"He truly is the love of my life," Jacqueline wrote in the caption of the post.

"He is the rock of our family. He always makes us feel safe and protected at all times. I love how he still flirts with me and manages to make me feel sexy even through my 50's," she added. "His sense of humor always makes me laugh and he has the best bitmoji responses to my texts. He has the patience of a saint."

Weeks later, Jacqueline revealed that her son, CJ Laurita, celebrated his 22nd birthday on May 24 in New Jersey, where he reunited with his half-sister and Jacqueline's oldest child, Ashlee Holmes.
