Even though the new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is just getting started, it looks like there’s a lot of drama ahead, especially between famed couple Melissa and Joe Gorga.

In the Season 11 trailer posted by Bravo, it seems like the two are going through some seriously tough times in their relationship. In one scene, Teresa Giudice even accuses Melissa Gorga of cheating on her husband. “Last night, the owner of the restaurant asked Melissa for her number,” Giudice says during the trailer. “They’ve been texting all day.” The camera then cuts to a shot of Gorga typing away on her phone.

Later on in the trailer, the couple gets into a fight. “Be careful what you say, because I’ll never talk to you again,” Joe Gorga says to his wife.

So, what’s going on in Gorga’s relationship? Did Melissa cheat on Joe Gorga?

Although it’s unclear if Gorga did cheat on her husband, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star did recently address the rumors during an interview with E!

Boom, it’s like right there,” Gorga explained to the outlet. “So it definitely sets the tone for the season. Listen, it’s real, there’s accusations going on. Obviously Joe and I are bumping heads a lot this season. It’s been rough. It’s been a little rough.”

Gorga continued, “I would say too with Joe and I it’s like we’ve been on reality TV for 11 years. I would say we’re doing a pretty damn good job. I mean we’ve been holding down the fort. We’re doing a good job and the last couple years have been a little tricky for us and we’re real about it. Even if we didn’t want to be real about it it’s just so obvious, there’s no denying it. You could read the room and feel the tension and we’ve been going through it a little bit.”
