Are Mike Shouhed and Paulina Ben-Cohen still together? 'Shahs of Sunset' star says sexting drama was 'stupid'
'Shahs of Sunset' never ceases to amaze. A trip, few bottles of alcohol, and a group of friends who are not caught up on gossip - perfect recipe for endless drama, which reaches fever pitch when Mike Shouhed decides to drop truth bombs.
From the preview clips we have seen, it's tough to assess what's on his mind but from the looks of it could be about him owing up to the sexting drama. How will that impact girlfriend Paulina Ben-Cohen? A better question to ask would be: Are they still together and has she forgiven her?

Are Mike Shouhed and Paulina Ben-Cohen still dating?
Although at this point it may seem unlikely that they could even be in the same room without killing each other, but things apparently get better for the couple. Going by Shouhed's latest interview, the two have taken the next step in their relationship.
"Paulina's divorce is finally finalized so we're actually going to be moving into our new home this week that we bought in one of the suburbs in LA," Mike told E! News last week. "We couldn't be happier to start our lives together and hopefully build a family outside of the one that I already have with her...Meaning adding to the family."
"We've discussed moving forward in our relationship, hopefully getting engaged, getting married, having children, adding to the beautiful family we already have," the Bravo star shared.
Shouhed on sexting drama: 'It was a dark time'
"It was a dark time," the 42-year-old told the outlet and added: "We were going through COVID, being on lockdown, and I let the anxiousness of going through that and just being bored allow me to do things I shouldn’t have done."
Shouhed continued, "Looking back, I feel really stupid for allowing myself to engage in that conversation, even though those text messages were for a few hours and one day that those messages happened, reliving it now feels like it was going on for a long period of time." [sic]
Earlier he had said his iCloud was hacked and it was not him who had sexted. What could be the reason he is coming clean now? Redemption or massive guilt, perhaps? This is us speculating, Shouhed would know better how he felt doing what he did. He told the publication how he "groveled and apologized" to fiancee Paulina Ben-Cohen, because of which they are in a better space now.
Ben-Cohen must be large-hearted for letting Shouhed off the hook given how he had texted the undisclosed individual that he would like to "f**k the ass and grab the boobs." "I realized that what I have with Paulina means more to me than any amount of stimulation I might have gotten from a conversation I shouldn’t have had," he added.
In other news, Shouhed's first marriage, with Jessica Parido, came to an end over cheating allegations.
