There’s no doubt that Melissa Gorga is extremely proud of her family. When The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member turned 40 last year, she described the Gorga crew as her “greatest accomplishment in 40 years,” and she regularly gushes about her children, Antonia, Gino, and Joey, on social media.

Despite the fact that she is typically an open book when it comes to talking about her kids, there’s one Gorga sibling that tends to shy away, according to Melissa. In a May 10 Instagram post, Melissa revealed a few lesser-known details about what her 12 year-old son, Gino, is like. 

“My shy one. Definitely the strongest one and the most sincere,” Melissa wrote in a caption alongside a sweet selfie with her oldest son. “Tests me the most, but when you need a drink of water, he’s the first one up to grab it. My athlete. Thank you for letting me show you off today.” 

While spending more time at home to self-quarantine, Melissa has explained that the “only” silver lining of the situation is the fact that it allows her to spend extra quality time with her children. On April 11, the RHONJ mom shared a photo with both of her sons, noting that they each have incredible senses of humor. 

“My boys. The only plus about this quarantine is spending all the extra time with them,” she captioned the post. “They make me laugh like you wouldn’t believe. Enjoy your families everyone. That’s what’s most important.”
