Real Housewives of Atlanta star Falynn Pina and Jaylan Banks have tied the knot in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Yesterday was a dream come true ✨,” Pina, 35, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, December 7, alongside two photos from her wedding to Banks, 26, one day prior. “I finally got to marry my best friend. In front of our closest friends and family, we shared our forever nuptials where there was endless laughter and tears of joy as we danced the night away. True love is unconditional, kind, patient and most of all…forgiving.”
One photo showed Pina and Banks exiting the church following their nuptials, while the second sweet snap included the happy couple and two of their children. She concluded, “Here’s to the beginning of forever with you @itsjaylanbanks 🥂 I love you.”
Another photo shared via Instagram on Saturday confirmed that Pina was pregnant with the couple’s second child. “Mommy and Daddy can’t wait to meet you, little one,” she wrote in the caption alongside a black and white photo of the couple in an elevator. In the photo, Pina cradles her belly while Banks embraces her from behind.
Pina and Banks welcomed their first child, daughter Emma, in November 2021 — Banks’ first child and Pina’s fourth. Additionally, the Real Housewives alum has three sons from previous relationships: Troy, Dylan and Liam.
Pina is a former “friend of” the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and she famously entered into a relationship with Banks after her divorce from Simon Guobadia in 2021, who accused her of having an affair with Banks.
However, her relationship with Banks has been tumultuous — the pair first announced their split in February 2023 via a joint Instagram post. “It is with deep sadness in our hearts that we have decided to end our journey as a couple,” they captioned the since-deleted post, according to E! News. “Though we love each other very much, we feel it is best to part ways. Our bond as friends and family will never be broken. We ask for privacy at this time.”
One month before announcing their split, Pina revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage. “Last night, the Lord called our baby home,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “Though we understand that God has a plan, our home is filled with tears and broken hearts. Rest in heaven, Jean Pina👼🏾 Mommy and Daddy love you so very much❤️.”
Later that year, Banks appeared on an episode of the “Relationships Matter” podcast, where he claimed to have been “groomed” by Pina in their relationship following her divorce from Guobadia.
“I was groomed,” he said in the August 2023 episode. “She made it seem as if he was doing her wrong, and then come to find out, I’m on the other side now — that’s narcissists. She groomed me, would tell me, ‘He’s doing this to me,’ and I felt sad for her.”
“That’s what narcissists do, they groom you to make the other person look bad so when you do something you won’t feel bad about it because you feel as if they were treating that person wrong.”
