Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga just sent off their only daughter, Antonia Gorga, for her sophomore year at the University of Delaware — and it's already proving to be quite an emotional time for Joe.
Just a few weeks after The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member and her husband moved Antonia into her first-ever apartment, Joe took a video of him walking by her empty bedroom in the Gorgas Franklin Lakes home.
"Your brothers and I [were] just looking at your room, and I'm looking like, 'Where is she?'" Joe said in a video that Antonia later posted to her Instagram Stories on Sept. 9. "I came and I opened [the door] and I looked and you're not there."
"Always missing you," he concluded in the sweet post.
Joe's emotional video also got Antonia in her feels as well. "My dad sent me this this morning," the 19-year-old captioned the video, along with a cry face emoji.
Where does Antonia Gorga go to college?
Joe and Melissa's eldest daughter just started her sophomore year at the University of Delaware.
Back in May 2024, Melissa exclusively told BravoTV.com that her daughter hadn't officially decided on a major yet, but that she was leaning towards "marketing," "media" and "maybe communications."
"So she's dabbling in all three," Melissa shared. "I do think she's leaning towards marketing, believe it or not. The last she told me she was leaning towards marketing. So that works. We can use all the marketing we can get in our family."
What sorority is Antonia Gorga in?
Gino and Joey Gorga's older sister Antonia joined the Alpha Phi sorority at the University of Delaware when she was a freshman.
Back in February 2024, Antonia announced her spot in Alpha Phi on Instagram.
"New home," she captioned a carousel of images from bid day.
Antonia Gorga's college apartment for her sophomore year
Back on August 21, Melissa and Joe moved Antonia into her first-ever off-campus apartment.
"It’s that time of year: Time to head back to college and look who’s driving me there," Melissa shared in a video that she posted on her Instagram Stories. "This time, though, we’re not going to the dorms. We’re all packed up and we’re moving Antonia into her first-ever apartment."
Suffice to say, Melissa was in awe of her daughter's latest milestone.
"Like, what is happening? I mean, she’s gonna have to learn how to cook for herself..." she continued. "She has her own bedroom. So this is all new. I don’t even know how I have a 19-year-old child. I feel like I was just 19… Another milestone."
Later on in the day, Joe helped Antonia assemble some of her brand-new furniture. Joe put together his daughter's bed, though she later joked that he did it "crooked."
After some trials and tribulations with assembling the furniture, Antonia's new bedroom was complete. Joe and Melissa soon returned to Franklin Lakes, though it's clear that the two are deeply missing their daughter.
