The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter just provided a major update on how her mom, Dina, is doing today in her marriage.
Dina Manzo has been keeping a much lower profile since her time on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. But Dina's daughter, Lexi Iaonnou, just shared a major update on how she is doing today in her life and her marriage to Dave Cantin.
Dina has since traded in her New Jersey roots for the sunny coast of California and Florida, where she resides with her husband, Dave. Although Dina doesn't post too often to her Instagram feed, her posts are filled with so many smiles and so much sunshine. According to Lexi, who is now a shoe designer, Dina really is so happy with Dave.
Lexi appeared on Next Gen NYC cast member, Gia Giudice's podcast, Casual Chaos, on May 27, where she opened up about how her mom is doing today. "She's thriving where she is," Lexi said, noting that her mom found "her own happiness" when she met Dave.
"She's so happy where she is," she added. "She has a community that's aligned with what she loves. And I love where she lives."

Dina and Lexi are still as close as ever. "We're close enough to each other that we can see each other, but we're not up each other's...we were always way too co-dependent," Lexi told Gia. "So it was good to kind of break apart for a bit."
While she might be a bit more independent now, Lexi still attributes so much to Dina. The Nou founder took to Instagram on May 11, where she posted a Reel and revealed all of her favorite things about her mom. "She's strange and hilarious," she said in the voice-over. "Somehow ages backwards. Raised me on crystals, carbs, and brutal honesty. Always following her lead. She's taught me to move with love, adorn all things beautiful, and never settle for bad lighting or bad energy."
