Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer Pedranti revealed her Bravo salary as part fight with her ex-husband, William Pedranti, over spousal support, In Touch can exclusively report.
In Touch obtained the income and expense declaration filed by Jennifer, 47, in her divorce battle with William, 52.
The reality star and yoga studio owner said she has a degree in marketing.
She said was not employed during the 18-year marriage “as she dedicated her time to raising their four children.”
She said her income varies but revealed she pulled in $15,000 last month. Her average monthly income is $10,740. Jennifer added that she is paid $7,500 per episode of Real Housewives of Orange County.
She listed the amount of money she had in the bank as “nominal.” Jennifer listed her monthly expenses as $0. Jennifer recently moved in with her fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, who her attorney listed her as “boyfriend” in the documents.
Jennifer said each month she spends $3,000 on groceries, $500 on healthcare, $250 on childcare, $1,750 on eating out, $75 for her phone, $100 on cleaning, $2,000 on clothes, $500 on entertainment, $1,471 on car expenses, $130 on a pet, $125 for a gym membership, $1,000 on other expenses for the kids for a grand total of $10,914.
She said she owes Ryan $5,000 for a loan he provided her. She also owes another $40,000 to her parents.
In the docs, Jennifer did reveal that her yoga business turned a profit in August. The business earned $10,000 in profit and then another $7,000 profit in September. Jennifer and William wed in 2002 and split in 2022. The exes finalized a settlement in June.
Per their deal, William agreed to pay $1,735 a month in spousal support and another $4,674 a month in child support.
As In Touch first reported, earlier this month, William asked the court to terminate his spousal support payments and reduce his child support obligations.
He argued that Jennifer was currently living with Ryan and did not have a ton of expenses.
He asked the court to ax the spousal support due to Jennifer’s new living situation.
Per their settlement, Jennifer and William agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their four minor children: Dawson, Greyson, Everleigh, and Dominic.
The order said the children would live with Jennifer.
In his recent motion, William argued for the child support to be lowered due to Dawson moving in with him in April. William also said his income had dropped drastically in the past couple of months.
On top of that, William accused Jennifer of harassing him and showing up to his home despite him asking her not to come.
In her newly filed response, Jennifer asked the court not to terminate her spousal support. Her lawyer argued, “[Jennifer] would not be able to earn enough money to maintain the standard of living that was established during their marriage.”
“Jennifer supported [William’s] career aspirations as an attorney,” her lawyer added.
“[Jennifer] is the primary caregiver for their minor children aged 9 to 17. Increasing the [Jennifer’s] work hours beyond the current schedule would conflict with the best interests of the children.”
Jennifer said she requires assistance to cover essential living expenses for herself and their children.
She said, “While [William] currently covers healthcare expenses, additional support is needed to meet the financial requirements for the children’s activities, as well as their food and clothing expenses.”
Jennifer said she has “limited assets.” She also accused William of failing to pay her one-half of the proceeds from their former home, as required by their settlement. Jennifer’s lawyer said, “This was the main community asset. As a result, [Jennifer] has very little in assets other than bank accounts and a vehicle.”
In a declaration, Jennifer said, “William is behind approximately $22,000 in his support obligation to me and the kids.”
She added, “I believe it is unfair to terminate spousal support because I am cohabitating with Ryan. The ONLY reason I am cohabitating with Ryan is because William left me with no other option.”
Jennifer accused William of violating their divorce deal and failing to pay her $267,000 from the home sale.
“Had I received my half portion of the proceeds when William received it (which he should have done), I would have had the ability to pay my lease, and I would not have been evicted,” she said, “Or, I would have had the means to secure my own place without Ryan. It would not be equitable for the court to consider my cohabitation with Ryan as a basis to end my support when William’s bad conduct forced me to do so. Furthermore, William was also aware at the time we entered the Judgment that I was cohabitating with Ryan. Therefore, it is not a change of circumstance warranting consideration to terminate spousal support.”
Jennifer also denied making mean or disparaging comment to William.
She said, “William will not communicate with me at all about our children, and simply ignores me when I post on Our Family Wizard about the kids. The court will note none of my messages are harassing, mean, or disparaging.”
The reality star added, “Please also note William has not responded to one of my several messages. If William would communicate with me, I would not need to go to his house or try to communicate with him live.”
Jennifer continued, “However, when he does not follow custody orders and ignores me on Our Family Wizard, it makes it extremely difficult to coordinate how to get the kids to where they need to go, or to find out if he will exercise his parenting time or not.”
The court has yet to rule on the matter.
