Danielle Cabral made her big Bravo debut back in Season 13 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Viewers got to know her as the “boujie mama” who loves her glam life, while her husband, Nate Cabral, often popped up as a grounded family man quietly weathering the typical RHONJ chaos.
The couple appeared for two seasons before Bravo hit pause on the show. The network has promised a shake-up for season 15, but it is still anyone’s guess if Danielle and Nate will be part of the new cast.
While their return to reality TV remains uncertain, the Cabrals just shared a family twist that sounds like it’s straight out of a soap opera.
RHONJ star Nate Cabral has a half brother he never knew he had
On September 1, Danielle surprised her followers with a video on Instagram and TikTok. She revealed that Nate had recently discovered he has a half-brother named Jameson. The kicker? They could practically be twins.
The emotional clip showed the men meeting for the very first time at an outdoor party. Both were wearing sunglasses as they hugged for a long moment, then leaned back to take in each other’s faces. Danielle chose the Lumineers’ song “Nobody Knows” to soundtrack the emotional moment.
“Discovering you have a half brother who looks EXACTLY like you,” Danielle captioned the video. “We’re still recovering from the shock! Welcome to the family @jamehart.”
She also added, “Everyone meet Nate’s half brother, Jameson!” The post racked up thousands of likes within hours and quickly drew a flood of comments from Bravo friends.
Several of the RHONJ ladies showed up in the comments. Rachel Fuda wrote, “Omgggg the genes are strong !!!!!!!!! So amazing !!” Dolores Catania echoed the same thought with, “What !!!! Twins.” Margaret Josephs gushed, “Literally twins!!! Thrilled for your family.” Melissa Gorga added, “Omg !! Love this!”
Even Andy Cohen jumped in, writing, “This is amazing!!!!”
Danielle has not yet shared how Nate first found out about Jameson, which left plenty of fans wondering about the backstory. Away from reality TV, Nate has his hands full running his company, Flash Security Integrators.
As Nate welcomes a new sibling into his life, Danielle’s own family drama has been harder to mend. Her strained relationship with her brother played out during Season 13. She later claimed he mocked her on social media, and the two have remained distant ever since. Danielle is also in the rocks with her dad.
“It consumes you when you wish you had a relationship and a life that you once knew,” Danielle admitted in a confessional. Even so, she said she would be open to reconciling if he ever reached out.
Bravo hasn’t revealed which Housewives will be back for Season 15, though test filming has started – without Teresa Giudice. If the Cabrals return, Nate may finally share more details about the brother he never knew existed.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey streams on Peacock. Viewers in the U.K. and Ireland can watch on Hayu.
