Caroline Manzo's dedication and love for her family was certainly evident during her time on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. When she first joined the series, her three kids, Albie, Chris, and Lauren, were on the brink of adulthood. Now they are all grown up, with careers, relationships, and families of their own.

How to Watch

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

But, Caroline noted in an exclusive interview with Bravo Insider's Life After Bravo series, that appearing on the show "completely changed" everything for her Garden State family "in both good and bad ways."

In the early days, Andy Cohen and producers noted that it would be the case, but, she says that she listened to that advice "never realizing, for a moment, how it would completely change the trajectory of our world." 

In the end, she noted that all these years later, "I have no regrets."
