Joe Gorga’s Family Dynamics: Unveiling the Truth Behind Melissa’s Journey

Ten years after joining the Real Housewives of New Jersey Joe Gorga now claims that his wife Melissa Gorga was given a hard time by every member of his family when she fired came onto the scene. According to Joe, his sister Teresa Giudice as well their now deceased parents, Antonia and Giacinto Gorga were “rough” on Melissa. “My mother was rough on her, my dad was rough on her,” Joe said on Friday during a live taping of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast. He then sarcastically added, “and my sister was great!” Naturally, Joe praised Melissa for how she handled the whole ordeal. “She’s a good woman and then she married into an old-school Italian family and she took a beating — she did,” Joe declared. “And that’s why I respect her and love her because you know what, she’s the best,” he noted. Joe and Melissa have been married since 2004 and share three children: Antonia, 17, Gino, 15, and Joey, 12. Meanwhile, Joe and Melissa also revealed the secret to keeping their nineteen year marriage happy and healthy. “I mean, you got to do it,” Joe said, alluding that sex is the secret to his and Melissa’s happy marriage. “Listen, if you don’t do it, you walk around and you become roommates. I don’t want a roommate that costs me a lot of money.” “What happens is when you do it, then you walk downstairs the next day … and you touch each other. But if you don’t, you’re like ‘Hey how you doing? Did you pay that bill?’” Despite the couple’s current spicy sex life, Melissa says they didn’t have sex during the first three months of their romance. “I took her out … I wanted her so bad but I wouldn’t touch her,” her husband explained. “I played with her. I would have her come over and I would give her a little kiss.” He continued, “I wanted to touch her … I wanted to go to second base so bad but then I said ‘go home.’” However, when they finally did the deed it was “fireworks.” As for their biggest turnoffs, Melissa said “chewing with food in his mouth” while Joe said when his wife “says no to sex.” The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST.
