Dolores Catania and Paulie Connell: The Countdown to Divorce—and Maybe Something More?
So, it looks like love is in the air for Dolores Catania and her beau Paulie Connell—who’s finally about to escape the clutches of his 14-year separation. For those not in the loop, Dolores and Paul, who met on a blind date in 2021, have had a love story that unfolded right before our eyes on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” But hold the phone—fans were left a bit flabbergasted when they learned that Paul was still technically married, despite being separated from his ex for over a decade. Cue the eye rolls and gossip!
In a delightful twist (or perhaps a plot twist fitting for a fruit basket), Paul recently revealed on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” that his divorce is officially wrapping up next week. Finally, we can stop popping that popcorn just to speculate about their relationship status. Jeff Lewis himself couldn’t resist nudging the couple about their future, teasing the idea of an engagement now that Paul’s tying up loose legal ends. While on air, Dolores and Paul seemed refreshingly chill about their love life, reflecting that they don’t believe in rushing things—wisely channeling that age-old wisdom, “Good things come to those who wait.”
In fact, Dolores, ever the candid queen, remarked, “I don’t care what people say, Jeff, to tell you the truth.” Talk about a power couple who knows their vibe! So, it seems they’re enjoying the ride together before deciding if they’ll pop the big question. And with Paul’s divorce on the verge of finalization, it’s natural for fans to wonder if wedding bells are on the horizon for Dolores and Paul. But let’s keep it real: for now, they’re practically basking in a love bubble without the added pressure of marriage.
As fans eagerly keep an eye on “RHONJ” for any updates on this dynamic duo’s love life, we can only hope they stay as happy as they seem—which, let’s face it, is totally what we’re rooting for. They might be stepping into this next chapter slowly, but their connection appears solid, so here’s to their happily ever after!
