Lauren Manzo Scalia and Ashlee Holmes Malleo's kids are just months apart — but how close are The Real Housewives of New Jersey kids?

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

According to a recent Instagram pic, very.

Ashlee, who is the daughter of RHONJ alum Jacqueline Laurita, posted a photo of her son with husband Pete Malleo, Cameron Hendrix Malleo, playing with Lauren's daughter with husband Vito Scalia, Marchesa "Markie" Scalia. (Lauren is the daughter of RHONJ alum and Jacqueline's sister-in-law, Caroline Manzo.)  Alongside the adorable photo of the two kids playing together and posing for the camera, Ashlee wrote, "Markie & Cam are so cute together!"

Ashlee clarified in a comment just how close in age the two kids are: Ashlee gave birth to Cameron on August 30, 2016, and Lauren gave birth to Markie on February 24, 2017.

It's nice to see that Ashlee still has a strong family connection in New Jersey, as Ashlee's mother, Jacqueline, stepfather Chris Laurita, and brothers CJ, 17, and Nicholas, 10 just moved to Las Vegas, while Ashlee and her family stayed behind in Jersey. Looking forward to more cute moments from the next generation of RHONJ kids!
