Dolores Catania’s boyfriend, David Principe, is full of surprises. From his wonderfully wholesome bromance with The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member’s ex-husband, Frank Catania, to the fact that he once went to sniper school, the Garden State doctor is always keeping us on his toes. From some fun photos Dolores recently shared, it looks like he recently had something very exciting in store for her. 

How to Watch

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

Along with her fellow cast member Margaret Josephs, as well as Marge’s mom, Marge Senior, and husband, Joe Benigno, Dolores took a weekend trip to the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Connecticut. 

“Fabulous time hitting the slots and brunching it up at [Mohegan Sun] this weekend with [Margaret Josephs], [Marge Senior], and [Joe Benigno],” Dolores captioned a March 15 post, in which she shared some photos of the crew looking incredibly fabulous on their trip. In the last slide, Dolores added a sweet shot of David with her daughter, Gabby Catania, noting, “Had the best surprise visit from my two doctors [Gabby Catania] and Dr. Principe.” 

David definitely has a close relationship with both of Dolores’ children. In fact, David and her son, Frankie Jr., even lived together without her! During the RHONJ Season 11 premiere, the proud mom explained the living situation: “I built the house with my boyfriend, David. Didn’t move in. I love at my house with my ex-husband and then my son, Frankie, comes home from school during the pandemic and decides to study for his GMAT test to get into graduate school for business. Now my son lives in my boyfriend’s house studying.”
