Melissa Gorga
As the sister-in-law of Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga joined the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey in its third season.
Gorga attended New Jersey City University where she majored in education and psychology. She then met her husband, Joe Gorga, a real estate developer. The two have three children together: Antonia, Gino, and Joey.
In the early 2010’s, Gorga was a stay-at-home mom with musical aspirations. Her first single, “On Display,” was released August 13, 2011.
In May 2017, the Gorgas opened a restaurant in East Hanover, New Jersey with Teresa Giudice named Gorga’s Homemade Pasta and Pizza. In January 2018, the restaurant closed in search of larger space and new management.
Gorga starred in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, a spin-off featuring various women from The Real Housewives franchise that premiered on Peacock in November 2021.
In December 2021, Gorga launched her own interview and lifestyle podcast with PodcastOne titled “On Display” named after her first single.
