Dolores Catania is following in the grand tradition of proud Garden State moms who let viewers into their lives on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. This particular mother has two kids, Gabrielle (20) and Frankie (20), and while she's still new to viewers, Dolores and her brood are clearly very much beloved by the RHONJ crew, including both current (Melissa Gorga) and former (Caroline Manzo) Housewives.
Melissa also headed to Twitter for the Catania family love fest.
Dolores recently opened up to The Daily Dish about her longtime friendship with Teresa Giudice, who she has known for decades. "I've known Teresa so long I have actually a specific memory, like here I am nine months pregnant from my daughter, Gabrielle who's now gonna be 21 in September," she recalled (video above). "I was the first to get married and here's my cousin Tanya and Teresa Gorga coming over to hang out at my Shore house, getting ready to go to Temptations. I mean, OK, if that's not a flashback."
You can get to know Dolores even better when RHONJ airs Sundays at 8/7c. Check out a preview of what's to come, below.
