Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Dolores Catania and her boyfriend, Paulie Connell, spilled the tea regarding the upcoming Real Housewives of Rhode Island spinoff.
Paulie opened the floodgates for fodder:
“And that’s a wrap 🎬 Rhode Island…..” penned Paulie in the caption. “Oh, did we have a blast!”
“So impressed, tbh. You have earned a special place in our hearts 💞.”
“Great people along with great food and so much fun. RI, you are in for a treat, Jersey Style! Stay tuned 🙂↔️😜.”
Dolo entered the chat:
The RHONJ star slid into Paulie’s comments. “Best summer ever. So sad to leave.”
In another comment, she added, “❤️❤️❤️stay tuned.”
What we know about RHORI so far:
BravoTV.com announced the Rhode Island franchise in May.
“Set against the shores of the Ocean State, The Real Housewives franchise expands into the world of a tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations.”
“With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there’s no escaping your past … or each other.”
Dolores’s history with Rhode Island:
She first visited Rhode Island when she was 18. “It was my first time experiencing anything [outside] of New Jersey.” Thankfully she felt an “Italian presence.”
“It was insane.” Dolo recalled there was a “really strong Italian community” in RI. “They paint the streets with the Italian flag there.”
That’s not all the surprised the RHONJ personality. “When I first went there, I thought it was like Martha’s Vineyard. Everybody was very blonde and everybody was [in] their sweaters. Everything was very preppy to me.”
