The main cast members of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” are the focus of the show. However, their kids also help make the series more dynamic. One of the most talked-about former RHONJ kids is Caroline Manzo’s daughter, Lauren Manzo. Recently, she shared a video of herself with her EX.
Manzo took to Instagram on October 28 to post an adorable video of herself with her ex-husband, Vito Scalia. She said in the post’s caption, “Coparenting at its finest if you ask me 🙏🏻 @vitoscalia3.”
The video itself includes Manzo, Scalia, and their adorable daughter dancing to Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia.” Their daughter appears to be dressed in a cute Halloween costume as she’s wearing a red dress, a black jacket, and a headpiece.
There were tons of positive comments under the post. One came from Ashley Holmes, who is the daughter of former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Jacqueline Laurita. She said, “I love this so much lol.”
Someone else said, “Markie is so adorable! ❤️❤️❤️❤️” Another person wrote, “This is how you co-parent!! Good job 👏.” Finally, another fan wrote, “Amazing!!! 👏🏼 the world would be a better place if all divorced parents could coparent like this! 🥹”
Manzo and Scalia Divorced in 2023
Manzo and Scalia began dating after having been introduced by one of her brothers. From there, they became engaged in 2013 and married in 2015. They welcomed their daughter, Marchesa “Markie” Anna Scalia, in February 2017.
However, according to PEOPLE, Manzo announced in October 2023 that she and Scalia were divorcing. She said at the time, “By now, you guys have seen the news that has broken. Just want to let you guys know, we’re all good, this has been done for a very long time.”
She continued, “The last part of the process was filing. We were on the same page; this is something that we did together.”
Manzo added, “All that matters to us is that our daughter is happy and healthy. Her privacy is important to us. We haven’t been on TV in seven years, which is why we did not feel the need for some dramatic announcement.”
She went on, “And we continue to move forward with love and respect for each other, and we will always be a family, and that’s it. It’s about our daughter and her privacy because she didn’t ask to be on TV — we did. So, we appreciate you guys.”
She’s a Busy Lady These Days
After appearing on several episodes of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Manzo and her family starred in “Manzo’d With Children” on Bravo. The show ended in 2016, and she has since founded Fullblown salon in Wayne, New Jersey.
She has also focused on her health and has lost a significant amount of weight.
