During RHOC Season 20, Episode 6, the mom of four opened up about the couple’s struggles in the past. “It’s been about four years since Danny’s infidelity. And, admittedly, I do have a wall of resentment,” she explained in a confessional during the episode. “But I do love him, I do want to live life with him, I do need to know how to forgive, and not just for him, but for myself. I just have to figure out how to do it.”
Danny admitted to Carmella during the episode that he wanted to bring back those old feelings they felt when they first started dating. “I just want you back to where you felt like the way you did in the beginning,” Danny told her during the episode. “I understand you can’t get there, but.”
“I’m not getting over it. I made it through it, but I’m not getting over it,” Carmella told him.

When did Carmella Garcia get divorced?
Carmella and Jeff are not “legally divorced” due to their children, even though they are separated. She opened up about their current relationship during RHOC Season 20, Episode 1.Â
“You know, in California, it’s like 50/50 custody, and I would have died,” she explained. “They were three, four, five, and six, and I was unwilling to lose my children for part of that time. I hated his guts, but then at a certain point you self-sacrifice.”
While they are still married, Carmella admitted that Jeff currently lives in a house that they own with his girlfriend. “I like her. She’s nice to my kids,” she noted.
