Here’s How Dolores Catania Really Feels About Frank Catania’s Girlfriend
The RHONJ cast member isn’t the only one in the Catania family who’s given their take on Brittany.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Dolores Catania and Frank Catania may have both moved on, but the amicable exes are still rooting for each other. Case in point: Frank’s girlfriend, Brittany, celebrated her birthday recently, and Dolores sent her the sweetest compliment.
Sharing to her Instagram Stories on September 7 a photo of Frank and Brittany taken at her charity softball game, the RHONJ ’Wife wrote, “Happy birthday beautiful,” tagging her ex-husband’s new partner. Meanwhile, Frank shared Dolores’ post to his own account later the same day.
Though Frank also called Brittany “beautiful” in his own birthday tribute on Instagram, his post was naturally much more effusive. “I cannot thank you enough for how happy you make me and more importantly how you make me laugh and smile all the time,” he wrote to his girlfriend on September 7. “No matter how crazy life gets, you always make me take a moment to smile and enjoy every single day. I wish you the happiest birthday and only wish that you stay as happy as you make me all the time. Happy Birthday babe.”
Among the commenters on Frank’s post were Dolores’ RHONJ castmates Melissa Gorga, who wrote, “Awwwwwww Frankkkkk,” and Margaret Josephs, who added, “Happy Birthday to the sweetest ray of sunshine.”
They’re not the only ones Brittany has won over. In an August interview with Page Six, Frank described his and Dolores’ daughter, Gabby, as being the “harshest critic” of his dating choices, and even she’s a fan. “Gabby says, ‘How do you not like Brittany? You can’t help but like Brittany!’ It’s not only my daughter; it’s the entire family,” the dad, who also shares a son, Frankie, with his ex, told the outlet. “And Dolores too!”
Fans first got a hint at where Frank’s relationship was headed when he brought Brittany as his plus-one to a May appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. After Andy said it was “very exciting” that his girlfriend was with him, Frank replied, “You know it’s serious then.”
Based on his Instagram post, it seems things have become even more serious since the WWHL appearance, and his loved ones — including Dolores — are totally cool with that.
