The drama between Paulie Connell and Dolores Catania has taken the Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) fanbase by storm. After Dolores publicly accused Paulie of betraying her, the state of their relationship became a hot topic of discussion. Recently, Paulie Connell has spoken out to clarify the situation and revealed the divorce date that he and Dolores have agreed upon.
In an official statement, Paulie firmly denied the accusations made by Dolores, saying, "I have always tried to be a good and honest man. What Dolores has said is not true, and I want to clear up any misunderstandings so that baseless rumors don't affect either of us." Paulie also disclosed that his relationship with Dolores had faced ongoing tensions, and despite their efforts to reconcile, they ultimately couldn’t find common ground.
Paulie continued, explaining that despite everything not going as planned, he and Dolores had come to the final decision: divorce. "We sat down and made this decision calmly because we both feel it's the best for both of us. Divorce isn’t easy, but sometimes it's the only choice when two people can’t continue together," Paulie shared with regret.
In his interview, Paulie also emphasized that despite the end of their relationship, he and Dolores would continue to respect one another and maintain a healthy relationship for the sake of her children. "We both care deeply for each other and want what's best for the family. Even though we’re no longer husband and wife, I hope we can still support and care for the kids together."
In response, Dolores Catania shared a post on Instagram, acknowledging that while things hadn’t gone as she had hoped, she was thankful for the good moments they shared. She wrote, "Not everything is easy, but I believe this decision will open a new chapter in our lives. Thank you, Paulie, for all the memories."
The exact date of their divorce has been set, but both parties have kept the details private for now. However, this development has left RHONJ fans feeling disappointed, as many had hoped for a happy ending for the couple.
Will this be the end of Paulie and Dolores' relationship, or just another turning point in their long journey ahead? One thing is certain – this story will continue to capture the attention of fans in the coming months.
