Dina Manzo Shows Off the Gorgeous Additions to Her Backyard: "I Love Them"
The RHONJ alum elevated her outdoor space with a few decorative pieces she purchased in France.
Dina Manzo is giving fans some serious backyard envy.
Weeks after her European family vacation, The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum shared a quick update on her Southern California outdoor space. Dina — who lives in Montecito with her husband, Dave Cantin — confirmed she had received a shipment of garden statues she had found during her time in the South of France. The delivery consisted of a large, deep-red mushroom figure and a set of three smaller versions.
Dina Manzo adds a "little touch of Provence" to her outdoor space
Dina provided a close-up shot of the statues in an early July Instagram story.
“New outdoor mushies for Montecito,” she captioned the photo, which was taken in Provence. The snap highlighted all the statues' striking details, including the textured stipes and caps, and the beautiful patina throughout.
The pieces were unboxed over the weekend and placed at the top of Dina’s garden steps.
“I love them,” she captioned a photo that showed the smaller mushrooms symmetrically positioned around the larger one.
“Little touch of Provence,” she wrote in another Story.

The statues were the perfect addition to Dina’s outdoor space, which went heavy on the French garden vibes. Her photos and videos provided peeks at the stone walkways that were lined with beautiful flowers and greenery, including shrubs, small conifers, and potted plants. Dina also shared several looks at her rustic water fountain, which was surrounded by moss.
Several hours later, Dina returned to Instagram to show off the stunning views from her Montecito estate. The footage captured her backyard pool, the property's lush greenery, and a breathtaking sunset with pink and orange hues.
“Beautiful night,” she said in the clip.
Does Dina Manzo plan to return to New Jersey?
After exiting RHONJ in Season 6, Dina relocated to the West Coast, where she and David reside with Lexi Ioannou — Dina’s only daughter from a previous marriage. The former Jersey ’Wife spoke about her living situation in a series of January Instagram posts, explaining she and her family split their time between their California and Florida homes: “I usually don’t post but we moved and the security is top notch now so I feel more comfortable,” she captioned a post of the latter property.
When asked if she missed anything about New Jersey, the multi-hyphenate flatly replied, “My mom.”
She also made it clear she had no desire to return to the Garden State, simply stating, “It’s not for me.”
