We’ve been listening closely as Dolores Catania has been sharing more and more info about her boyfriend, Paul Connell, since they first went public on Instagram back in February.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/7c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

For instance, she confirmed during Part 2 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 reunion, which aired May 10, that she and the Dublin native began dating late last summer, and since then he's been introduced to the RHONJ cast. As you might recall, he even made a cameo via FaceTime during the reunion. But now we’re getting to hear from Paulie, thanks to a recent interview he gave to Page Six, shared via Instagram.

During the interview, Paul noted that his girlfriend is “a good woman.” Then, when he was asked if marriage was the next step for the pair, he responded, “I’d say we’re doing a lot of talking.”

When Dolores noted they are in the relationship with the “right intentions,” Paul agreed, “There’s a lot of good things coming,” he added.

As a matter of fact, Dolores was also asked about her thoughts on their future together during Part 2 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12 reunion. “Any chance of wedding bells with Paulie?” Andy Cohen asked her, to which she answered, “I don’t know. Everything is there that I like and I want, but there’s always… you just never know.”

Will Dolores spill more tea about her love life? Find out when Part 3 airs on Tuesday, May 17. Watch new episodes of RHONJ Tuesdays at 8/7c and streaming on Peacock, plus catch up with the Bravo app.
