Bravo Dolores Catania.
As “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania once said, “Look loyalty up in the dictionary and you’ll find my face.”
During a January 27 interview with Us Weekly, Catania gave an update on where she currently stands with her ex-boyfriend, David Principe. The two broke up during filming for season 12 of “The Real Housewies of New Jersey.”
“We haven’t really spoken,” Catania admitted. “I know what I signed up for and when something in your life changes, it’s only fair to everyone to share it with them, you know? And I’ve always been very honest with everything — from plastic surgery to my relationship with [my ex-husband] Frank and my relationship with the girls.”
Catania also added during the interview about the relationship, “[It was] time to move on and it was not for any reason. I’m sure he has nothing bad to say about me. I have nothing bad to say about him, but it was just time.”
Viewers can catch the season 12 premiere of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” on Tuesday, February 1 at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Bravo.
Catania Has Already Moved On

Murro also added at the time, “I couldn’t be happier for her. She deserves the best.”

We’re gonna give you a little of that, too!”
Jackie Goldschneider also seemed to agree with Gorga about the new season. “It’s so good! And I’m not just saying that because it’s our show. It’s really good.
