The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania and Frank Catania were married?

Previously, Frank Catania Sr. had married Dolores Catania on September 16, 1994, and the couple separated in 1998. They had two children, Gabrielle "Gaby" and Frank "Frankie" III.

Back when Dolores filed for divorce, she explained that she had ended her marriage with Frank Catania because he cheated on her.

During an interview with HuffPost in 2016, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores shared the following:

"We had a very difficult time years ago, and I had a lot of pain and anger to deal with. I mean, he cheated (he isn't with that woman now, thank God) and ended up leaving us right before I was supposed to give birth. It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, but we were able to work it out. It certainly wasn't always easy or anything like it looks now."

Dolores Catania has been a part of RHONJ since 2016. The former couple has shared their full journey and their circumstances with the show’s fans.

Besides this, Dolores is currently dating entrepreneur Paul "Paulie" Connell. For those rooting for Dolores and Paul, she has shared her thoughts on marriage back in 2022:

“I don’t know. I feel like I’m the type of person that I don’t think about things. I don’t get nervous about things. I don’t manifest things. I just let life unfold and things happen. And I deal with it when it happens, ’cause I like surprises. And also, I don’t like disappointment. So by me expecting things or whatever...I spend time with a man because my time is very important.”
