Now 37, Jessica reflected on the tumultuous period that unfolded publicly through the television series. In her post, she highlighted her journey from that fraught relationship to her current life, which is filled with happiness alongside her husband, George McGee, and their two young sons.

Her TikTok caption poignantly advised, “In your 20s you will be in an ab*sive relationship that played out on TV for the world to see … It [is] VERY important you leave, your life will blossom after the storm.” This message underscored the importance of leaving toxic situations to find personal growth and fulfillment.

The video offered a glimpse into Jessica’s present life, showcasing heartfelt interactions with George and precious moments with her children. Her first son, Liam, was born in April 2019, and she recently welcomed another baby with George just a few weeks ago, signaling a bright new chapter for the former reality star.

In the accompanying video, Jessica included moments between her and George, as well as glimpses of her first son, Liam, whom she welcomed in April 2019, and her and George’s new baby, whom she gave birth to several weeks ago.

After viewing the clip, several commenters assumed that Jessica was referring to Mike, 47, who was previously accused of assaulting his ex-fiancée, Paulina Ben-Cohen.

“Glad you got away from Mike,” one person wrote.

“We always saw him for who he was,” another added.

“Yesssss…cheers to surviving & thriving after a severe narcissist,” said a third as another person wrote, “Omg Jessica from Shahs!!! Aww I’m so happy for you … you deserved way better than Mike!”

Someone else seemingly signaled Mike’s alleged “[vicious]” and “[brutal]” attack against Paulina.

“He went on to abuse someone else,” they mentioned.

“Yeah did you [see] what he did to his other girlfriend?” another replied.

“I always thought you were too good for Mike. You’re beautiful!! Happy for you!” proclaimed someone else.

Following claims of Mike’s domestic violence against Paulina, who sued him over the March 2022 incident, the two of them reached a settlement in which she agreed to dismiss the case.

After her marriage to Mike ended, Jessica went on to date Karlen “Chris” Shubaralyan, who was also charged with domestic violence due to his apparent interaction with a former partner.
