Dolores Catania<\/strong><\/a> has no problem including her relationships on The Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/em>, including her boyfriend Paul \u201cPaulie\u201d Connell<\/strong><\/a>. Fans met the Irishman during season 13 and although an engagement has been discussed, there\u2019s one problem: Paulie is married. Dolores\u2019 costar Margaret Josephs<\/strong> revealed that he is not legally divorced from his ex-wife, Joanne Connell<\/strong>, during season 13 and fans have since wanted to learn more about the Rockland County resident.<\/p>\n Paulie\u2019s marriage rendezvous was kept private until Margaret revealed the news during a season 13 RHONJ<\/a> After Show<\/em> episode. The fashion designer spilled the beans after an episode aired where Paulie discussed proposing to Dolores during a meal with her ex-husband, Frank Catania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The hot topic was brought up during the RHONJ<\/em> season 13 reunion and Paulie set the record straight on his relationship with Joanne.<\/p>\n Filmed in April 2023, Paulie confirmed that Margaret\u2019s statement was true and that his divorce<\/a> was \u201cin the works.\u201d While revealing that Dolores is the \u201cfirst woman\u201d he brought around his kids since he and Joanne separated 14 years ago.<\/p>\n Although it\u2019s been over one decade since they split, Joanne officially filed for divorce on February 4, 2020. They were married for more than 16 years, according to The Sun<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very happily separated and very soon to be happily divorced. It\u2019s a very simple understanding. We are not divorced, we are getting divorced,\u201d Paulie told the outlet in May 2023. \u201cWe never had a big misunderstanding to the point where, \u2018I hate you, you hate me.\u2019 It was never like that, never being like that. We\u2019ve just parted ways. We\u2019re still very amicable.\u201d<\/p>\n Paulie and Joanne\u2019s divorce is still ongoing as of publication.<\/p>\n The former couple coparent sons Kameron and Brooklyn.<\/p>\n Paulie often shares photos of his brood along with lessons he has learned throughout fatherhood.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so happy that these boys chose me to be their dad, while I\u2019m not perfect, I will do everything that I can to make sure above and beyond they get a fair chance in life, they give it their best and they never second-guess themselves,\u201d he wrote via Instagram<\/a> in June 2024 alongside photos of his sons and his late father. \u201cSurrounded with love, dedication admiration with consistency is all the tools you need, oh and have a good listening ear. It really doesn\u2019t get much easier than that and I think in life we sometimes make things more complicated. Don\u2019t forget to tell your kids how much you love them and don\u2019t be afraid of affection, Hugs smiles and I love you are the best investment you\u2019ll ever ever make into a young soul.\u201d<\/p>\nWhen Did Paul \u2018Paulie\u2019 Connell and Ex-Wife Joanne Split?<\/h2>\n
