Melissa Gorga addressed her 20-year marriage to Joe Gorga, and she also gave an update on her kids and her sprinkle cookie brand. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star also revealed what she knows about the cast shakeup and if she’d “bury the hatchet” with Teresa Giudice – her sister-in-law with whom she’s feuding.
Melissa recently launched the sprinkle cookie company, which seemed like an obvious dig at Teresa, who previously fought with her about the food. Last season on RHONJ, Melissa and Teresa barely filmed together, and the show (now on pause) is reportedly getting a cast shakeup.
In an interview for Sherri, Melissa addressed her 20-year marriage to Joe.
“I feel like 20 years is, like, amazing even if you’re not on reality TV these days,” she said. “So to be able to do it in [the] spotlight and kind of having people critique and watch, I have to say I’m extremely lucky. I have an amazing husband … We just have a huge love for family.”
She claimed they both “give and take” and “have fun.” When asked what’s the “sexist thing” she’s given Joe for Valentine’s Day, Melissa said she gives him “promising” notes, which Joe “holds … against” her.
The star also shared an update on her kids. According to Melissa, 17-year-old Gino and 14-year-old Joey‘s hormones are raging, and the high schoolers talk constantly about “girls.” And Antonia, 19, is now cooking elaborate healthy meals as a sophomore in college.
Melissa addressed how she opened a second Envy boutique, and she discussed her “Sprinkle Cookie” brand. Melissa said the cookies are “real Italian” and “such a hit.”
Addressing the cast shakeup, Melissa claimed she “of course” has a chance of returning. “We’ll see,” she said. “We were told we would get news, like, after the New Year, so I do think that they are working on it right now. I have some good [intel].”
“I know they’re definitely talking to bring in some new girls,” she explained. “I’m assuming they’re going to keep some familiar faces as well.”
When asked if there was a chance she would “bury the hatchet” with Teresa, Melissa suggested the “ship has sailed.”
“But we’ll see,” she said. “We don’t know what’s to come … I never say never in life.”
