to learn that Smith had already bought the ring. However, he has allegedly refused to propose until Gunvalson is a “good girl” for 90 consecutive days.
Gunvalson said the “good girl” remark was made jokingly. However, Pedranti believes it still may not feel good to hear something like that from the man you love.
She said, “One thing I know about Vicki is she’s a girl, and she has feelings, and you love your man. Any girl would be like, ‘He’s sitting on the ring; why do I not have it?’”
She added, “That’s got to be hard for Vicki.” Pedranti said that if she were in Gunvalson’s position, she would stop “performing” in the relationship.
The couple’s potential engagement became a major topic after the reported ring drama.
During the after show, Tamra Judge claimed that Smith had bought the ring and proposed to Gunvalson. Judge also claimed that he later took the ring back.
However, Gunvalson denied those claims. She said Smith bought the engagement ring and has kept it safely, but he has neither proposed nor taken it back.
Pedranti, who joined RHOC in 2023, said, “Vicki will tell you right off, ‘I’m not talking about this, I’m not talking about this, I don’t want to talk about this.’ So, if it comes up, she gets frustrated.”
Pedranti also appeared to have mixed feelings about her friendship with Gunvalson.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo every Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
