We Need to Know More About This Flirty Moment Between Dolores Catania and a Cowboy

Season 12 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is just heating up, and we have the proof.

Still to Come on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12...

We're making our way through Season 12 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and it looks like, at some point, we'll know the answer to "how Dolo got her groove back" as the season progresses. (OK, yes, we admit Dolores Catania has always had her groove, but we just couldn't resist the reference!)

How to Watch

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

The RHONJ Season 12 midseason trailer is upon us(!!), and mixed in with moments of friendship and relationship drama, emotional changes, and shifts in dynamics, there is one fleeting moment of Dolores meeting up with a cowboy(!!), and we are all about his "hey, darlin'" to her. Even BFF Teresa Giudice has something to say.

As you will recall, Dolores confirmed her split from longtime boyfriend, David Principe, earlier this season, and it looks like as the season moves along, she's ready to have some fun with a cutie in a cowboy hat (and who could blame her?).

We suggest you check out the full teaser above to check out everything else (and we mean every single thing) the cast will be dealing with this season. It's an emotional roller coaster, to say the least.

While we'll have to wait and see where things go between Dolores and her cowboy on RHONJ, these days, she is seeing a special someone, Paul "Paulie" Connell. And she recently opened up all about him during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen shortly after they went Instagram official.

"It's a very different relationship," Dolores said during her February appearance. "He's a Dubliner."

She noted they were set up by a mutual friend, and he's met some of her RHONJ pals since they started dating. "He's met Margaret [Josephs], he's met Teresa on FaceTime, he met Jennifer [Aydin]," Dolores revealed.
