RHONJ Season 15 Greenlit: 3 Returning Cast Members Revealed

Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is official, and fans can look forward to seeing familiar faces returning to the show. Longtime cast members Dolores Catania, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Gorga are set to make a comeback, with additional cast members to be announced later. Production for the new season is scheduled to kick off this spring, following the conclusion of Season 14 back in August 2024.

As we eagerly anticipate the new season, Dolores Catania has been keeping busy. Fans can catch her in a friend role on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island Season 1, which premieres on Thursday, April 2 and streams on Peacock the next day. Dolores shared that the Rhode Island ladies remind her of New Jersey’s early days, and she also revealed that she and her fiancé Paulie Connell fell in love all over again while spending the summer in Rhode Island. They recently got engaged, but the couple has not set a wedding date yet.

In another exciting development, Dolores’ son Frankie Catania got engaged in February 2025, and he and his fiancée Nichole Perricho will be tying the knot in two separate wedding ceremonies. And it doesn’t stop there – Dolores’ daughter Gabby Catania is also engaged and is set to marry her boyfriend Mike after getting engaged on a snowboarding trip in March.

Teresa Giudice, another familiar face returning for Season 15, has also been making waves in her personal life. Teresa announced at BravoCon 2025 that she, Melissa, and Joe Gorga had reconciled after years of feuding. She emphasized the importance of having family come together and shared glimpses of her happy marriage to her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas.

Furthermore, Teresa and her daughter Gia are venturing into a new project – opening their first restaurant, Il Vero (Italian for “the truth” or “the real thing”), in Westwood, New Jersey later this year. Gia expressed how much this venture means to her as a way to honor her mom’s legacy of cooking and bringing people together.

Meanwhile, Melissa Gorga has been open about her reconciliation with Teresa and shared that their families spent Christmas Eve together, signaling a renewed bond. Her three children – Antonia, Gino, and Joey Gorga – have been keeping her busy, with Antonia in college, Gino graduating high school soon, and Joey living his best life. Melissa has also been focused on her businesses, running two locations of her boutique, Envy by MG, and celebrating the success of her sprinkle cookie business, Let’s Sprinkle by MG.

With all these exciting developments, fans can look forward to an eventful Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, featuring familiar faces and new adventures. Stay tuned for more updates as production gets underway this spring!
