ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA: 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Jennifer Pedranti has been in a 2-year-long relationship with Ryan Boyajian. However, she still does not seem ready to tie the knot.

Jen then explained in the confessional video that she worries sometimes. And, the reason behind her worry is Ryan doing well in his career. She adds, "Because in his mind he's still somewhat free and I worry about the second that the rings go on Ryan feeling trapped."
"I'm not gonna be a part of a second failed marriage," adds Jen. She indeed is refraining from hurrying into marriage despite Ryan being all ready for it.
