Real Housewives of New Jersey fans watched Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga’s kids grow up onscreen. Their eldest daughter, Antonia Gorga, always seemed grounded and avoided the drama. And now, her proud mother is spreading the news that Antonia has a boyfriend. No word on how Joe is coping with this development.
Contrary to popular belief, Joe and Melissa weren’t afraid to put their foot down with their kids. Case in point? When Antonia refused to leave the house and give her brother a ride, Joe took the keys to her car for a week. Oh, the horror!

RHONJ fans know that Melissa was emotional about her daughter attending the University of Delaware. “And to see her go, I was so emotional,” Melissa previously stated. Sending your children off to college is always bittersweet and more than a bit nerve-racking.
Well, Antonia is moving on with her life. “She has a boyfriend now,” Melissa told The Daily Dish. “He goes to her school, but he’s from East Hanover, New Jersey, which is so funny. I’m like, ‘You go to Delaware and you find the Italian Jersey boy.'” The mom of three added, “Like, that’s what you find. So, that’s exciting.”
Meanwhile, Melissa added that Antonia is doing well during her junior year of college. “She comes home a lot, though, which is funny. She misses my food, which I’m shocked,” Melissa shared. “I’m like, what better compliment than when your daughter’s like, ‘Ma, I just want your food.’ Like, ‘Just cook for me.’ So she’s cute,” Melissa added.
The cookie maven continued, “We’re a very close-knit family. We do hang on the couch together a lot. We watch movies together.” She added of her look-alike daughter, “So she needs it for a minute, and then she goes back.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.
