Mike Shouhed confirmed his new romance with Nazie Eghbal Morovati in a post shared on Instagram on Thursday.
Months after settling a lawsuit his former fiancée, Paulina Ben-Cohen, filed against him after an alleged caught-on-camera assault, the 47-year-old Shahs of Sunset alum has found love with someone he once crushed on in high school.
“You make everything better!” Mike proclaimed in the caption of a March 12 video of the two of them. “Thank you for loving me the way you do … Crazy to know I have had a crush on you since I was 15 … I loved you before I had you & now I am obsessed.”
On her own Instagram page, Nazi revealed that she is a “mom,” “lover of life,” “stylist,” “lefty,” “LA native,” and “advocate for children [and] animal rights.”
Weeks before going public, Mike, who was previously married to Jessica Parido, 37, was seen gushing over Nazie in the comments section of one of her posts, writing, “The hottest. Smartest. Kindest. Most caring. Most wonderful human I have ever met. You’re 1 in a million. Anyone who gets to have you in their life is very lucky! Love you.”
As fans may have seen, Mike seemingly shaded Shahs of Sunset‘s new spinoff, The Valley: Persian Style, which features his former co-stars, Reza Farahan, 52, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi, 44, and Mercedes “MJ” Javid, 53, in January, sharing a throwback photo of himself on Watch What Happens Live and writing, “can not be duplicated,” in the caption.
In response, Reza told Entertainment Tonight that the post “came across very bitter.”
“It came across very bitter to me, but I put myself in his shoes, and if I were the Mike and he was the Reza, I would move to Uganda. I would not be able to handle being here with my old cast moving on and having a new show. So I can’t blame him,” he admitted.
“But I don’t think it landed the way he thought it was gonna land,” Reza added.
Mike Shouhed was featured in a full-time role on Shahs of Sunset in each of its nine seasons, which aired from March 2012 to August 2021.
