Mike Shouhed‘s ex-wife, Jessica Parido, is engaged.
Just days after the Shahs of Sunset alum’s other ex, former fiancee Paulina Ben-Cohen, went public with her new boyfriend on Instagram, Jessica, 34, took to her social media account to confirm her engagement to George McGee and share a series of photos of her “best week ever.”
“YES,” Jessica wrote in the caption of a November 24 post, which featured two photos, one of which saw her holding the hand of her new fiance and another that included the two of them with her four-year-old son.
According to what appears to be George’s LinkedIn page, he is an “ex-professional footballer [and] D1 athlete, turned talent advisor.”

In a second Instagram post, shared on November 27, Jessica gave her fans and followers a look at her “best week EVER,” which featured photos and videos of her and George with their son throughout Los Angeles.
As Shahs fans may recall, Jessica and Mike, 45, tied the knot in March 2015. Then, just eight months later, Jessica filed for divorce amid rumors of Mike’s potential infidelity.
Years later, during an interview with Reality Blurb, Mike said “not really” when asked if he and Jessica were still in touch.
“There’s no reason for us to talk,” he explained. “She’s moved on. She’s in a good place. I wish her well. She’s amazing. She just wasn’t the right person for me. She’s happy and I’m happy and that’s exactly what’s supposed to happen.”
As for the reveal of Paulina’s new romance, that came over a year after she and Mike called off their engagement following his domestic violence arrest.
Following the arrest, Paulina’s attorney, Josh Ritter, of Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP, shared a statement with Reality Blurb in regard to their “sad situation.”
“We are working with the authorities to seek a just and fair outcome to this sad situation. The family appreciates your space and respect for their privacy during this time,” the statement read.
Shahs of Sunset was canceled in April 2022 after nine seasons.
