Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita seems to be enjoying life in California. She and her husband, Chris Laurita, and their children relocated to Las Vegas in 2019 before making the move to Orange County. Now, Jacqueline counts some current and former cast members from The Real Housewives of Orange County as friends.
After all, Jacqueline shared with her fans that she underwent a neck lift and a face lift in May 2025. And none other than RHOC alum Lynne Curtin was recovering from a procedure next to Jacqueline. So, could Jacqueline be joining the iconic franchise that started it all?
Could Jacqueline Laurita join The Real Housewives of Orange County?
Reportedly, Bravo asked Jacqueline to join RHOC in a friend of the cast role. However, after Jacqueline moved close to Jennifer Pedranti’s house, the thinking at Bravo supposedly changed. Now, Jacqueline could allegedly be offered her own orange.
After all, Jacqueline’s holiday Instagram post was filled with RHOC royalty, including Gretchen Rossi. The carousel included photos of Jacqueline and Chris on a double date with Gretchen and her fiancé, Slade Smiley. Plus, photos of Jacqueline, Chris, and Gretchen dressed to the nines at a holiday party added some festive sparkle to her post. In addition, the Lauritas also joined Gretchen and Slade, along with Jennifer and her fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, in another snap.
“Here’s a little bit of Holiday Blessings with friends. We are loving our friends in Orange County,” Jacqueline captioned the post. “Always a good time. Grateful to have met every one of them. Happy Holidays!”
While we still don’t know if Jacqueline is interested in taking a role in RHOC, the couple could probably use the paycheck. Jacqueline and Chris owe a default judgment of $760,000 following a bankruptcy case involving Chris’ clothing company, Signature Apparel Group. The duo failed to respond to a lawsuit filed by their former lawyers who handled the bankruptcy case.
Both The Real Housewives of Orange County and The Real Housewives of New Jersey are streaming on Peacock.
