RHONJ Star Catania Engaged, Nervous About Season 15 Filming

In November 2025, RHONJ star Dolores Catania appeared at BravoCon in Las Vegas, where she discussed her personal and professional life. Catania revealed that she recently got engaged to her boyfriend of 5 years, Paul "Paulie" Connell, just days before the event. She expressed her happiness and excitement, saying she feels "so blessed" and "almost guilty" about being loved so deeply.

Regarding her RHONJ future, Catania admitted she is hesitant to ask executive producer Andy Cohen about when filming for season 15 will begin, as she knows he is tired of being asked. However, she is hopeful it will resume next year, as the current season 14 concluded over a year ago. Catania is eager to return to filming, as she feels fans are "missing out" on important events in her life, including her son's upcoming wedding.

The RHONJ cast was divided during the season 14 reunion, with the women split into two separate rooms due to ongoing tensions, particularly between sisters-in-law Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga. Catania hopes this drama can finally be put to rest, stating, "Whatever it is, let's hope it's the last time they f------ make up. I am so f------ done of it and sick of it. We have other stories to talk about. Put it to bed, everybody."
