Katie’s Insight on Dating

Advice from Scheana Shay
Scheana expressed surprise that Golnesa was waitlisted and suggested she expand her search beyond Los Angeles. She mentioned her own successful relationship with husband Brock Davies, which began in San Diego. Golnesa reacted eagerly to this tip, declaring her intent to explore dating opportunities there.
Reassessing Relationship Goals
While ready to explore romance, Golnesa stated she isn’t traditionally inclined towards relationships. “I’m not afraid of saying that,” she asserted. She emphasized her desire to remain in control of her life path, having chosen to conceive her five-year-old son, Elijah Javad Gharachedaghi, through IVF without connection to a partner.
What Golnesa Looks for in a Partner
Golnesa expressed a keen interest in finding someone who is equally focused on their own life and career. “I need space to thrive,” she said, highlighting her independence as a Sagittarius.
A Glimpse into Golnesa’s Past Relationships
- Engagement to Omid Kalantari: Brief and ended five years ago.
- Marriage to Shalom Yeroushalmi: Tied the knot in early 2017; divorced nearly two years later.
- Marriage to Dennis DeSantis: Eloped in November 2024; annulled shortly after.
Golnesa’s relationship with Dennis deteriorated quickly, particularly after learning of his involvement with a mutual friend post-split. Reflecting on the situation, she acknowledged her own reservations about the marriage, stating, “I didn’t really want to marry Dennis.” This candid revelation showcases her complex view on love and relationships.
As she takes steps into the dating scene, Golnesa Gharachedaghi continues to prioritize her independence while remaining open to love. Her story reflects the ongoing journey many face in navigating personal relationships.
