Reza Farahan has never hidden his love story from the cameras. Viewers first watched him propose to Adam Neely during Season 3 of “Shahs of Sunset,” and by Season 5, the couple had pulled off one of the sneakiest weddings in Bravo history.
Now, on Season 1 of “The Valley: Persian Style,” Reza is once again putting his relationship front and center — and making it clear he has zero regrets.
“I have amazing friends, an amazing family, and I would rather hang out with him doing nothing than go to like the fanciest event, which tells me I’m with the right person,” Reza told The Daily Dish in January.
Reza Farahan & Adam Neely’s Surprise Palm Springs Wedding
Reza and Adam tied the knot in October 2015 in Palm Springs, California. The ceremony was anything but traditional. Asa Soltan Rahmati officiated the wedding, which was disguised as a dinner party for the Season 5 cast of “Shahs of Sunset,” including Mercedeh Javid and Golnesa Gharachedaghi.
Reza even surprised Adam with the ceremony. The couple wore purple and said “I do” in front of their castmates. During a confessional, Reza described the moment by saying, “The sun is shining internally in my soul.”
The couple initially chose not to include their families. During a May 2016 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Reza explained, “It was all about Adam. I just wanted to do that thang and we’re actually planning something for our families.”
He later clarified that both families were supportive of the decision. “They were super supportive… everyone was really understanding and very supportive,” he told The Daily Dish.
The Rings, the Valley House & That Green Thumb
Reza recently shared new details about the wedding band Adam gave him. “There’s something about it being special to me,” he said. “There’s an engraving on the inside, and I’m gonna respect my husband and not say what it says… and it’s gold, Persian’s love gold, it’s yellow gold, and I wear it like a badge of honor.”
On the day of the surprise wedding, Reza also purchased a second ring for Adam from Tiffany & Co., in addition to their Cartier bands. “I wanted to get Adam something with some bling… the ring I chose had diamonds all the way around it,” he said.
Today, the couple lives together in the Valley in a home that Reza admits is a “15 year old house that desperately needs a remodel.” Still, it’s theirs. The property features an ultra lush garden with corn, blackberries, and mulberries. “My husband has a green thumb,” Reza explained.
Adam recently credited their strong communication for keeping their marriage steady. “He takes me with the good and the bad,” Adam said. “Intimacy for us goes beyond the physical. Reza listens to me… and just makes me feel like he’s my protector.”
