Everything You Need to Know About The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Melissa Gorga

Since joining the Bravo-verse in 2011, Melissa Gorga has proven to be quite courageous. Audiences have seen the mother of three bravely address uncomfortable situations, make big career moves, and deftly confront a few of her foes. Although her bold confidence is, no doubt, admirable, Melissa is letting the world know she's far from fearless.

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.

On Sunday, January 21, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom posted a quick video in which she jokingly revealed one of her fears. The clip showed Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, sitting in their kitchen while lip-syncing dialogue from Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The lines were taken from a 2018 episode in which Khloé and Kim Kardashian discussed their sister Kourtney’s cold attitude.

“Oh my god, she’s coming,” Melissa pretended to say before Joe mouthed, “I don’t understand the f—king attitude.”

“I’m so afraid of her,” Melissa lip-synched. “I don’t get it.”

The shot then cut to their daughter, Antonia Gorga, entering the room with the family dog Nico in her arms.

“Hey,” Antonia mouthed over Kourtney’s voice. 

Melissa jokingly captioned the video — originally posted on Antonia’s TikTok page — with, “I’m truly afraid.” The Jersey daughter was clearly in on the joke, as she hopped in the comments section to defend herself: “I’m so nice,” she wrote followed by some eye-roll emojis.

Melissa Gorga reflects on Antonia's college experience

Melissa shared the skit as Antonia headed into her second semester at the University of Delaware. The Jersey mom spoke about Antonia’s new chapter at BravoCon 2023, saying her daughter had successfully adapted to college life.

“She’s thriving. She’s doing amazing. She loves college,” Melissa said during the “In a Jersey State of Mind” panel. “Thank God Antonia has a great head on her shoulders. She’s a good kid and she’s doing really, really well.”

Antonia returned to New Jersey last month to spend winter break alongside her family. The weeks-long vacation included ice skating at Rockefeller Center, a delicious-looking holiday feast, and a trip to Aruba

Melissa documented the tropical getaway on her Instagram page, where she posted photos of her and Antonia enjoying the beach, as well as a snap of her husband’s fishing excursion with their two sons, Joey and Gino. The Jersey mom shared an update on the latter child over the weekend, shortly after he competed in a local wrestling tournament.

“Proud of my boys today!” she captioned the January 21 photo, which showed Gino posing with his plaque. “Placed 6th in [the Bergen County Wrestling tournament]. He works hard!”
