How to watch the ‘RHONJ’ Season 13 premiere
Dolores Catania says she was close to getting into a physical altercation with Jennifer Aydin during their heated fight on the Season 13 premiere of “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
However, the reality star, 52, explained Friday during a live taping of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast how her boyfriend, Paul “Paulie” Connell, helped her remain calm.
“In that scene, [Connell] stands behind me and he puts his hand down my back, and I wanted to throw things, I wanted to run out the door after her and I wanted to get ahold of her,” Catania told hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real.
She added, “It might have saved Jennifer’s life this season that I had somebody.”
Connell agreed, “I think I actually did save Jennifer’s life.”
Catania began dating Connell in late 2011, and she previously gushed to us about her Irish beau, “He’s a voice of reason, he’s very logical, he makes a lot of sense. He puts a lot of wit into it. He’s very, very funny and he’s very smart.”
Catania was previously married to Frank Catania, with whom she shares a son, Frankie Catania, 24, and daughter, Gabrielle Catania, 27.
She then dated her longtime boyfriend Dr. David Principe, and the ups and downs of their relationship were featured on “RHONJ.” They ultimately split in the summer of 2021.
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast are released Thursdays.
