Dolores Catania Confirms Current Relationship Status with Boyfriend David Principe

There have been rumors that The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple is no more.

By Laura Rosenfeld

Dolores Catania's future with boyfriend David Principe seems to be unclear this season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey... but now we know what the couple's present looks like.

How to Watch

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

Following rumors that Dolores and David had split, a fan asked the RHONJ cast member about their current relationship status during the December 11 Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen After Show. "I can confirm we have not [broken up]," Dolores said of her alive-and-well romance. "He's actually home watching right now. Hi, David."

While it's certainly nice that David was showing his support for Dolores by checking out her appearance on WWHL, it was also a little awkward since Andy Cohen gave him the dreaded honor of Jackhole that night. "No, it's OK," Dolores told Andy. "He sent Frank [Catania] middle finger emojis."

That wasn't the only uncomfortable moment of the night. Earlier in the episode, Dolores discussed her ex-husband's comments about her relationship with David in the December 11 episode of RHONJ — as he watched from the WWHL audience. 

Even though 93 percent of the WWHL audience thought Frank was right to be concerned about David's lack of commitment to Dolores, the New Jersey Housewife actually found the whole thing quite comforting. "You know, I appreciate that. We're very close, and I know in my life, the people that are very close to me, I don't mind them jumping in when they feel they need to," she said. "But I got it, Frank."

Frank has a lot of love for both Dolores and David, so much so that Dolores joked that "they got engaged," and she's "the maid of honor" during The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 10 After Show, which you can view, above.

Dolores and David will continue to be a major topic of conversation in the next episode of RHONJ on December 18. Check out a preview below, and catch up with this season through the Bravo app.
