Paul “Paulie” Connell might have instructed Frank Catania that he already picked out a hoop to suggest to Dolores Catania with. But in line with Margaret Josephs, there could also be a giant purpose why he hasn’t finished so fairly but.
After Margaret revealed after this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey that Dolores’ boyfriend of a couple of 12 months and a half is at the moment married, with another co-stars weighing in on Dolores’ future with the Irishman, Paul set the file straight about his marital standing.
On the May 9 episode of the RHONJ: After Show, Melissa Gorga, Danielle Cabral, and Jennifer Aydin all stated they have been “excited” about Dolores and Paul’s impending engagement as Jackie Goldschneider stated it might “be great.”
“Maybe I’ll actually be excited to go to the wedding,” Melissa joked. “I feel like she wants that. I feel like she plays tough, and she wants to be independent.”
“She is very independent, though,” Rachel Fuda agreed.
However, in line with Jackie, she’s not so positive that Dolores’ independence was one thing she selected for herself.
“I think she was independent because she had no choice. No one was wrapping her up in their arms and saying like, ‘You’re mine,’ like [Frank Catania] wasn’t doing that, [her ex-boyfriend, Dr. David Principe] didn’t do that. Paulie’s doing that now, and clearly she’s into it, so is she really that independent, or did she have no choice?” Jackie questioned.
“I think Dolores has wanted stability for a long time. She’s really committed to this man and let him give her that commitment in return,” she added.
In her personal RHONJ: After Show section, Dolores admitted that she and Paul haven’t felt this manner about anybody else they’ve met “in a very long time.”
“It’s fun to think about things that I haven’t thought about since I was 19 years old. Think about this: I’m divorced for 25 years, 24 years. Could I have gotten married? Of course, I could’ve. But it’s not something that I’ve thought about in so long the way that I think about it now, and it was nice, but it’s not like I’m rushing for it,” she clarified. “I’m very happy with the commitment I have right now, to be honest, but is it nice to dream at the moment and talk about, ‘Oh if we had a wedding, what would it be like?’”
“[It] doesn’t mean we have to go do it tomorrow,” she continued. “Of course, human nature, you think about the next steps, but then you really want to really think about it. I have time. I don’t have little kids.”
In response, Teresa Giudice instructed Dolores she doesn’t “have to get married,” saying she “should beat at [her] own drum.”
Meanwhile, Margaret commented on Paul’s dedication to Dolores.
“I mean, he definitely peed on her leg. Everybody’s like, ‘Oh Dolores wanted a ring from David.’ Sometimes I think Dolores isn’t so rushing to get married. That’s my honest opinion,” Margaret famous.
Then, in a considerably sudden revelation, she revealed she believes Paul is nonetheless married to his ex-wife, the mom of his two sons.
“As far as I know, Paulie’s not divorced,” she shared. “I mean, I guess it’s hard to get married if you’re not divorced. You can give rings.”
And in response to Margaret’s declare, Paul confirmed that regardless of having separated from his ex over a decade in the past, he is at the moment married.
In an announcement to All About the Real Housewives, Paul stated, “I am not divorced [yet] but obviously, I [have been] separated for many years. A document to finalize the past or set the present is not preventing myself and Dolores from planning our future together in any way or form.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
