Much has changed for the cast of Shahs of Sunset not just over the years, but since we last caught up with them in Season 8. Following the May 16 Season 9 premiere, it’s clear that from friendship updates to romantic relationships, each member of the Shahs crew is now in a totally new place in one way or another. During Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Reza Farahan explained one of the biggest developments of all: how Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi has changed since becoming a mom. 

GG welcomed her first child, son Elijah Javad Gharachedaghi, on April 27, 2020. And according to Reza, the adorable baby boy has made quite the impact. In response to a viewer question asking, “How would you say motherhood has changed Golnesa?” in the clip above, Reza replied, “Oh my god. It has changed her completely. She’s like, the knives are gone, and she’s connected to the earth and motherhood.” 

Reza also shared more on the mother-son duo in a tweet, writing, “I love seeing [Golnesa] with Elijah! His faux hawk is so cute!”

GG has previously opened up about her new life as a mom, such as when she joked that it only took two months after Elijah’s birth to pick up a habit she swore she’d never try: becoming the kind of mother who loves to share countless pictures of her child on social media. “I can’t help it!” she once shared. 

The Season 9 trailer also teased a few ways GG has adapted, including the fact that, according to her, she’s been “getting along with everybody.” Even Mercedes “MJ” Javid noted, “When did Golnesa become the voice of reason?”
