Juliette Collazo is joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 15 with a built-in friend: her sister, Xio Cammarota.
The sisters are among the new faces mixing with Garden State veterans Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania when RHONJ Season 15 premieres.
Ahead of the new season, learn more about Juliette and her career, husband, kids, and more.
Who is Juliette Collazo?
Juliette owns New Jersey’s AMA Artist Makeup Academy and is trying to balance her demanding career with her husband and children on RHONJ Season 15.
What does Juliette Collazo do for a living?
Juliette is the CEO and founder of AMA Artist Makeup Academy. Although the academy trains people to become professional makeup artists, Juliette explained to Bravo Insider that anyone can join and learn just for fun.
“I’m a girl’s girl, and I want everyone to look and learn to look their best,” she said. “So let’s go ahead and train everyone. Everyone should look their best, and walk the streets of New Jersey looking their best, and I hope that AMA is that vehicle for people.”
Juliette added that when it comes to her career, “I’m always working toward something. That’s probably my bad habit is that there’s always something. I’m never, you know, complacent with anything. I struggle.”

Who is Juliette Collazo married to?
Juliette is married to her husband, Juan.
When it comes to their home life, she told Bravo Insider that they “run an insanely strict household.”
“I love to work out,” Juliette said, revealing that she wakes up at 4:30 a.m. to do so. “My structure in life, at home — I have OCD. My husband’s the same way.”
Does Juliette Collazo have kids?
Juliette and her husband Juan have two children together, 8-year-old Carter and 7-year-old Camila, as well as Juliette’s stepson. She shared with Bravo Insider that her children were born 15 months apart.
“Everyone thought I was crazy when I decided to have my kids back to back. And yes, in fact, I am crazy,” she said. “So that’s exactly why I did it one and done, get them back-to-back, done with.”
Juliette added that her household is “not your average household.”
“I have two kids and eight chickens, okay? So, it’s like I have ten kids basically in my household,” she explained. “My chickens are our lives — everything, like fresh eggs every day, all day. And all I know how to cook is eggs. That’s a fun fact about me: I don’t cook anything else other than hardboiled eggs and scrambled eggs.”
“That’s all you get when you come to the Collazo household,” Juliette joked. “And champagne, in an iced flute.”

Who is Juliette Collazo’s sister Xio Cammarota?
Juliette’s sister and RHONJ castmate Xio is the owner of a marketing firm in addition to being a wife and mother.
“Doing this with my sister was a dream come true, because I actually can’t imagine ever doing life without my sister,” Juliette said of filming the show. “So, although that was some of our, you know, struggles, I just wouldn’t want it any other way. I don’t think I would have ever done this without my sister, if I’m being really honest, you know?”
She added that while they’re sisters, she and Xio couldn’t be more different. “We’re complete opposites,” she said. “I think the only thing that we have alike is that we really came out of like the same vajeen — my mother’s. Everything else is really opposite, except for that we cry all the time. And we both like to dance.”
How is Juliette Collazo connected to the RHONJ Season 15 cast?
Besides her connection to her sister Xio, Juliette shared she’d known Teresa and Melissa for a decade prior to filming RHONJ Season 15. “I have done Melissa’s makeup for ten years. The memory just populated on my phone saying ten years from her first glam,” Juliette told Bravo Insider. “So I did know them, but again, in social circles. And the one I’m closest to today is Dolores.”
