While we restlessly await any hints at a premiere date, Parade caught up with a few of the RHONJ stars at BravoCon 2022 in New York City—and you can bet that we inquired about what Season 13 has in store. After speaking with Dolores Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Teresa Giudice’s daughter Gia, Joe and Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs and Joe Benigno, Parade reporters are pretty sure that this upcoming season of RHONJ could be the fieriest one yet. We asked all the stars for one thing they could tell us about the upcoming season, and their responses were nothing short of a tease—except for maybe Joe Benigno’s (A.K.A. Joe B.); who was very straightforward about the fact that the construction on he and Marge’s house “will never be finished,” because according to him, someone is very picky. Josephs, however, denied these claims and told Parade that “he [Joe] likes to blame everything on me,” she continued, “the downstairs is done, and we’re putting a pool in, so it’ll be ready for next year.” So, if everything goes as planned, the ladies may have another serene spot to lounge by in the summer sun for the season after next! Speaking of new, Catania couldn’t wait to tell us all about the cast additions coming to Season 13, “there’s some new faces and new dynamics thrown into the mix,” she told Parade exclusively. Catania continued: “And when you throw ingredients into a pot, and you don’t measure it, you don’t know what it’s going to taste like until it’s done, so to speak, and it could go either way.” Aydin also hinted at the new adventures and fun that await viewers in future episodes. While she didn’t want to give it all away, the reality TV star did tell us about her favorite part of filming the upcoming season. “My favorite part was our trip to Ireland,” Aydin revealed, “And I think a lot of people know we went to Ireland for our cast trip; it was great–it was things I would have never experienced in my life if it wasn’t for this show.” The group stayed in a very spooky castle built sometime in the mid-1600s, “there was a lot of energy in that house if you know what I mean,” Aydin teased. Melissa was a little less excited about her expectations for the upcoming season, telling reporters that it’s “crazy” and fans are not only in for some surprises but some hurt feelings, too–calling the season “sad.” During one of BravoCon’s panels, “Jersey Ladies and Their Men,” the mother of three offered a more in-depth explanation of her comments. “You’re gonna feel all types of emotions because there’s a lot that goes on,” she admitted. “It’s very real, it’s very raw. It’s sometimes hard to watch this season. But it’s our life, right? And I think that for me personally, it’s a season that’s very real, very honest.” Joe Gorga didn’t want to be held accountable for spilling any of the embargoed details, so he opted to tell us that just like every other season, co-stars Joe B. and Frank Catania are still the most fun to film with. Gia told us that “there’s going to be a lot of truth” in Season 13; what that means exactly, well, she couldn’t elaborate, so we’ll have to wait and see. As of writing, the network has yet to confirm a release date for Season 13. But, given the timing of previous seasons, fans can expect to tune into the new season sometime in early 2023. Seasons 1 through 12 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are currently streaming on Peacock and the Bravo app. More News:
