Jackie Goldscheider and Jennifer Fessler's friendships with the cast members of ​​​​​​​The Real Housewives of New Jersey were put under a microscope during Season 14.

How to Watch

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

While Jackie's alliance with Teresa Giudice was questioned throughout the season, Jenn Fessler's fractured friendship with Rachel Fuda was put on blast. But Jackie's friendship with Jennifer stayed strong through it all — and her Instagram tribute to Jenn on her birthday is proof of that.

Jackie took to Instagram on Jennifer's birthday (August 9), where she posted a series of photos of her and Jenn throughout the years. In the carousel, Jackie can be seen posing with Jenn, holding hands with her, hanging at the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen Clubhouse, recording a podcast together, and siding up next to one another on a series of selfies.

"Happy birthday to one of my very best friends, the life of the party, my therapist, sister, cohost, and so much more wrapped up in one woman who I adore!" Jackie wrote in the caption of the post. "Looking forward to a million more good times together and can't wait to celebrate you! Comments off so this stands alone as a tribute to your bday. Love you Jenn Fessler. Happy birthday!!"

The BFFs spoke about their friendship during an August 2 episode of their podcast, Two Jersey Js with Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler. "In our case, we share this crazy journey of being on Housewives," Jenn said during the podcast, noting that the show has brought them closer together.

Why Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret Josephs are not friends anymore

While Jackie and Jenn's friendship is thriving, Jackie's friendship with RHONJ cast member Margaret Josephs is practically non-existent at this point. During RHONJ Season 14 Episode 4, Margaret and Jackie confronted each other during a charity softball event.

"You don't take my side in anything," Jackie told Margaret. "You're making excuses for why it's OK for somebody to not invite me to a party."

"Jackie, my whole life I've taken your side," Margaret replied. "I've only championed you...What have you ever done for me?"

Margaret elaborated on her friendship with Jackie during BravoCon 2023 in Las Vegas. "We are not as close as we used to be, which is sad, because she informed me, which I didn't realize, that we're not as close as I thought we were," she said during a panel. "So I took offense to that and it went a little south."

Is Margaret Josephs Still Friendly with Jenn Fessler?

Yes! Margaret also posted a sweet tribute to Jennifer on her birthday: "Happy Birthday to the most hilarious, fabulous friend in the world! I dragged you into the mess, and you still love me! Grateful for you in my life Messy Fessy may we grow old together and laugh about these days! Cheers to getting older and looking younger."
