Who is Mike Shouhed’s fiancée Paulina Ben-Cohen?
Mike Shouhed’s fiancee Paulina Ben-Cohen is an actor and a fashion influencer according to her Instagram account bio. The actor and Shouhed met on the sets of their show ‘Shahs of Sunset’ season 8 that aired on Bravo and soon fell in love with each other. In August 2021, they surprised their fans by getting engaged. Paulina had announced this happy news on her account back in August 2021. Her caption for the post read, “We have decided on forever.”
According to ABTC.ng, Paulina Ben-Cohen’s ex-husband is Tal Bahari, an Iranian multimillionaire businessman. As an entrepreneur, he has acquired millions of dollars through a variety of companies, including serving as the CFO of his brother, Fred Bahari’s, fashion company Cavalini, Inc. Paulina shares two children with her ex-husband, ages 7 and 5, respectively. Their names haven’t been revealed to the public yet.
"Shouhed was booked around 1:05 a.m. local time on March 28, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department court records showed. He was charged with corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, which is a felony, per the sheriff’s department." according to a Page Six report. It is not officially confirmed if the victim here was Ben-Cohen even when the reports have clearly mentioned how it had been a 31-year-old female.
Following this, Bravo canceled ‘Shahs of Sunset.’ Sources close to the show told Page Six how it became ‘too expensive to make’ while Ryan Seacrest Productions' source cited that the show simply ‘ran its course.’
After this ruckus, according to a Page Six report, Paulina responded to her fiance’s arrest through her attorney. Her attorney Josh Ritter in a quote to Page Six back in April 2022 mentioned, “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 lovebirds that became a couple in 2019 officially are still together. The sources at the Garza Blanca resort and spa in Mexico in their quote to TMZ talking about Ben-Cohen and Shouhed’s vacation in Mexico said that Shouhed and Ben-Cohen barely spoke and did not engage in much PDA.
