It’s hard to believe Dolores Catania and Frank Catania have been divorced since 1998. Most Housewives divorces are fresh, happening throughout their respective shows. But this Real Housewives of New Jersey star has been living the bachelorette life for over two decades.

Another thing that makes their ‘estrangement’ so hard to believe is how close Dolores and Frank have remained. Even as Dolores found a new boo, Paul Connell, Frank still held no ill will to his former partner.

While Dolores and Paul seem to get along swimmingly, Paul was entrenched in some controversy when he first stepped on the scene. Fans soon found out he was married to another woman. Granted, he was in the process of divorce. Paul recently spoke with Page Six about his future with Dolores.

Will Paul and Dolores broadcast their wedding?

While Paul will still have to, in his words, “wait for the divorce” with his ex to be finalized, he confirmed there is a plan once that happens. “I think we have a plan that’s in effect that we believe is going to be within our time schedule. She’s happy about that, so am I, so I think everybody else will be.”

As for whether he and Dolores would broadcast their wedding, Paulie said, “That’s all up to her. I’m, like, new to this whole thing, so whatever she wants goes.” But regardless of when and how they wed, Paul said he expected a practical joke from Frank. “He’ll probably be the guy that stands up [at the wedding] and says, ‘Does anyone have a problem?’ ‘Yes, I do.’”

He confirmed that things were good between him and Frank. “I like Frank. Frank likes me. I think we’re good. I think it’s a good blend right now at the moment, so hopefully it stays that way.” And as for the ceremony, Paul confirmed, “Yeah, he’ll probably be at the wedding, for sure.”

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 is expected to air on Bravo in early 2024.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke Gives Her Reaction to Shannon Beador’s Arrest

More details continue to emerge on Shannon Beador’s arrest. Fans let out a collective sigh of disappointment when it came out that Shannon was arrested for DUI and one other misdemeanor.

Some were shocked; others had seen it coming from a mile away. Shannon’s arrest has been and will continue to be a talking point among reality stars for the foreseeable future, especially among fellow Real Housewives of Orange County stars.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke is in a unique position, however. Not only was she on RHOC with Shannon, but Braunwyn has been very candid about her alcoholism and sobriety. So, It was no wonder she shared a statement.

Braunwyn defends Shannon (slightly)

On Monday, September 18, Braunwyn spoke with Us Weekly about Shannon’s arrest. “I think Shannon has been going through a hard year,” she said. But she clarified, “Obviously, what happened is not OK. You should never drink and drive. It was a very unfortunate night for her, but fortunately no one was hurt.”

Braunwyn also expressed her hope that the experience would be an “eye-opening moment” and a “catalyst for change” for Shannon. She added, “I know Shannon has a big heart and hope this can become her story where this is a moment when everything changed for the better.” She noted that she and Shannon used to be “great drinking buddies,” before reflecting on her sobriety.

She expressed, “When I was active in my drinking I did things I am not proud of. But I am not the person I am while I was drinking. The moment I decided to put the bottle down, that is the moment I became the person I was meant to be. People who are drinking will look for any excuse as to why their drinking is not an issue.”

Season 17 of Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo, Wednesday nights at 8/7c.
