Melissa Antonia Gorga Family Update

When Melissa Gorga recently shared a peek inside her family’s New Year’s Eve festivities, we couldn’t help but notice her daughter, Antonia Gorga, was missing from the photo. But The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member was quick to offer an all-too-relatable explanation for the teen’s absence.

How to Watch

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

In an Instagram post on December 31, Melissa shared a sweet picture of her and husband Joe Gorga dressed in cozy loungewear and relaxing on the couch with their two sons, Joey and Gino.

Okay 2020. It’s time to go. Take a walk! Go scratch! We are ready for some change!,” she wrote in the caption, also adding, “Love to all of you from the Gorga Fam!! (including Antonia, who is too cool for a pic).” Something tells us every parent of a teenager has been there!

The RHONJ mom went on to add, “Thank you for always having our back! We love you too! Happy new year everyone!! Xoxoxo.”

While Antonia may have been feeling camera-shy on New Year’s Eve, the 14-year-old, who is still recovering from her recent knee surgery, did pose for a precious mother-daughter photo on Christmas Day. “My baby girl had a little bump in the road.. but who hasn’t in 2020 right?!” the caption read in part.
