In an exclusive chat with AllAboutTRH, Paulie Connell responds to Margaret Josephs‘ recent dig at his relationship with Dolores Catania.
On this week’s episode of RHONJ, fans saw Paulie tell Frank Catania that he plans to ask Dolores to marry him and already has a ring ready to go for when the time comes.
This announcement then turned into a hot topic of discussion on the RHONJ: After Show, where the cast talked about Paulie and Dolores‘ relationship.
During the After Show, Margaret claimed that Paulie is still married to his ex-wife, so he and Dolores can’t get married.
Margaret said:
“As far as I know, Paul’s not divorced. I guess it’s hard to get married if you’re not divorced. You could give rings. I guess that’s why you can’t get married if you’re not divorced.”
Naturally, AllAboutTRH reached out to Paulie Connell directly for clarification on Margaret’s claim.
Paulie Connell confirmed to AllAboutTRH exclusively that he is “not divorced yet.
The Ireland native told AllAboutTRH in a statement:
“I am not divorced *yet* but obviously, I [have been] separated for many years. A document to finalize the past or set the present is not preventing myself and Dolores from planning our future together in any way or form.”
To be clear, Paulie and his ex-wife have been separated for over a decade. They share two sons together.
Meanwhile, Dolores made it clear on the After Show that she doesn’t need to be married or be Mrs. Paulie Connell to feel committed in her relationship.
“I don’t have to do things like that,” Dolores said on the RHONJ: After Show of both her kids needing to be “married to live together” with their partners.
“You don’t have to get married. Whatever you guys want. You speed at your own drum,” Teresa Giudice said in agreement.
