Jacqueline Laurita Spills Emotional Updates on Her Kids & Husband Chris: "Hard to Believe"

The RHONJ alum spoke candidly about her family's life today as they celebrated some major moments.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey alums Jacqueline Laurita and Chris Laurita have been by each other's side for decades and built a lovely life together with their kids.

After almost 25 years of marriage, it seems that the spark has hardly gone out for these two. Case in point: Jacqueline's recent emotional and, dare we say, extremely romantic tribute to her husband to mark his most recent birthday. She revealed the birthday homage amid many happy moments for her family, including updates on their two sons, Christopher "C.J." and Nicholas (more on that below).

First up, Jacqueline's tribute to Chris sheds new light on their marriage as he marks another year around the sun. "Happy Birthday to the man I could never imagine life without! You deserve all the blessings you receive," she wrote in May 2025. "You check all the boxes in everything I ever wanted in a man, as a husband and a father to our kids. Thank you for being you, my best friend and my rock. I’ll love you for eternity."

The message also caught the eye of those in Jacqueline's family and friend group. In fact, her daughter, Ashlee Holmes, responded, "Was the eggplant emoji really necessary?" Meanwhile Teresa Giudice and Dolores Catania were among the Garden State crew who sent Chris well wishes in the comments.
