Jennifer Aydin is, once again, defending her marriage.
After reiterating her trust in Dr. Bill Aydin, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom returned to Instagram last week to shut down claims about her husband’s infidelity. The exchange took place in Jennifer’s comments section, where one user suggested Bill had cheated more than once.
“I do have faithful husband- one mistake does not define you,” Jennifer wrote. “I dare anyone out there to come forward and say he cheated again- I dare you! … It was 1 moment in time- that’s it- sorry you’re so jelly that you’d rather believe you’re pea sized brain.”
Jennifer addressed the online drama in a recent interview with OK! magazine and clarified her "1 moment in time" comment.
“People misinterpret when I say only once,” she began. “What I mean is that it was only with one girl. It lasted a month or two.”
Jennifer Aydin explains why she forgave Bill Aydin after he cheated
Jennifer said she ultimately forgave her husband for the affair and agreed to never mention it again “for the sake of [her] relationship."
“When you forgive, you can’t keep bringing up a thing that hurt your family — it will only cause a vicious cycle,” she continued. “He’s a good man that did a bad thing. A mistake that he’s so embarrassed and sorry about that I hate even mentioning it to him… But he’s not a cheater. He’s a man who cheated, and he just got caught up in a moment with someone who was extremely flirty and he got away from himself.”
Jennifer recalls confronting Bill over his affair: He was "scared sh-tless"
Bill’s infidelity was revealed in RHONJ Season 12, more than 10 years after the affair went down. Jennifer said she had confronted Bill about his cheating just a day before giving birth to their youngest son, Christian. She recalled the moment during her chat with OK! magazine, saying her plastic surgeon husband was “scared sh-tless.”
“He sat there and took my wrath and was so nervous I was going to leave him,” she said. “I’m the one who decided to make it work.”
Although she referred to Bill as “the most honest man,” Jennifer knows how’d she react if her hubby was ever unfaithful again.
“At this stage in my life, there’s no way I’d ever stay if he did it to me again — ever,” she insisted. “And he knows that — and he tries every day to make me happy.”
