It looks like love is in the air for The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga’s daughter, Antonia Gorga! The college junior is officially off the market — and her mom can’t help but laugh about the irony of it all.
In a recent interview with The Daily Dish on October 23, Melissa revealed the exciting news. “She has a boyfriend now,” the proud mom shared, explaining that Antonia met her new beau while attending the University of Delaware.
But what really cracks Melissa up is where he’s from. “He goes to her school, but he’s from East Hanover, New Jersey, which is so funny,” Melissa said. “I’m like, ‘You go to Delaware and you find the Italian Jersey boy.’ Like, that’s what you find. So that’s exciting.”
Even with a full college schedule and a new relationship, Antonia still makes plenty of time for her family. Melissa gushed that her daughter is doing “amazing” in school but comes home to New Jersey often. “She comes home a lot, though, which is funny,” Melissa noted. “She misses my food, which I’m shocked. I’m like, what better compliment than when your daughter’s like, ‘Ma, I just want your food.’ Like, ‘Just cook for me.’ So she’s cute.”
The RHONJ star added that the Gorgas remain as tight-knit as ever. “We’re a very close-knit family,” she said. “We do hang on the couch together a lot. We watch movies together. We’re like, that family. I know the boys will, like, get up and go and come back, but she misses that family time on the couch. So she needs it for a minute, and then she goes back.”
Melissa’s husband, Joe Gorga, also chimed in on his daughter’s growing up moments earlier in the week. Sharing a sweet (and slightly sentimental) reflection on Instagram Stories, Joe compared his three kids’ personalities — and confessed he misses the affectionate texts Antonia used to send.
“You know what? I found some text messages from when she was a baby, and she was like, ‘Daddy, I love you; I love you so much, so, so, so, so much. When you coming home? You’re the best daddy ever.’ Right? And now, I barely get that,” Joe said in the clip. “I barely get that. It’s a shame.”
