Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is officially a go, and will feature the return of longtime cast members Dolores Catania, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Gorga.
Additional cast members will be announced at a later date, and production is set to begin this spring.Â
The show news, announced on March 24, comes after RHONJ Season 14 concluded in August 2024.Â
What Dolores Catania has been up to since RHONJ Season 14
As RHONJ fans await Season 15, they can catch Dolores in a friend role on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island Season 1, which premieres on Thursday, April 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT and streams the next day on Peacock. Speaking about her stint on RHORI, Dolores recently told The Daily Dish, “The Rhode Island ladies are so amazing. They remind me of New Jersey when we first started, just the way that they are.”
What’s more, “Paul and I fell in love again in Rhode Island,” she said of her now-fiancé Paulie Connell. “It was so beautiful. Spending the summer there, I think, made us even get closer.”
Dolores and her longtime boyfriend got engaged at a New Jersey Apple Store in November 2025. She told The Daily Dish that they have not yet set a wedding date, but the same can’t be said for her son Frankie Catania, whom she shares with her ex-husband Frank Catania. Frankie popped the question in February 2025, and will be getting married to his fianceé Nichole Perricho in two different wedding ceremonies. Dolores’ daughter Gabby Catania is also set to walk down the aisle, as she got engaged to her boyfriend Mike on a snowboarding trip in March.

Updates on Teresa Giudice’s life ahead of her RHONJ return
Teresa revealed at BravoCon 2025 in November that she and Melissa, as well as Joe Gorga, had reunited after years of feuding. “I want him in my life, I want his wife in my life, my sister-in-law, my niece, my nephews in my life,” she said at the time. “Like, that’s the most important thing. Like, I want the kids to hang out. Because when it’s toxic between the parents, the kids don’t want to hang out.”
In addition to reuniting with Melissa, Teresa has been busy raising her four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana Giudice. Additionally, she has been sharing glimpses of her loving marriage to her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas.

What’s more, in January, Gia announced that she and Teresa were opening up their first restaurant, Il Vero (which is Italian for “the truth” or “the real thing) in Westwood, New Jersey later this year. “This venture means everything to me,” Gia wrote in the caption of a Jan. 15 Instagram post. “Not just as a business, but as a way to continue and honor my mom’s legacy of cooking, family, and bringing people together around the table.”
Details on the latest in Melissa Gorga’s life after RHONJ Season 14
Melissa has also been open about her and Teresa’s reconciliation. After their families spent Christmas Eve together — and Teresa even tried Melissa’s sprinkle cookies for the first time — Melissa said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, “Christmas Eve was really for us to reconnect the kids. They connected instantly. They’re cousins. There’s true love there.”
She also expressed her eagerness to make things work between her and Teresa. “I think it needs to last,” she said. “And if it doesn’t, then shame on all of us if we can’t pull this through. Life’s too short.”

Meanwhile, Melissa and Joe’s three children — Antonia, Gino, and Joey Gorga, have been keeping them so busy. Antonia is currently a junior in college, Gino is about to graduate high school, and Joey has been living his best life.
Melissa has also been occupying her time with her businesses. She currently is owning and operating two different locations of her boutique, Envy by MG, and recently celebrated her one year anniversary of her sprinkle cookie business, Let’s Sprinkle by MG. “I knew it was going to take off, especially with the marketing I did for it, and, you know, launching it during Christmastime,” Melissa explained to The Daily Dish in 2025. “I knew it was gonna be a thing, right? And obviously, it went viral on TikTok and the whole thing…I can’t believe it, and we’re growing.”
