Melissa Gorga is mending another fractured relationship after a surprise reunion with former Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star Jacqueline Laurita.
According to multiple insiders, the two crossed paths this week while filming in Miami for Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip, a special gathering of past and present Housewives celebrating the franchise’s 20th anniversary. Though neither is a leading cast member on the project, both were invited to attend a party where tensions briefly resurfaced.
“At first, it was snarky,” one source said of their initial interaction. Another insider shared that Melissa quickly addressed their long-standing rift. “Melissa confronted her and wanted to know what she had done to her,” the source said. “Jacqueline brought up some of what happened, but honestly, it’s been years since they fought, and there was no point in rehashing everything.”
The same insider added that Meliisa seemed genuinely confused about the fallout. “Melissa truly didn’t seem to know why Jacqueline was upset with her,” they said.
By the end of the night, the mood had shifted. “They made up,” a source confirmed. “They’re not going to ever be best of friends, but they definitely cleared the air and appeared to be having fun together. It was clear they enjoyed seeing each other after so many years apart.”
