However, there are some new challenges awaiting the beautiful duo. The relationship has been going strong for some time, and Paulina is about to make her first appearance on Shahs of Sunset — a rite of passage that posed significant risks to at least one of Mike’s previous relationships.

“With Jessica, they gave her a hard time, the poor girl,” Mike told TooFab, before adding that “but with Paulina, they were super friendly and they welcomed her with open arms.”

Mike displayed a positive outlook when asked about the future of the affair, stating that being with Paulina allowed him to grow further as a person. Even more importantly, his approach to publicity has changed radically — all thanks to her. 

“She’s private. I learned from my mistakes […]  I kinda wanted her out of the spotlight because she’s so focused on being the best mom possible,” Mike told TooFab.
