Mike Shouhed spoke of his wife and their current relationship during a new interview.

Following his Shahs of Sunset cheating reveal, the reality star and businessman dished on his relationship with Jessica Parido and her now-former relationship with Karlen Shubaralyan.

"Jessica and I have spoken. We've hung out. We've talked. It's difficult, five years together, we shared a lot of memories," Shouhed explained to The Daily Dish last week. "She was my emotional rock. She was my cultural rock. She was my religious rock. She was the person I went to bed with and woke up with every day. So to miss that person in my life, there was a huge void."

"There was a huge gap and we spent months where we didn't talk. And then she reached out to me and we just started talking again, and it felt great. But there's so much baggage. There's so much hurt. There's so much pain. There's a lot of baggage we have to get through before we can even think about becoming cordial with each other on a consistent basis," he explained.

Although a reconcilation may not be possible, at least at this point, that doesn't mean Shouhed has been completely solo.

"Am I dating? I go out on dates," she said, "but it's hard again being an emotional person, I'm kind of sensitive. So it's difficult for me to really get into that mindset. It's unfair to bring someone into my life right now."

As for Parido's relationship with Shubaralyan, Shouhed confirmed the former pair is no longer dating.

"I think that was just a rebound," he said. "I hurt her and she was looking for someone to give her attention and love and fill a void that she was feeling with me, but it's done."

Parido went public with Shubaralyan in November, just days after filing for divorce from Shouhed.
