Margaret Josephs

Margaret Josephs graduated from FIT in New York with a degree in fashion design, which led her to launching her own lifestyle brand Macbeth Collection in 1999. The brand sells tech, clothing and fashion accessories. Josephs released a memoir Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget: How to Survive in Business and Life in 2021 where she details her rise to success, personal struggles and lessons she learned along the way.

In 2017, Josephs joined the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey for season 8. She quickly made an impression with her unfiltered honesty. Throughout the years, Josephs has tried to use her platform to advocate for women’s empowerment and financial independence.

Margaret married Jan Josephs in 1994. While Jan already had three children from a previous marriage, the duo also welcomed son Spencer together. Margaret and Jan divorced in 2013 before Margaret tied the knot with Joe Benigno later that year. During season 14 of RHONJ, Margaret learned that Benigno had prostate cancer. She later shared he was not doing treatment and instead the doctors were just doing “active surveillance” to make sure the tumor isn’t growing.
