See the “Rare Picture” Jacqueline Laurita Posted of Son C.J.: “Where Has the Time Gone?”

Fellow RHONJ OG Caroline Manzo has some thoughts about the sweet update on her nephew.

By Jocelyn Vena

Times flies and Jacqueline Laurita’s latest photo of her oldest son, C.J., is definitely a reminder of that. The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum recently shared a photo of her C.J. and he is all grown up (get ready to feel old)!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/9c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

“Rare picture of my older son C.J. who turned 20 years old in May! He started on [RHONJ] filming his 6th birthday! Where has the time gone? He rarely lets me posts pictures of him, but because [my husband, Chris Laurita] posted it, I’m posting it too.”

On dad Chris’s Instagram, he wrote about an outing with his son: “Great day playing golf yesterday with my son C.J. Really starting to enjoy this game.”

C.J.’s big sister, Ashlee Holmes Malleo, commented, “Love this pic.”

If the photo left you in your feelings, you’re not alone. C.J.’s aunt, Caroline Manzo, didn’t hold back in the comments section, writing, “He’s a man. And I just saw him a few months ago, but the shock never wears off. He’s a grown ass man. A handsome man.” She also added, “He’s way too big.”

Caroline has always proved to be a proud aunt to her many nieces and nephews. In April, she posted a birthday tribute to her “second daughter,” Candice Laurita. Candice’s dad, Anthony Laurita, is one of Caroline’s many Laurita siblings along with Chris.
