RHONJ’s Paul Connell reveals that his divorce is almost finalized while opening up about his and Dolores Catania’s plans to tie the knot.

On September 13, The U.S. Sun chatted with Dolores Catania‘s boyfriend, Paul Connell, about season 14 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Paul Connell discussed how the RHONJ cast is handling Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice not speaking amid their feud.

The Irish-born entrepreneur also revealed that his divorce from his estranged wife will be finalized “very soon.” While Paul says he’s not rushing to propose to Dolores, they are taking a significant step in their relationship by going into business with each other. Dolores and Paul are opening a company focused on construction and real estate.

He explained:

“We know we have a long-term journey. I have to get divorced, which is coming up pretty soon, very soon. I’m not going to run down and jump down on one knee and ask her to marry me. It’s not the formal thing to do. We’re opening a business together, and we’re starting that venture. And it will lead up to an engagement and marriage.”

Speaking of marriage, Paul Connell opened up more about his and Dolores’ plans to wed while chatting with Page Six on September 12.

“I think we have a plan that’s in effect that we believe is going to be within our time schedule. She’s happy about that, so am I, so I think everybody else will be,” he told the outlet.

As for whether or not they wed on RHONJ, Paul Connell says that decision will be “up to [Dolores].”

“I’m, like, new to this whole thing, so whatever she wants goes,” he explained.

Dolores and Paul have been dating since 2021. Initally, their relationship caused some issues between Dolores and her ex-husband Frank Catania, who was upset over the changes in their family dynamic amid her romance with Paul.

Despite the challenges, Paul and Frank have managed to work on their friendship and are “finding [common] ground” within their blended family.

“I like Frank. Frank likes me. I think we’re good. I think it’s a good blend right now at the moment, so hopefully it stays that way,” he admitted.

Paul then joked that when he and Dolores do marry, Frank will most likely play a practical joke or two.

“He’ll probably be the guy that stands up [at the wedding] and says, ‘Does anyone have a problem?’ ‘Yes, I do,’” he laughed, adding, “He’ll probably be at the wedding, for sure.”

Shannon Beador has had a rough weekend. The Real Housewives of Orange County star got caught driving drunk this weekend in SoCal.

Law enforcement told TMZ that Shannon Beador had drove her car onto a residential property in Newport Beach Saturday evening and “clipped the house.” Shannon then proceeded to turn her back onto the road and kept going before parking her car in the middle of the street and getting out with her dog.

Sources tell TMZ that Shannon tried to act like she was taking a walk when police arrived after receiving 911 calls. It is said that Shannon appeared “wasted.”

Cops also took Shannon’s car as part of their investigation into the damage of the home she hit.

Shannon was booked for 2 misdemeanors, hit-and-run and DUI alcohol. She was cited and released without bond.

The Real Housewives of Orange County is currently airing season 17 where Shannon is getting questioned for having a toxic relationship. That’s not all – Shannon’s co-star Gina Kirschenheiter recently blew up at Shannon for continuing to bring up her four-year-old DUI arrest.

‘Shannon says s*it and then she wants to pretend she didn’t do it,’ Gina said in a confessional. ‘And if you can say things that are that hurtful and not even remember you said it, you need to go fing check yourself into rehab. And then when you do and you get to the f*ing I’m sorry step, I’ll be waiting for that apology.’

Melissa Gorga's mom Donna Marco likes negative comments about Joe Gorga's sister Teresa Giudice on social media

Melissa Gorga’s Mom Continues to Like Negative Comments About Teresa Giudice

written by Lara Sophia

The Marco family strikes again! Melissa Gorga’s mom is once again liking negative comments about Teresa Giudice on social media.

Melissa Gorga’s mother, Donna Marco, continues to like negative comments about Joe Gorga‘s older sister, Teresa Giudice, on social media.

On Instagram, Donna liked a nasty comment about Teresa on one of her recent Instagram posts.

The 74-year-old shared a photo of her, Joe Gorga, and daughter Lysa Simpson on Instagram. A fan of the Real Housewives of New Jersey commented on Donna’s post, claiming Teresa’s lack of respect for Joe is the reason behind their strained relationship.

“Melissa’s sisters respect [you] more than your own sister. So sad,” the fan commented. Of course, Donna liked the comment.

Earlier this month, Donna shared a negative post about Teresa and her husband, Louie Ruelas, on social media.

On Facebook, Donna shared a negative article about Louie following Dolores Catania’s charity softball game on August 30th.

The article claimed that “Louie Ruelas [was] loudly rejected by fans while filming” season 14 of RHONJ.

After RHONJ fans caught wind of Donna’s post, many called her out for being obsessed with Teresa and Louie.

“[You’re] obsessed,” one fan quipped on Donna’s Facebook post.

Donna then claimed that her account was “hacked” and encouraged everyone to “disregard” any of her posts.

“My account was hacked. Disregard postings,” Donna wrote.

During season 13 of RHONJ, Teresa mentioned how Melissa Gorga’s family spent years CONSTANTLY liking and sharing horrible posts about her on social media despite her being Joe Gorga’s sister.

This claim is nothing new, as Teresa complained about Melissa’s family to Joe Gorga during seasons 4, 5, and 6 of RHONJ. Clearly, Melissa’s family will never stop sharing negative and nasty articles and tweets about Teresa and her family.

This whole thing is so embarrassing. Imagine your nearly 80-year-old mom liking, commenting, and sharing terrible things about your son-in-laws sister. Yikes.

Ramona Singer may be ready to settle down as she’s found love with her new millionaire beau. Get all the deets on Ramona’s new man!

The Daily Mail reports that the Real Housewives of New York OG spent the entire summer packing on the PDA in the Hamptons with her new man. Ramona Singer‘s new beau has now been identified as New Jersey-based financier William ‘Bill’ Luby, 63.

Bill lives in a $1.9 million seafront home in New Jersey. He is the CEO of finance company Seaport Capital. This year, Bill divorced his wife of over 30 years, Eileen O’Hern Luby, a lawyer and Harvard-educated daughter of a Supreme Court judge.

“Bill is absolutely smitten,” a close friend said. “She’s a lot less erratic.”

Ramona and Bill began their year-long romance after meeting at a party on Labor Day weekend in 2022. Since then, Ramona has kept Bill’s identity private and swore all her friends to secrecy.

“Bill was going through an expensive divorce and naturally wanted to keep their relationship a secret. Now he’s officially single, their love has grown even more, and there’s even been talk of marriage,” the source reveals.

The longtime Bravo star was previously married to Mario Singer. The former RHONY couple married in 1992 and welcomed their daughter, Avery Singer, in 1995. In 2010, during season 3 of RHONY, Ramona and Mario renewed their wedding vows while celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary.

However, in August 2014, Ramona announced on Facebook that she and Mario were separating after 22 years of marriage.

“I have decided to move on with my life without Mario,” she wrote at the time. “I tried my best to make my marriage work. I am excited for the new chapter in my life.”

“It was my success as a celebrity reality star and notoriety that bothered him,” Ramona revealed to PEOPLE a year later. “I think he felt that we were no longer a team.”

Mario’s infidelity also played a huge role in their split. In 2013, Mario infamously had an affair with 20-something Kasey Dexter, who eventually went from mistress to girlfriend—the two dated until 2018, when he caught her cheating on him inside their West Palm Beach, FL home.

“The affair was really a symptom of unhappiness,” she continued. “It’s still betrayal.”

Season 14 of RHONY airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Tamra Judge Says Teresa Giudice Deserves ‘Wifetime Achievement Award’

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Tamra Judge reveals why she believes Real Housewives of New Jersey OG Teresa Giudice deserves Bravo’s Wifetime Achievement Award.

It’s no secret that Tamra Judge and Teresa Giudice have spent the last year publicly feuding, so it was shocking to hear the Real Housewives of Orange County star reveal that she would give Bravo’s Wifetime Achievement Award to the RHONJ OG.

On Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Tamra Judge was a guest alongside her friends and RHOC co-stars Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador.

During the episode, Andy Cohen announced that Vicki, who is the OG of the OC, would be receiving the Wifetime Achievement Award at BravoCon in November.

WWHL bartender Dylan Hafer, host of the Mention It All podcast, asked the Tres Amigas: “If you ladies were to bestow [the Wifetime Achievement Award] on a housewife from another city, who would you choose?”

Vicki skirted the question entirely. Instead, she tossed the ball in Tamra’s court, saying, “You take that one. I don’t even know.”

“I’ll choose Teresa [Giudice]. I feel like she’s gone through a lot on the show. She’s given a lot,” Tamra explained.

“She has,” Shannon said in agreement.

Tamra’s response is quite funny, considering when the Two T’s in a Pod podcast host appeared on WWHL in June, she dubbed Teresa Giudice the “most overrated Housewife.”

“Tamra, as a Bravo fan yourself, who is the most overrated Real Housewife of all time?” Andy asked on the Wednesday, June 7, episode of WWHL.

Tamra replied, “Teresa.”

Then, in July, Tamra admitted on another episode of WWHL that she would like to “squash her beef” with Teresa Giudice at BravoCon.

“I’d like to squash my beef with Teresa,” Tamra then admitted.

She then insisted that she isn’t feuding with Teresa, telling Andy, “I’m not in a war with Teresa. I actually like Teresa.”

In recent months, Tamra has attacked Teresa’s husband, Louie Ruelas. The RHOC star also shaded Teresa’s RHONJ wedding special and dubbed the OG Housewife the “Queen of Denial.”

“Teresa was caught in a lot of lies, I believe. There was a conversation about her going to dinner with the Gorgas, and she said it never happened. They said she tried to hook her up with one of her friends, Shane, I think his name was, and they showed the picture, and then she said – I mean, she is like the queen of denial. She really is – let’s call her Cleopatra,” the RHOC star said in a June episode of her and Teddi Mellencamp‘s podcast.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Are Shannon Beador and John Janssen Back Together? Emily Simpson Thinks So

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

The status of Shannon Beador‘s relationship with her ex, John, is the talk of the town. Now, Emily Simpson has a theory on their relationship.

Throughout season 17 of the Real Housewives of Orange County, Shannon Beador’s relationship with John Janssen has been a hot topic, with many of the OC Housewives voicing their concerns over the issues in Shannon and John’s three-year relationship.

While Heather Dubrow took most of the heat for the chatter about Shannon and John’s relationship, most, if not all, of the RHOC cast openly talked about the problems facing Shannon and John.

Shannon Beador and John Janssen split in late November after three and a half years of dating. The breakup came just a week after production wrapped on season 17 of RHOC. In January, Shannon told PEOPLE that she “was blindsided by the breakup.”

“All I can do is repeat in my head what he said to me while we were filming,” Shannon Beador shared at the time. “We were in a great place. But seven days later, when the cameras were down, it was a completely different story. He told me he was done with the relationship. And to hear what he said to me then was absolutely devastating.”

“I’ve never loved anyone more in my life,” she adds of John. “I was hopeful this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I wanted it to work out. I’ve never loved anyone like I’ve loved John. But clearly, he didn’t feel the same way.”

Since splitting, Shannon and John spent several away from each other before reconnecting in April as friends. Shannon and John grabbed dinner with RHOC co-stars Tamra Judge and Jennifer Pedranti at TAO in Los Angeles with their respective partners, Eddie Judge and Ryan Boyajian.

Shannon shared a photo of the night out on Instagram and made sure to add the hashtag “#wearenotbacktogther.”

Over the last few months, Shannon and John have been spotted out together all over Orange County, leaving Bravo fans dying to know the status of their relationship.

While Shannon insists that she and John are just friends, Shannon’s RHOC co-star Emily Simspon has a different theory.

Earlier this month, Emily appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen alongside co-star Gina Kirschenheiter.

During the appearance, the two played a game of “Truth or Emily Eats a Cucumber.” 

Andy Cohen asked Emily: “What do you think was the biggest red flag in Shannon and John’s relationship?” She replied, “Oh, my God. There are so many. I mean, they break up all the time.”

Gina added: “The fact that they’re not together.”

Emily then interjected, “No, but I think they are together,” to which a confused Gina asked: “Oh, they are today?” 

“I think so,” Emily said.

This piqued Andy’s interest, who began to pepper Emily.

“Oh really? And they’re pretending to not be together so they don’t get any heat?” he asked.

The 47-year-old replied, “I don’t know. Maybe. I’m going to eat some more cucumber.”

New Information on Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke’s Split

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

A source shares new details on Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke’s split, as the Summer House exes haven’t spoken since their breakup last month.

Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke have reportedly not spoken since Carl ended their engagement last month, just two months ahead of their November wedding in Mexico.

New details about the reasons behind the breakup have now emerged just days after Lindsay Hubbard released a statement on Instagram.

Summer House stars Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke are taking their relationship to the next level as they excitedly announce their long-awaited decision to move in together.
Summer House stars Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke look lovey-dovey during an appearance on WWHL.

“I would like to start by saying thank you for allowing me the space and time to process my emotions, heal, and grieve the loss of not only my relationship, but my friendship with someone I considered my best friend for 8 years,” Lindsay wrote in her state, noting that the past two weeks have been “the most heartbreaking and emotional weeks of my life.”

The 37-year-old added that her “entire life and future was ripped out from underneath” of her. “I’ve had a hard time making sense of it all — with no answers or closure on why,” Lindsay shared. “I feel humiliated by how it went down and simultaneously heartbroken that it happened in the first place. My trust has been betrayed, and coming to terms with that has been difficult for me.”

One report reveals that Lindsay and Carl are no longer in contact after the 38-year-old called off their wedding. Another report claims that Carl broke things off with Lindsay due to their lack of commonalities and Lindsay’s alleged insensitivity to his sobriety.

“It was Carl’s decision to end the engagement,” a source told Life & Style on September 14. “Lindsay is devastated that he would cancel their wedding — she’d only held her bridal shower two weeks earlier!”

Per the report, Lindsay’s drinking may have caused some issues between her and Carl, who has been sober since January 2021. 

“She’s never had a problem herself. Still, it was considered insensitive,” the source noted. “[Carl] is working hard to find himself. The last thing Carl needs is to be tempted to drink again.”

“They don’t seem to have much in common anymore. Carl thinks that Lindsay is a great girl. He’s just headed in a different direction,” the insider explained.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly confirms that Carl and Lindsay have not spoken since calling off their wedding in August. 

Lindsay and Carl met in 2016 while filming season one of Summer House. The two quickly became friends and had a brief romance during season 4. They remained friends after their failed attempt at dating. In late 2021, Carl and Lindsay started dating – again and later confirmed their relationship in January 2022.

After one year of dating, Carl proposed to Lindsay with a 4.02-carat Nicole Rose diamond ring in August 2022 at Southhampton’s Dune Beach. The moment was captured on camera for season seven of Summer House.

In August 2023, news broke that Carl broke off his engagement with Lindsay on camera while filming season 8 of Summer House, which will premiere on Bravo in 2024.

Summer House is expected to return to Bravo for season 8 in 2024.

Kelly Dodd is pissed at former RHOC co-star Shannon Beador following Wednesday’s WWHL. Get all tea on why Kelly thinks Shannon is fake.

Real Housewives of Orange County alum Kelly Dodd went on a tirade against former friend and co-star Shannon Beador after she and Tamra Judge threw shade at her on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

On Wednesday’s episode of WWHL, Shannon, Tamra, and Vicki Gunvalson played a game called “Would You Ban Them?”

When the Tres Amigas were asked if they would ban Kelly Dodd, Shannon and Tamra declared “Yes” in synchronicity. Vicki, on the other hand, insisted she wouldn’t, but Tamra called her out, saying, “Yes, you would. That’s something you said earlier.”

Well, this whole scene didn’t sit well with Kelly Dodd, who took particular aim at Shannon. Following Wednesday’s episode of WWHL, Kelly went on a tirade against Shannon, claiming that she is “fake” and will do “anything for money.”

Kelly started off the rant by pointing out that last year on WWHL, “They asked Shannon who is more thirsty, Kelly or Tamra?” and Shannon replied Tamra.

However, Kelly also claims that Shannon “hated Tamra, but now [that] she’s back on [the show],” Shannon is kissing Tamra’s ass once again. Kelly noted that Tamra only returned to RHOC because “she needs the money.”

Kelly then went on a rant about Shannon:

“She’s all full of shit, and she’s fake as fuck. Shannon Beador will do anything for money. She’s a waste. And she said, Tamara’s more thirsty. Now that Tamara’s back on, all of a sudden, I’m out.”

“Shannon, you’re so full of crap. It’s disgusting,” Kelly concluded while flipping off the camera.

RHONJ’s Lauren Manzo Is Over Bravo Fans Criticizing Her Looks

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

RHONJ alum Lauren Manzo is over people criticizing her looks after receiving comments on everything from having Ozempic face to flappy arms.

Caroline Manzo‘s daughter, Lauren Manzo, 35, recently clapped back at comments about her appearance on TikTok.

Lauren’s rant was spurred by a comment claiming she has “Ozempic face” from losing too much weight.

“Wow, that Ozempic is really f–king working. You got that sunken in Ozempic face,” the comment read.

Over the past two years, Lauren has dropped 80 pounds. She lost 50 pounds on her own with diet and exercise. The RHONJ alum turned to Mounjaro earlier this year to help her drop an additional 30 pounds. Lauren revealed this information in a post on Instagram back in February.

Check out Lauren’s before and after below!

Now, Lauren is clapping back at the constant comments over her body and looks. She explains that mean and nasty comments from RHONJ fans no longer bother her because she is already aware of her “imperfections.” Lauren notes that the comments don’t hurt her because “I am the meanest to myself.”

On TikTok, Lauren said:

“This literal grownup coming at me for having Ozempic face. I know, I know, I have Ozempic face. It’s just like being mean for no reason, but it’s fine because I know I do. I also have this flap under my chin from losing weight too fast that I’m working on tightening. Someone else commented that I need to tone up, like I know I need to tone up these flabby ass arms.”

She continued:

“I have so many imperfections that I know about, and I see and look at every single day that none of you can say anything to me that’s mean about my appearance that would hurt me because I am the meanest to myself.”

“So, like, I’ve already covered all the insults for myself. I look at myself in the mirror every single day and struggle with them every single day. I don’t need to hear them from you too. But if you guys wanna keep bringing ’em off, it makes you feel better about yourself. Bring ’em on. Come on, but I can handle it.”

“Just don’t do it to like the young girls out there that maybe can’t handle it, that haven’t been dealing with people like this for the last 20 years. There’s nothing any of you can tell me that is gonna hurt me because I know all my imperfections. I know I need to tone up and have flabby skin. I know that my stomach could be tighter. I know that my face could not be sunken in and all these things.”

“So it makes you guys feel better to come at me with things than bring it on. But just so you know, it doesn’t bother me because I know all of these things that aren’t perfect about me, and I’m okay with them.”

Heather Gay doesn't agree with Lisa Barlow's son Jack going on a mission for the Mormon Church

RHOSLC: Heather Gay Voices Her Opinion About Lisa Barlow’s Son Going on a Mission

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

On Tuesday’s RHOSLC episode, Heather Gay slammed Lisa Barlow’s decision to allow her son, Jack, to go on a two-year mission with the Mormon Church.

During the season 4 premiere of RHOSLC, Bravo fans learned that Lisa Barlow‘s 18-year-old son, Jack Barlow, planned to go on a two-year mission with the Mormon Church to spread the word of God and hopefully help convert people to the religion.

“About a month ago, Jack and I got into it at home because I wanted to see his essays for two schools he was applying to. He sits down next to me and starts bawling. And I’m like, “What’s going on, Jack?” He’s like, “Mom, it’s gonna be okay because I decided to go on a mission,” Lisa explained in her confessional interview.

“A mission is devoting two years of your life to serving others and teaching people about Jesus Christ. So, Jack’s giving up two years of his life to basically help everyone but himself,” she added.

Lisa later revealed the news to a few of her RHOSLC co-stars while specifically noting that she didn’t want Heather Gay to know about Jack’s plan to serve a mission.

In early September 2023, Jack left for his two-year mission with the LDS Church.

By episode two of season four, Heather learns about Jack’s upcoming mission and discusses her feelings on it with co-star Whitney Rose.

“It’s weird to me. I’d just be curious to know what his motivation was. I literally went on my mission because my friend Diane was at the same point in her life; she’s graduating college. Neither of us had boyfriends, and she’s like, I’ll go if you go. And we went, and then the next thing we know, we were in the temple making death oaths, and we were wearing garbage for the rest of our lives,” Heather tells Whitney about her experience on a mission with the Mormon Church.

A death oath is “a vow to keep the church’s ceremonies secret under penalty of death.”

Heather added that going on a mission is no joke. “It was like a hard knuckle-breaking work. Like you are knocking on doors selling The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that’s all it is. You’re a door-to-door salesman. This seems like a big conflict,” she explains.

The Bad Mormon author questions why Lisa would let Jack go on a mission when she and her husband, John Barlow, are not full-fledged Orthodox Mormons since they drink and don’t follow all of the church’s rules.

“Lisa loves to tell people she’s Mormon, but I don’t see any Mormon coming from Lisa Barlow. All the Mormons I know wear their garments, go to the temple, pay their tithing, and abstain from coffee, tea, alcohol, and cigarettes. She owns a tequila company. She drinks Lisatinis and has signature cocktails. They’re actually morally opposed to it,” Heather notes, adding that she doesn’t believe that Lisa understands how Jack’s mission could change him.

“Jack is going to be teaching that brand of Mormonism. What I don’t think she’s prepared for is who he might be when he comes home, and I think she’s in for a rude awakening,” she continues.

As for Whitney, she doesn’t believe Heather should insert herself into Lisa’s business or judge Jack for deciding to go on a mission.
