Exposed: ‘RHOC’ Newbie Jennifer Pedranti Battling Estranged Husband in Divorce Court, Demanding Spousal Support
April 26 2023, Published 10:00 a.m. ET
Real Housewives of Orange County newbie Jennifer Pedranti has been battling her estranged husband in court for months — and the drama is set to unfold in the new season, RadarOnline.com has learned.
On Tuesday, Bravo released the new trailer for season 17 of the reality show. In addition, it confirmed rumors that Jennifer was set to be the newest cast member.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, back in March 2022, Jennifer’s husband William filed for divorce after 18 years of marriage.
In the petition, which was filed without a lawyer, he listed the date of marriage as September 21, 2002, and the date of separation as January 3, 2021. In his filing, William cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
In the court documents, he listed their minor children as Dawson, 15, Greyson, 13, Everleigh, 11, and Dominic, 8. On her Instagram profile, Jennifer said she was the mother to 6 children. It’s unclear if the other two children are adults.
He asked the court to award joint legal and physical custody of the kids. William told the court he was on board with paying Jennifer spousal support but asked that his separate property be awarded to him.

In the release, Bravo teased that Jennifer’s storyline will include allegations that she cheated on her husband with her now boyfriend. She was brought into the group by her friend Tamra.
