Get Hooked On The Successful Ladies Of 'The Real Housewives Of New Jersey'

Jacqueline, Teresa, and Caroline of the new Bravo series The Real Housewives of New Jersey stopped by to talk about growing up in New Jersey, and what they hope to get out of their reality show experiences.

The series follows five of the most affluent Jersey Girls as they live lavish lifestyles and deal with all the drama that money can buy. For the first time in The Real Housewives francise, joining the cast are two sisters, who are married to two brothers — and one sister-in-law. Family remains a priority for each of these women as they juggle their shopping, decorating, and love lives.

Jacqueline Laurita is full-time stay-at-home New Jersey mom. Her husband Chris, brother of Caroline and Dina Manzo, owns several wholesale apparel businesses and the couple has been together for more than 13 years. They have a six-year old son, CJ, and Jacqueline has a teenage daughter, Ashley, from a previous marriage. Laurita enjoys shopping at the latest boutiques, getting her hair done for a night out, cooking, working out, and going to the spa.

Teresa Guidice grew up in Paterson, New Jersey, where she met her husband, Joe, with whom they have been married for eight years. They have three beautiful daughters Gia, Gabriella, and Milania. She manages each of the girls’ busy schedules, shuffling them from dance, gymnastics, acting, voice, and guitar lessons all the while teaching them how to be fabulous. She worked in the fashion industry in New York and hopes to one day return to the fashion world.

Caroline Manzo is a devoted wife and mother of three, who always puts her family first while making time for her career. Married for more than 25 years, her husband Albert runs a very successful catering facility, The Brownstone. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family on the Jersey Shore, where she has been vacationing for years. Often described as a feisty spitfire, Caroline manages to have it all — family, friends and a career.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres tonight at 11 pm on Bravo.
