Why We Want To Be Brynn Whitfield When We Grow Up

We were all trepidatious when Bravo fans were told their beloved Real Housewives of New York franchise was not getting the boot but being rebooted. Luckily, the new group of women really won fans over, particularly Brynn Whitfield. The loveable singleton cracked jokes at her own expense and never took life too seriously. In my opinion, Brynn is the whole package: Beautiful, funny, and flawed in an honest sort of way.  

She looks like Meghan Markle

Okay, maybe not everyone in the world wants to be compared to the woman who single-handedly rocked the royal family recently. But hey, Brynn could be the spitting image of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Correction: the pre-royal version of Meghan Markle. You know, the girl who held briefcases on Deal or no Deal. The two have a lot in common.

What would Jesse Solomon Do?

He’s hit on her, of course! In a recent post, Brynn captioned a black and white photo of herself asking, “Finance. Trust fund, 6’5, blue eyes.” The new season of RHONY showed Brynn opening up her heart for love and bringing much-needed levity to the season. When Jesse Solomon slid into the comment section with the simple question, “Should I get color contacts?” fans were here for the match made in heaven. I mean, if you get one of the hottest guys from Summer House hitting on you, she must be doing something right.  

I actually love this pairing for a hookup. Brynn has her choice of men. So, I don’t necessarily think Jesse is her type. But she always said she was looking for an Abe Lichy. And that could be Jesse. Brynn knows precisely what she wants, and she isn’t about to settle on a Bravolebrity, in my opinion. But it must be nice with a smile or wink of your eye to have multiple men standing on her front stoop at any given moment. 

Brynn is our generation’s Jessica Rabbit

Some women just have the IT factor. Like Brynn, these women come across with a girl next door vibe mixed with a vixen. No matter what Brynn chooses to wear, she looks great. Between a lime green dress and jeans and a baseball cap, you just don’t know what kind of girl you’re getting. Brynn can keep everyone on their toes as they try to figure out her next move. Which they won’t. Without a doubt, Brynn is a smokeshow, but she also comes across as extremely kind.

I imagine she has some sort of superpower that I can only dream of. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, but she is also the kind of girl you want to be friends with. The freshman season showed Brynn opening up about her tough childhood and embracing new friendships. She was comfortable in her own skin, which is something to be admired. So many of us nowadays second guess who we are due to being bombarded with images or ads. But Brynn makes being herself look easy, and I’d like to imitate that. 

Brynn gives single girls hope

I swear Brynn makes looking single easy. Even though she is more than open to finding her perfect match, she isn’t about to stop having fun while waiting for it. The fashionista embraced her relationship title. And shared all the benefits that go along with not having to think about a partner. She showed how fun living on your own could be, including learning chess and searching for the perfect rare book for her collection. Honestly, watching Brynn share her single life was a breath of fresh air for those who are tired of being told, “Oh, you’ll be next.” 

TELL US – DO YOU LOVE BRYNN AS MUCH AS WE DO? WHY DO YOU THINK SHE IS THE BEES KNEES?

How Does RHONJ’s John Fuda Make His Money?

Photo Credit: Dominik Bindl/Getty Images

The past and present income of RHONJ star John Fuda is the subject of a lot of speculation lately. On the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere, Teresa Giudice confronted his wife, Rachel Fuda, at a party she held for Jennifer Fessler. Repeating rumors she heard from his ex Brittany Malsch, Tre alleged that John was “the biggest drug dealer in Bergen County”. Naturally, John dramatically denied this.

Teresa isn’t the biggest fan of John or Rachel, especially because they came for her husband, Luis Ruelas. And the feeling is mutual. At the Season 13 reunion, John brought up that Luis hired a private investigator, the notorious Bo Dietl, to dig up dirt on his past. It also doesn’t help that the Fudas are close friends with the Gorgas.

Regardless of whether or not they believe Teresa’s accusations, the rumors do make viewers wonder about John and Rachel’s finances. Since the Fudas just joined the show in Season 13, Bravo fans don’t know them as well as longtime Real Housewives like Tre. Adding to the questions and speculation is that John, like many of Jersey’s Househusbands, is such a big fixture on the show. Here’s everything we know so far about how John earns a living.

What does John Fuda do for a living?

A post shared by John Fuda (@johnfuda_)

John’s employment history can be found on his LinkedIn profile. According to the site, John’s worked as a manager at Fuda Tile and Marble since 2000. The tile company is John’s family business, and it was first established way back in 1948.

In addition to the 24 years at his family business, John also owns his own company. He’s the President and CEO of Valet King, a business he started in 2013. According to the Valet King website, the company provides business and residential buildings with valet and parking services, including door attendants, concierge staff, car washing, etc. These services are typically offered to car dealerships, hotels, parking garages, and casinos.

In Rachel’s RHONJ cast bio, this company was referred to as “fast-growing”. Over the years, this business has expanded beyond New Jersey. At this time, they also service New York, Philadelphia, and Miami, Florida.

Rachel and John work side by side at both of his Ramsey-based companies. At one point, they had a restaurant called Burger Boss, with menu items inspired by the Fudas’ love of mafia movies. As viewers will recall, Rachel’s RHONJ Season 13 tagline was, “I’m too busy running a business to care about yours”.

What is John Fuda’s reported net worth?

A post shared by John Fuda (@johnfuda_)

John’s net worth is estimated to be in the millions. Entrader estimates that he’s worth about $2.5 million. But The Cinemaholic estimated that he could be worth as much as $5.5 million.

When Rachel first joined the show, Life & Style reported that her estimated net worth was $400k. While we don’t know her exact RHONJ salary, it’s safe to assume she’s not making as much in her sophomore season as OG Teresa’s salary or the other longtime Jersey Housewives.

What about John’s past employment?

A post shared by John Fuda (@johnfuda_)

In an early episode of Season 13, Rachel shared how she first met John. Then at 22 years old, she was working as a bartender in Totowa. John was 24, and already making business moves. At the time, he told her that he just sold a pizzeria that he owned. “He was trying to be, like, a hotshot,” Rachel recalled.

In Season 13, Rachel called her husband a “superstar”. Rachel also claimed that John used to model. On the show, he returned to modeling for Dolores Catania’s charity calendar. And he apparently appeared on an episode of Law & Order. However, this credit doesn’t appear on John’s IMDb page.

What has John said in response to the rumors about his past?

A post shared by John Fuda (@johnfuda_)

Back in May, when RHONJ Season 14 first began, John took to social media to address the speculation about his past. In his Instagram statement responding to the allegations, John repeatedly referred to himself as a “respected” and “esteemed” “entrepreneur and philanthropist”. He also claimed to dedicate himself to “numerous charitable causes and business endeavors”. And he said to contact the Fudas for media inquiries, instead of a professional publicist. Maybe PR is the latest Fuda business endeavor?

John responded to another drug-related accusation last year. He admitted to an arrest for operating a vehicle with possession of a narcotic. He told Page Six, “I was never convicted and the charges were dismissed”.

John’s statement is the type of thing that would naturally come up at a reunion. However, RHONJ Season 14 won’t have a typical reunion. The news has fans speculating about a potential cast overhaul. If that happens, we’ll have to see if the Fudas make the cut.

Teresa Giudice’s Best RHONJ Episodes

Photo Credit: Scott Gries/Bravo via Getty Images

Teresa Giudice is the “OG” of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Unlike other franchises, RHONJ has always been centered around family. Whether or not you love her, Teresa has been the series’ foundation.

During Season 3, Teresa’s sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, joined the show. Teresa was furious, and this led to constant feuding between Teresa and her only sibling, Joe Gorga. And Teresa went through a lot during 14 seasons. RHONJ viewers saw Teresa return from prison. She torched friendships and divorced Joe Giudice. Then she fell in love and married Luis Ruelas, with the blessing of her four beloved daughters.

If you want to take a deep dive into Teresa’s history, here are Teresa’s best RHONJ episodes. Enjoy!

Season 1, Episode 6: Finale

Teresa hosted the cast, and their families, at a restaurant during the first season finale. The cast was buzzing about the scandalous past of Danielle Staub, and the book written about her. Danielle insisted that only two things in the book were factual. She was arrested and she changed her name. Danielle told Teresa, “Pay attention, puh-lease!”

Well, Teresa didn’t like Danielle’s tone. She called Danielle a “prostitution whore.” She exclaimed, “You were engaged 19 times!” Then the table flip that will live in infamy went down. It was the first time fans saw Teresa’s temper flare, but it wasn’t the last. And that is why RHONJ can’t have nice things.

Season 2, Episode 6: Country Clubbed

The cast was dressed up at the Posche Fashion Show, and looking fabulous. Teresa decided to speak to Danielle. Both Teresa and Jacqueline Laurita were seated when the conversation began. Danielle objected when Teresa called her, “Honey.” Teresa fired back, “Is bitch better?” The guests should have evacuated at that point.

Danielle and Teresa traded insults back and forth. But when Danielle claimed that Teresa’s house was in foreclosure, Teresa lost it. She stood up, as people tried to separate the two angry women. The result was a dizzying scene of Teresa chasing Danielle through the crowded venue.

Season 7, Episode 1: Jingle Bells and Prison Cells

Teresa’s return from prison in 2015 was one of her most emotional episodes. People reported that she spent nearly a year in prison after she and her husband, Joe Giudice, pled guilty to fraud charges. Teresa reported to prison first, with Joe set to serve his sentence after her return.

Teresa’s daughters had decorated the house with homemade signs and banners to welcome her home. When Teresa stepped into her house, she covered her face and started to cry. After a long embrace from her husband, she was hugged by her excited daughters. I admit I shed a tear during this episode.

Season 8, Episode 1: Shady Beach

This episode was memorable because it showed a sisterly, playful dynamic between Teresa and Melissa. During a getaway to Florida, Siggy Flicker purchased a gorgeous, personalized cake for Melissa’s birthday. At the table, Teresa gave a nice toast to Melissa.

After the cake was cut, Teresa threw a piece at Melissa. Melissa retaliated, and Teresa threw the entire cake at her as she ran away. Siggy was horrified and hurt. Meanwhile, Teresa and Melissa were having a blast. It didn’t happen often, so that is why this episode takes the cake. Literally.

Season 11, Episode 8: Memorial Mayhem

Teresa and Joe Gorga were heartbroken when their father, Giacinto “Nonno” Gorga, passed away. During this episode, Melissa hosted a lovely memorial for Nonno at her Jersey Shore house. Her deck overlooking the ocean was decorated with flowers, candles, and family photos of Nonno.

There was also a stunning white floral wall with family photos. All the guests wore white. And Teresa’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, gave a heartfelt speech. Then the group released white flower petals into the ocean. It was a moving and beautiful moment.

Season 10, Episode 16: Family Reunion

This episode was unforgettable for two reasons. First, Danielle told Melissa that Teresa urged her to pull Margaret Josephs’ hair. Everyone was stunned. Teresa threw her cup, giving Dolores Catania an unsolicited shower. Then she knocked more cups over and flipped off the cameras.

Then Teresa and her daughters headed to Italy to reunite with Joe Giudice. He can’t return to the United States because he was deported after his prison sentence ended. Joe’s reunion with his daughters was sweet, but it was AWKWARD between Teresa and Joe. When he said he didn’t know where he was sleeping, it was cringey. Finally, they decided to end their marriage.

Teresa Gets Married Spinoff

A post shared by TERESA GIUDICE ® (@teresagiudice)

In August 2022, Teresa wed Luis. The Gorgas were no-shows, but the couple didn’t let that dampen their day. Their wedding was extravagant and over-the-top. And it earned its own Bravo special!

According to People, there were 220 guests at the black-tie affair. Teresa wore a long, mermaid gown with white lace gloves. But the real showstopper was her hair. Teresa’s extensions stretched towards the heavens and were topped with a crown of diamonds that held her veil. Their wedding looked fun and romantic.

Season 13 Reunion, Part 3

This reunion spelled the end of Teresa’s relationship with Melissa and her brother, Joe. After feuding off and on for years, the Gorgas skipped Teresa’s nuptials. They claimed that Teresa and Luis spread a false cheating rumor about Melissa.

At the reunion, Joe alleged that Gia called him and told him that he should ditch Melissa and upgrade. Teresa called Gia, and she denied it.

“This is disgraceful. This is absolutely disgraceful. Disgusting,” Teresa said as she stormed off. After saying that she would never raise her kids that way, she exclaimed, “Mommy and Daddy. You should be ashamed of yourselves!” That was a gut punch.

This reunion severed the ties between Teresa and her brother, with no hope of reconciliation. It was difficult to watch the level of anger displayed on both sides.

I hope that you check out Teresa Giudice’s best RHONJ episodes. They show the full range of Teresa’s personality, from funny and sweet to table-flipping fury.

Did 90 Day Fiancé’s Jasmine Pineda Move on From Gino Palazzolo With a New Man in America?

Photo Credit: TLC via YouTube

Gino Palazzolo and Jasmine Pineda have had a tumultuous journey on 90 Day Fiancé. The couple was first introduced on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days. Gino flew to Panama to meet Jasmine for the first time, and the two hit it off. Despite a few ups and downs, Gino proposed to Jasmine, and they got engaged.

Jasmine later moved to the US with Gino during 90 Day Fiancé Season 10. It was a tough move for the Panamanian native, who quickly became homesick and missed her kids. Nonetheless, at the end of the 90 days, Gino and Jasmine tied the knot.

Gino and Jasmine are currently appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8, where they are dealing with the same issues. Jasmine is furious with Gino for not properly adding her kids to the immigration paperwork, among other reasons. After all of this chaos, it’s no surprise that Gino and Jasmine are rumored to have split. But the real question is whether or not Jasmine has moved on with another man.

Why did Gino and Jasmine’s relationship go south?

TLC via YouTube

Gino and Jasmine have faced issues in their relationship from the jump. During Gino’s first trip to Panama, Jasmine found out that he had shared naked photos of her with his ex. This infuriated Jasmine, who almost broke off the relationship. After a few more trips to Panama, Gino became frustrated when he learned Jasmine had moved into the same building as her ex.

After Jasmine arrived in America, things only got worse. Jasmine struggled to adapt to life in America, specifically with having to rely on Gino for everything. For instance, Gino complained about having to drive Jasmine around every day, which she didn’t feel was a big deal. Gino and Jasmine have also fought over finances, which Jasmine feels Gino has been frugal with.

Another big issue in Gino and Jasmine’s relationship has been children. Jasmine is eager to bring her two sons to America, but Gino forgot to add them to Jasmine’s paperwork. As a result, it could be two years before they can come to the US. Gino also wants a child of his own, but Jasmine has been reluctant to have one with him.

What clues point to Gino and Jasmine’s split?

Photo Credit: TLC via YouTube

Several clues point to Gino and Jasmine no longer being together. One of the biggest indicators of this is Jasmine’s Instagram, which no longer has any pictures of Gino. While Gino still has pictures of him and Jasmine up on his page, he no longer follows her. It appears Jasmine may have blocked Gino, as she no longer follows him either.

Furthermore, Gino and Jasmine were reportedly seen filming for 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 2. This spin-off follows couples as they try to fix their relationships through couples therapy. It’s no surprise that Gino and Jasmine would be chosen for this, as their relationship has always been rocky.

Does Jasmine have a new boyfriend in America?

Jasmine reportedly has a new boyfriend following her split from Gino, which raises a lot of questions. According to recent rumors, Jasmine met her new boyfriend while working at a local gym. Allegedly, Jasmine cheated on Gino with this new man, who in turn kicked her out for doing so.

It seems like Jasmine has been hinting at her new boyfriend on social media. Eagle-eyed fans have noticed a mystery man in several videos Jasmine has shared online. While he does not show his face, his voice has been heard in the background. The man is not Gino, which makes viewers think that he and Jasmine are now done for good.

Since Happily Ever After? Season 8 is still airing, it’s possible Jasmine doesn’t want to break her NDA by exposing her new man. Furthermore, if Gino and Jasmine are on The Last Resort Season 2, it may be even longer until she can reveal him. Of course, these rumors are only rumors and a lot about the situation is still unclear. While it seems pretty certain that Jasmine has moved on from Gino with someone else, nothing can be confirmed until she addresses it.

Where Do Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi Stand Since Happily Ever After? Season 8

Photo Credit: TLC via YouTube

Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi are one of the most infamous couples from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. The couple’s journey began on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days, when they met for the first time. After getting engaged in Michael’s home country of Nigeria, Angela applied for a K1 visa. However, this was later denied when the couple returned for 90 Day Fiancé Season 8.

After their K1 visa application was denied, Angela and Michael decided to marry in Nigeria instead. This allowed the couple to apply for a spousal visa, giving Michael another shot at coming to America. Angela and Michael are currently appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8, where they are awaiting word on the spousal visa.

Despite still waiting to hear about the visa on the show, it seems like Michael ultimately made it to the US. He has been pictured in America with Angela, as well as on his own. Michael’s recent whereabouts, however, have raised questions about his relationship status with Angela. It seems like Angela and Michael are currently broken up, although this has not been officially confirmed.

Angela announced that Michael was missing in February

Fans first realized something was going on between Michael and Angela when he went missing in February. Angela circulated the news on social media and even offered a reward for his safe return. This alarmed viewers, as they were concerned for Michael’s safety after arriving in a new country. Michael had not been in America for long, which made the situation even scarier.

Michael later resurfaced and claimed that he feared for his life in Georgia. Many fans speculated that this meant Michael was afraid of Angela, although it was not clear at the time. Since he went missing, Michael has not been pictured with Angela. This suggests that the couple may have split for good, or it could just be one of several break-ups they have had.

Michael is allegedly living in Indiana

A post shared by Michael Ilesanmi (@mykol_01)

Michael recently launched a new Instagram account, where he has posted several pictures from America. While he has only put his location on his posts as “SOME WHERE”, Michael has recently been spotted in Indiana by fans. Michael was seen partying with several women, with Angela nowhere to be seen.

Furthermore, Michael has captioned many of his posts with quotes that also suggest he and Angela have broken up. Michael’s first post is captioned “Peace is more than the absence of war”, which raises some questions. This suggests that Michael has finally found peace, supposedly away from Angela.

Michael’s new Instagram account strongly suggests that he and Angela may have gone their separate ways for good. Angela was always unhappy about Michael being on social media, so his being back on it could be a sign.

Angela has hinted at leaving the franchise after this season

Photo Credit: TLC via YouTube

Angela has recently claimed that Season 8 may be her last, which further hints at her and Michael’s split. After appearing in eight seasons, it seems this may be the last we see of Angela and Michael. On Happily Ever After? In Season 8, Angela and Michael were the last couple introduced and their story has been limited. This suggests that they didn’t film much content, and a potential break-up could be to blame.

Another possibility is that Angela doesn’t have a future storyline without Michael involved. After seven years of a long-distance relationship, Angela is probably exhausted. Recently, many viewers have also been fed up with Angela, after she displayed violent behavior onscreen. Overall, it is probably for the best that Angela leaves the franchise, as she has done her time.

While nothing is confirmed, it seems pretty certain that Angela and Michael are no longer together. Angela is still in Georgia, while Michael appears to be living in Indiana currently. Viewers will have to wait until the Season 8 Tell All to learn more, but it would be a shock if Angela is still with Michael. When it comes to Angela and Michael, however, you never know what to expect. It is possible they may still be together, but want to put on an act.
