It’s summertime, and The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Melissa Gorga is making the most of every moment.
The Garden State mom gave peak-season energy for the unofficial start of summer over Memorial Day weekend, and the fun times keep coming, as seen in a handful of cheerful and sunny pics with husband, Joe Gorga, and their three children.
From summer holidays on the Jersey Shore to crashing the boys’ baseball nights, Melissa certainly knows how to put it all “on display” while giving the latest on her busy life with her family by her side.
Inside Melissa and Joe Gorga’s life as parents to their 3 kids
Things were “Easy Like Sunday Morning” one day before the Monday holiday when Melissa and the crew — including Antonia Gorga, 19, Gino Gorga, 17, and Joey Gorga Jr., 14 — headed to her Jersey Shore home. The May 2025 video showed the family lounging near the pool and dock while Joe prepared Taylor Ham (a New Jersey delicacy) and bacon on the grill.
“Oh, how things change,” Melissa began with a teary-eyed emoji. “Where are the swimmies and the big bows in the hair? They have officially taken over Missy G’s!!”
Still, the Housewife said she “wouldn’t change it for anything.” “Love being able to talk to them about their lives AND I love that all three of them have their friends here and they all hang out together,” the boutique owner continued. “For all those with little ones, look forward to this stage, too, because it’s a great one also!”
But there has been plenty more family time since then. In fact, on Thursday, July 24, Melissa and Joe enjoyed a “casual dinner” with the kids. “My fav summer nights,” she wrote.

Not one to rest on her laurels, Melissa and the bunch have kept busy ever since. Take, for example, when Melissa and her girl squad crashed the bus when Joe and the guys headed to see the New York Yankees.
“Blessed them with our presence,” Melissa captioned as she joyfully danced. Joe didn’t seem to mind, because Melissa looked “so hot in a Yankee hat,” he posted.
Married since 2004, Joe and Melissa are stronger than ever as the summer season continues. Both wound up in the Hamptons earlier this month, staying at Melissa’s “fav spot,” the Journey East Hampton boutique hotel. “Sometimes you just need to get away and date for the whole weekend,” she captioned with a red heart, featuring photos of the pair in wicker chairs outside.
Joe Gorga echoed his wife’s sentiment in the comment section, writing “Better together,” while The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Heather Dubrow called them “the cutest couple.”
Melissa Gorga gives updates on her career today
As the summer continues, the busy mama recently announced her plans to step away from her podcast, On Display with Melissa Gorga, after four years. “After much reflection, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from the podcast,” she said. “I’ve recently embarked on an exciting new venture with [Let’s Sprinkle with MG], and it’s demanding my full attention, amongst the other things that are coming.”
The cookies-and-cake company’s Instagram page teased on June 19 that the sweet new business was “just getting started.”
Running two Envy boutiques, plus the brand’s online store, only added to Melissa’s full plate. “I believe that focusing on this new path will allow me to grow and innovate in ways I’ve always dreamed of,” she said when announcing the end of her podcast.
