Golnesa Gharachedaghi’s marriage to Dennis DeSantis may have lasted only 10 days, but that was still enough time for plenty of drama to go down between them.
During Season 1, Episode 3 of The Valley: Persian Style, Golnesa and Dennis finally spilled all the details on their short-lived romance — from the reason they got married in the first place to the intense aftermath of their eventual breakup.
First, Golnesa established her and Dennis’ relationship timeline in a confessional. She explained that they briefly dated roughly 14 years ago and had been “best friends” for the past 13 years, as well as business partners. Eventually, Golnesa and Dennis eloped to Las Vegas in November 2024, but their marriage was annulled 10 days later.

While getting mani-pedis with Reza Jackson and Natasha Kashanian, Golnesa said that she had not spoken to Dennis since the annulment.
The reason? “A week after we’re married, he’s with my friend,” she revealed to her castmates.
Why Golnesa Gharachedaghi and Dennis DeSantis split
Golnesa, meanwhile, admitted that she only married Dennis because she wanted to get “payback” on an ex and knew that he always “had a thing” for her. However, that didn’t necessarily soften the sting of him moving on so quickly with her friend whom she said was actually a part of their Las Vegas nuptials.
“When I found out that Dennis was hooking up with one of my friends, I was, yeah, hurt,” she told a producer. “But I’m no f–kin’ angel. I didn’t really want to marry Dennis, so it’s kind of like karma’s a bitch. Regardless of that, his actions were f–ked up, point-blank.”
After months of no communication, Dennis eventually “reached out” to wish Golnesa a happy Mother’s Day, and the two agreed to meet and hash out their issues, as seen on The Valley: Persian Style‘s Jan. 15 episode.

During their tense reunion, Golnesa clocked that Dennis appeared to be acting “as if it’s not a big deal to just go after someone’s friend,” at which point he chimed in with his side of the story.
“I feel like if she was your true friend, I would’ve been a scumbag for doing that,” Dennis told Golnesa, who fumed at his response. “You’re acting like I cheated on you or I left you just to be with her. I said, ‘Hey, I don’t want to be married to you.’ And then that happened after we were divorced. I didn’t cheat on you or leave you for another girl.”
Golnesa pushed back, however, that he was “very eager” to get their marriage annulled, and she claimed that she was “correct” in assuming it was because he was “already lining up” his third marriage.
Dennis’ response? “You’re really losing it.”
Golnesa Gharachedaghi revealed if she would get back together with Dennis DeSantis
When Golnesa first revealed that she had agreed to meet with Dennis, Natasha asked if she “would get back with him” or was “interested in him” romantically.
“We were literally married for a week,” she shot back, without directly answering her question.
As Golnesa further noted in a confessional, she was actually “newly divorced for the second time,” after ending her previous marriage to Shalom Yeroushalmi in 2017. What’s more, she had “only been married for, like, a month at the most,” as she put it.
“Relationships are just not for me,” Golnesa declared. “But I would like a relationship where, you know, they can just go away when I need them to and then come to me when I need them to. And then, go away again.”
Later, Tanin Nikpey asked Golnesa the same question about rekindling her romance with Dennis, and she gave a much more direct answer.
“God no,” Golnesa responded. “You want to f–k my friend instead, the week after we got married? And she was in Vegas when we got married. Like, are you for real?”
As the drama continues on The Valley: Persian Style, don’t miss what else Golnesa spilled about her “emotional” reunion with Dennis.
