REZA FARAHAN
As Season 7 of Shahs of Sunset is about to hit our screens (starts Fri., Aug. 3, on hayu), WHO’S Madison Spira chats to the show’s 44-yearold Reza, a self-confessed diva who hopes his child will also have a taste for the finer things in life!
You have lost a tonne of weight this year— what’s your secret? I have to eat lettuce and exercise as much as humanly possible. There is no easy way to do it but the more fibre and vegetables I eat, the better. I stay full, I am happy and healthy. Talk us through a day in the life of Reza. What do you get up to? My husband Adam [Neely] wakes up at an ungodly hour so I am usually up at 5.30 AM. I wake up, brush my teeth and head to the gym for my cardio. After I have breakfast I go to the office and do a few hours of real-estate work and then work on my new haircare line. I get home at around six and have dinner with my husband and then it’s lights out by 10! We are very strict with that rule! You’re definitely a fashion icon. How long does it take you to get ready? It usually takes me 30 minutes to get ready, whether I am going for drinks with a friend or going to a wedding. How is married life treating you? Honestly, amazing. If you marry someone you love and your habits are similar you will be fine. I remember Mike Shouhed [also on Shahs of Sunset] saying that the first year is so hard, but we have felt the opposite. Are babies still on the cards? Absolutely! We are currently renovating our house, but I promised Adam that when we moved in and we are settled, we will start the process!
