Lauren Manzo became a household name thanks to Caroline Manzo’s star power on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. As the youngest of three and the only girl, Lauren was a proud Jersey girl who loved her family. During the series, viewers watched as she fell in love with her brother’s best friend, Vito Scalia. The duo married in 2015, and the wedding was filmed for the spinoff Manzo’d With Children. However, the dream life has ended as Lauren has finalized her divorce.

After eight years of marriage, news broke that Vito decided to file for divorce from Lauren back in October of 2023. Viewers of the Real Housewives of New Jersey learned that the deli owner filed the divorce paperwork in September 2023. In the legal documents, the father of one noted, “The parties have experienced irreconcilable differences for a period of at least six months, which has caused the breakdown of their marriage, and it is apparent that the marriage should be dissolved as there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.” At the time, the two still lived in the same home they had bought together in 2016.

Before serving Lauren, he also filed the Marital Settlement Agreement in July. The MSA is a legal document that outlines the terms of a divorce. It’s also known as a Property Settlement Agreement. The pair share a seven-year-old daughter. Lauren quickly responded, telling fans, “By now, you guys have seen the news that has broken. I just want to let you guys know we’re all good. This has been done for a very long time. The last part of the process was filing. We were on the same page. This is something that we did together.”

Lauren went on to say, “All that matters to us is that our daughter is happy and healthy. Our privacy is important to us. We haven’t been on TV in seven years, which is why we did not feel the need for some dramatic announcement. And we continue to move forward with love and respect for each other. And we will always be a family, and that’s it. It’s about our daughter and her privacy because she didn’t ask to be on TV — we did,” Lauren concluded. With the statement fans quickly noticed that Vito had also moved on. 

According to The Daily Mail, Vito had been dating Dominique Valenti. The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum started appearing on the entrepreneur’s social media in August 2023. It didn’t go unnoticed that Dominique often posts messages gushing about her new man. She recently gave a birthday shout-out to her new beau. It read, “Happy Birthday to the most amazing gift I ever received! You’re simply the best, and there is no other way to put it! Anyone that knows you loves you, and if they don’t … definitely their loss,” she wrote. “Thank you for being my best friend!”

Lauren Manzo and her divorce settlement

Recently, The Daily Mail reported that Vito and Lauren had finalized their divorce in November 2024, just one year after the paperwork was filed. A judge officially signed off on the judgment thanks to their Marital Settlement Agreement, which was “drawn up by both parties” back in July 2023. The document states “that both parties shall share joint legal custody with Markie’s primary residence being with Lauren and the ‘alternate residence’ being with Vito.” The former couple also agreed to “confer and consult with each other’ when it comes to all matters of their daughter Markie, and they agreed to work with a therapist, especially ‘to explain the divorce to the child.’” 

Caroline will also help with the exchange of Markie when it comes to visitation. Albert Manzo and Caroline’s home in Franklin Lakes has been named the “exchange point for parenting exchanges,” according to the court docs. Each parent has agreed to a set of guidelines, including “providing the child with an emotional environment in which she is free to continue to love the other parent and to spend time with the other parent, encouraging a good feeling from the child about the other parent and relatives, refraining from fighting, arguing or degrading the other parent in the presence of the child, and presenting a united front on the handling of any problem in front of the child.” 

Vito also agreed to pay Lauren $1,000 a month for child support. As for spousal support, Vito agreed to pay Lauren a “limited duration alimony in the amount of $4,000 per month for a period of 27 months.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is available to stream on Peacock.

Tom Sandoval Starred in Two Bon Jovi Music Videos That Eerily Echo Scandoval

Sound your penis flutes. We just found three additional gigs booked by Tom Sandoval, showing us that he has a wildly impressive resume. Tom is a Vanderpump Rules alum and lead singer of his cover band, Tom Sandoval and The Most Extras. But as we just discovered, the pre-Scandoval Tom was also the face of three different music videos.

It is almost like Tom was not even performing in these videos. Or, maybe he truly honed into and resonated with each character played. We suggest this because two of these videos mirror the Scandoval storyline that would later come knocking on his door.

Wildly, these two music videos belong to Captain Kidd, AKA Jon Bon Jovi.

Bon Jovi – Misunderstood, featuring Tom Sandoval

If Tom had only known 15 years ago that the music video shot for Bon Jovi would play out as a real-life storyline on VPR over a decade later, would he have still agreed to this gig? Either way, the lyrics to Misunderstood are messy. Yet, seeing Tom act out the lyrics that would later come to fruition through Scandoval takes messiness to an entirely different level altogether.

After Tom cheated on Ariana Madix with Rachel Leviss, Ariana grew understandably irate. The fans hated this storyline as well. Therefore, their vitriol against Tom began sounding left and right. In response, Tom took to multiple outlets to say that he was sorry.

His deflection knew no bounds, making it difficult to get past what he and Rachel had done. Now, check these lyrics to Misunderstood.

If I could turn back time, you’d still be mine
You cried, I died
I should have shut my mouth [but] things headed south
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb

These lyrics mirror Scandoval a lot. Tom failed to handle his final sit-down with Ariana well. His words were lacking, so she verbally devoured him.

You cried, I tried
To stretch the truth, but didn’t lie
It’s not so bad
You think about it

I stumbled like my words
[I] Did the best I could, damn
Misunderstood, intentions good

In the video, a heartbroken Tom is arrested and framed for a crime. Once freed, he attends a Bon Jovi concert, singing along about how misunderstood he is. Later, a naked woman falls on him through his ceiling, creating another deflection-like narrative as the music ends.

Bon Jovi – All About Lovin’ You, featuring Tom Sandoval

When Bon Jovi hired Tom to star in his video for All About Lovin’ You, it was almost like he was foretelling the Scandoval future. Shot 15 years ago, it centers around a love that the singer can never replace.

Before his affair made headlines, Tom was all about Ariana. However, once she dipped out, Tom admitted that he loved Rachel. His admission came during a scene filmed with Rachel in her kitchen, where she misunderstood his words. In clarifying his statements, he confessed that he loved her.

All About You speaks of a deep, enduring love that triumphs over adversities. Based on the lyrics, the man is at fault for many of these hardships. And yes, Tom is acting out the part of the guilty male in this video.

At first, Bon Jovi sings about how he is to blame for various struggles in this relationship. And yes, Tom is acting out the part of the guilty in this video.

Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I’ve made a few
[I] Took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through

That last line is very Ariana-coded. Ariana covered for Tom often. Yet, once we remove Ariana from this mess, we see what mirrors their downfall in this video, complete with a flashback to the song above, showing Tom in bed with a naked woman, trying to explain away his antics. Cue a montage of better days, as seen in this video and the final episode of VPR.

Sadly (albeit understandably), Tom could not get either woman to stay following the Scandoval BS. In the end, he lost them both.

OWSLA – Kill The Noise and Feed Me – I Do Coke, featuring Tom Sandoval

Our last dug-up find arrives with an age-restricted label. Therefore, you can only watch this video on YouTube. But be warned, once you see it, you might need to cover your face like our Pumpers do in the image above, as the Tom cringe is high.

The artists Kill the Noise and Feed Me decided to create a collab nearly eight years ago. These musicians hired Tom to film the video for their joint venture, Kill The Noise and Feed Me – I Do Coke.

As the music video begins, we see Tom driving a car, presumably sniffing something off his steering wheel. He then exits his car and heads into a dimly lit club as a female sings, “I do coke so I can work longer, so I can earn more, so I can do more coke.”

These lyrics are the only ones in this song. As the beats morph, the patrons Tom passes are either dancing, crushing pills, arranging fine lines of white powder, or pretending to ingest lines of coke into their systems.

Meanwhile, Tom passes all of this and enters a bathroom with his baggy to partake in private. After, the singer’s voice turns male as Tom begins to lip-synch along to the coke-loving words. In his faux stupor, an excited Tom looks up to see cheerleaders dancing before his eyes. As their dancing grows erratic, random nosebleeds pop up across the lot while Tom begins soaring over a red carpet.

Sometimes, life gives you lemons. Other times, it hands you old videos starring Tom. Stay blessed, and order yourselves a bowl of pasta tonight. IYKYK.

Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock.
