'Shahs Of Sunset' Stars Mike Shouhed, Jessica Parido File For Divorce Eight Months After Tying The Knot; Was Cheating A Factor?
Looks like there's trouble in paradise for Mike Shouhed and Jessica Parido who fell in love in front of Bravo's cameras on "Shahs of Sunset." The couple tied the knot in March after wrapping the fourth season of the reality show during which rumors ran rampant about Mike's infidelity. New reports suggest the couple are now headed for splitsville.
According to E! Online, Jessica has filed for divorce from her husband. She is said to have cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split and listed August 1, 2015 as the date at which they decided to separate.
Mike's rep has since come forward, revealing to the public that the divorce came after Jessica learned that Mike had been unfaithful, despite denying it while filming "Shahs." His rep claimed the infidelity took place "two years ago," but said it only came to light recently when Jessica uncovered incriminating text messages on her husband's phone. Mike was reportedly truthful about having cheated, which pushed Jessica to file the divorce papers. The reality star is said to have "begged for her back," but has had no luck.
"Two years ago, before they were married, Mike made a terrible mistake and cheated on Jessica. She recently discovered a text message and he came completely clean to her," his rep said. "He feels so terrible. Jessica is the most amazing woman in the world."
Although this is the first confirmation of their split, the signs have been there for several weeks. A look at Mike's Instagram reveals very few photos of Jessica as well, as several revealing posts about past mistakes and staying positive. Nearly two months ago the "Shahs" star posted a photo of himself in a pool overlooking the ocean with a caption in which he talked about the past. He wrote that if he could go back in time he may not have made some of the same mistakes, but added that one "can't live a life of regret."
Mike's infidelity was a hot topic during much of Season 4 of the Bravo reality show. With his wedding date growing closer Golnesa Gharachedaghi, or GG as she's known to fans, became increasingly uncomfortable holding onto a secret she claimed took place during a cast trip to Turkey in an earlier installment of the series. She revealed to several co-stars that Mike had cheated on Jessica with her during the trip, which shocked the entire "Shahs" cast. Mike was approached about the incident multiple times, vehemently denying it and creating a wedge between him and his castmates.
It remains unclear whether the infidelity that Jessica uncovered involved GG or not. Neither she nor Mike have addressed the statement released by Mike's representative.
