Get the latest on Dolores’ friendships with Teresa Giudice and her husband.
After all the drama surrounding Frankie Catania’s former job working for Luis “Louie” Ruelas played out at The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 reunion, Dolores Catania is back on course (well, the golf course) with Teresa Giudice’s husband.
Dolores and her boyfriend, Paul “Paulie” Connell, joined Louie and Teresa in a golf foursome at a charity outing on June 26. See more from their double date — and find out where things really stand between the four now — by scrolling below.
Teresa and Louie’s Relationship with Dolores and Paulie
The longtime pals and RHONJ cast members participated in a golf outing for charity with their men, and they documented the day on social media. Paulie showcased his swings and his golf cart driving skills on Dolores’ Instagram Stories, and Dolores shared a video of Louie giving a thumbs-up before the foursome teed off.
Teresa chronicled the outing in a TikTok video, which she captioned, “Such a fun day with some great people.”
“Hi, guys! Today we’re golfing. I’m with my girl Dolores... So we’re here today and we’re ready to start going. I’m going to get the hole in one,” the RHONJ OG said in her TikTok video (which you can check out below), before panning her phone’s camera over to Paulie and Louie.
Though Teresa thought she could sink her golf ball in the hole in just one shot, she later changed her tune.
“I just found out what a hole in one is. And Louie said it’s really hard to get a hole in one,” she added once the foursome began playing. Dolores, Louie, and Paulie could then be heard laughing in the background.
Dolores has remained on good terms with Teresa and Louie, but there was a tense moment between the three and Dolores’ ex, Frank Catania, at the RHONJ Season 13 reunion.
Why isn’t Frankie Catania working with Louie?
During the RHONJ Season 13 reunion, Frank revealed that he was upset with Louie. Frank said that Louie didn’t tell his son that his business was shutting down. (Frankie previously worked for Louie.)
“He didn’t tell Frankie. Frankie was reaching out and called me and said, ‘Dad, what do I do? I’ve been calling Louie and he won’t respond,’” Frank recalled in a previously unseen conversation with Joe Gorga.
When Frank and the RHONJ husbands came out to the reunion stage, the discussion continued about Frankie.

“No, Frankie’s no longer with Louie,” Frank said when host Andy Cohen asked him about Frankie’s job status.
Dolores, however, defended Louie, and she revealed that Frankie was happy at his new job.
“Right now, I’m gonna tell you what happened,” Dolores said. “Louie gave my son a job. He was very happy working with him, and I’m very thankful for Louie. I don’t know what this rumor is, and I don’t want to talk about Frankie at all in this cesspit of anything.”
She then confirmed that Frankie and Louie are on good terms.
“This ends right here about Louie and Frankie’s relationship, ’cause they’re very good,” Dolores added. “So that ends right here.”
