Jessica Parido is the ex-wife of Shahs of Sunset star Mike Shouhed and even though the couple has been broken up for several years and Jessica has recovered from the drama of their fallout, her life is full of fascinating facts outside of Bravo. Since the show, Jessica has kept a low profile but still keeps her fans updated on her amazing new life. From Jessica’s early life to her starting a new family after her divorce from 42-year-old cast member Mike, there is a lot still to know about the former Shahs of Sunset star.
Viewers met Jessica during Shahs of Sunset season 2, joining the show as Mike’s girlfriend. She was only a friend of the cast, not a full-time cast member like Mike was. In 2015, Mike and Jessica were married at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles; however, the marriage didn’t last long. The couple was separated just eight months after their wedding, with Jessica filing for divorce a few months later citing irreconcilable differences. A year after Jessica filed, in 2016, Mike and Jessica were officially divorced. Now that she and Mike are over, here’s everything to know about Jessica.
Jessica was born on December 12, 1988, in Orange County, California, making the former reality television star 35 years old in 2024. Although Jessica was born in Orange County, her family is Iranian and Italian-American. Jessica’s dad is an executive at Fiji Water. Moreover, Jessica has shared that she is close with her younger sister, Kristina Parido. One of the reasons why Jessica is bonded to her younger sister is due to the role that she played in Jessica’s recovery from leukemia. Jessica was diagnosed with the devastating disease when she was 14 years old. When Kristina was only 12 years old, she donated bone marrow to Jessica. After years of chemotherapy, Jessica has become a cancer survivor.
Although Jessica has not appeared on Shahs of Sunset since her divorce from Mike was finalized in 2017, her career and personal life have only thrived off-screen. According to Jessica’s Instagram bio, she works as a Registered Nurse. She works at BH Plastic Surgery, Inc, which she has showcased on her social media. Jessica has even shared a few posts of herself in the last few years administering injections such as Botox. However, the last photo Jessica shared of her as an injector was from February 2021, over three years ago. Jessica also owns Symple Supplements, a health and beauty brand that sells vitamins.
Other than her thriving nurse career and her supplement brand, Jessica also has a jewelry brand called Stacked Gems. The company was started by Jessica and her Glam Envy business partner in March. Glam Envy closed its doors over eight years ago and Jessica was able to revive her online shop thanks to Stacked Gems. They include cute dainty designs that also stand out.
One can tell a lot from someone’s Instagram page, and Jessica’s offers the updates every Shahs of Sunset fan has been waiting for. Firstly, Jessica has moved on from Mike since their tumultuous split in 2016. Jessica is now married to Georgie McGee, who she’s been posting about on Instagram since late 2013. In an article from Reality Blurb, the pair got engaged in late November 2023; however, it’s unclear when the two got together. Jessica revealed they were married this March in a post as well. It’s safe to say the former Shahs of Sunset cast member has been living her best life on Instagram.
Other than her new man, Jessica has been traveling the world, which she showcases on the app. Jessica recently went to Egypt where she stayed at a fabulous resort. She traveled throughout Europe in late 2023, visiting places such as England, Italy, and Germany. Georgie accompanied her as well as her son, Liam. Fans clearly love Jessica’s content as she currently has 374,000 followers on Instagram.
On February 23, 2019, Jessica gave birth to a baby boy, her son Liam. Jessica has not shared who the father is or any other details about her son, including his name. Even though she’s remained tight-lipped, Jessica occasionally posts updates on her journey of motherhood on her Instagram. Jessica has confirmed the name of her son is Liam and he is super adorable. Liam is featured in a majority of Jessica’s content and will likely continue to share cute pictures of him. Liam has since turned five years old in 2024.
Other than welcoming her baby boy, Jessica has gotten remarried. As mentioned before, Jessica started dating a man named Georgie; however, it’s unclear when the two got together. They were engaged in November 2023 and were married on Valentine’s Day of this year, 2024. Jessica shared a few Instagram posts of the couple’s wedding, with one caption reading, “And they lived happily ever after.” The newlyweds were joined by Jessica’s son and the three of them seemed like one happy family. With Jessica’s son growing up and her getting married, Jessica’s life has changed for the better in 2024.
Jessica from Shahs Of Sunset has overcome mountains of adversity on and off of Bravo cameras. From her intense battle with cancer when she was young to giving birth to her baby boy and starting her life as a mother, Jessica is enjoying the rainbow after the storm. Now that she’s married, Jessica officially has the white picket fence life many people dream about having. While it is unlikely Jessica will return to reality TV, fans can rest easy knowing Jessica is content with her new life.
