Elsewhere on Day 1 of BravoCon, Joe opened up about reconnecting with his sister on the Jersey Boys panel, as well.
“There are no more teams because it’s been too long, and it’s sad,” he shared. “I want her in my life. I want my nieces in my life. We need to be together. We met, and it was really sentimental, and it was nice.”
Finally, Melissa weighed in during Nov. 16’s Housewife2Housewife: Legacy & Newbies panel on Day 3 of BravoCon weekend.
“When you hit absolute rock bottom [in family situations]… there is a way back eventually,” she explained to the audience,” before addressing the “doubt” and “questions” surrounding the reconciliation.Â
“The relief on my husband’s face when he came home from that conversation is all I needed to see,” she concluded, later adding, “It feels really good.”
