From reality TV meltdowns to allegations of fraud, Coach Sharrieff Shah has stood by Jen Shah through it all.
While Bravo watchers were introduced to the couple when The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City launched in late 2020, the twosome met in the ‘90s while attending The University of Utah.
“We had a class together. I saw her, my heart stops immediately,” Sharrieff recalled of his wife on season 1. “I walk up to her [and ask], ‘Is that seat taken?’ She looks at me like, ‘There’s nobody there. I guess not.’ That’s how we met.”
The pair were still in college when Jen got pregnant with their eldest son, who was born in 1994. They would go on to tie the knot that year.
“The second I find out I am devastated because I’m like, ‘You don’t understand. My life just ended. This is against everything I’ve been,’” Jen, who was raised Mormon, recalled on the “Currently Cringing” podcast in 2020 about struggling to tell her parents she was pregnant. “And it was so weird for me because Sharrieff like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so happy.’ Cause his mom calls his dad, his dad gets on the phone and is like, ‘Jen, I’m so excited, baby.’ … And I’m like, ‘Hey, this is really weird. Cause we’re not married.’”
After they got married, Jen converted to Islam, and they welcomed a second son, Omar, in 2003.
“When I was about five years into my marriage, we had our first son, and it was time to start thinking about how we are going to raise him under one religion. It was important to me that we had consistency. I didn’t want my son to be confused with what mommy is practicing and what dad is practicing,” she explained to E! News.
While Jen certainly made waves for her antics during season 1 of RHOSLC, things got real during production of season 2 in March 2021
