‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ To Return To Bravo With These 3 Veterans

Buckle up, because season 15 of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” is set to begin production in the coming weeks. Bravo announced today, March 24, that three of the show’s marquee players had signed on to return to the small screen for the iteration’s next batch of episodes.

The news about the next season of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” comes shortly after Margaret Josephs, one of the show’s former veterans, announced her departure from the series after seven seasons.

Bravo Announced A Portion Of The ‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ Season 15 Cast … Who Is Returning?

Is “back” better? According to Bravo’s Daily Dish, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania are the three familiar faces returning to “Real Housewives of New Jersey” when the show comes back to the network in the coming months. Production on the upcoming season is scheduled to begin this spring and follows a nearly two-year hiatus after the conclusion of season 14 in August 2024.

Gorga And Giudice Were Feuding For Years On ‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’

Giudice and Gorga’s return to “Real Housewives of New Jersey” may come as a surprise to some members of the Bravoverse, considering the pair had been estranged for years before their reconciliation in November 2025.

In the season 14 premiere, Gorga actually turned down a producer who asked her to speak about the state of her relationship with the New Jersey OG.

“I really don’t want to answer any questions about Teresa this year,” Gorga replied.

Before that, the two reality stars made headlines after a dramatic feud in season 13 resulted in Gorga and her husband, Joe Gorga, skipping Giudice’s fairytale wedding to Luis Ruelas.

Things seemed to have reached the point of no return at the season 13 reunion when Joe Gorga asked Giudice to leave him and his family alone.

“You know what the best thing to do is?” he asked. “Forget about me, I will forget about you. That’s it. Do your thing, leave me alone, leave everybody alone, live your f–king lives.”

Gorga Clapped Back At Giudice After The Latter Predicted She’d Be Fired

At the time, Giudice implied that she was more than happy to be done with the Gorgas, saying, “It’s going to be over after tonight, I can’t wait.”

“Why? Where are you going?” Gorga replied, to which Giudice said, “You’re leaving. She’s gonna be out of my life after tonight.”

In a 2024 interview with PEOPLE, Gorga opened up about how it felt to return to Bravo after Giudice incorrectly predicted her firing.

“You know what? It was fun coming back,” she said. “I mean, what do you do if you don’t have fun with it a little bit, right?”

At the time, Gorga said she was keeping her distance from Giudice and Ruelas in order to maintain her peace.

“I don’t need to talk about it. … It’s something I just, I don’t want to say don’t care about, but I just don’t anymore. That ship has sailed, and I’m okay with it, my family’s okay with it — so why do I need to talk about it? There’s absolutely nothing to talk about. So I’m not answering a question because it’s just going to be a dead-end question anyway. Keep it moving and let’s talk about something else,” she said.

Gorga And Giudice Reconciled Just Before BravoCon 2025

That is, until BravoCon 2025. According to The Blast, Giudice reconciled with the Gorgas after reflecting on the state of her relationship with her family after filming Fox’s “Special Forces” with her daughter, Gia Giudice.

Gorga also commented on their newfound relationship, saying the pair were “in a different place” these days. “Let’s just say that… everybody’s working on it. We’re working on it. We’re trying to move forward and we’ve, you know, hashed a lot of things out privately without all of this. And I think that’s a good thing.”

What Other Changes Are Coming To ‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’?

In other “RHONJ” news, mainstay and veteran pot-stirrer, Josephs, announced her sudden departure from the show in a lengthy Instagram video.

“Hi guys, it’s The Marge, I’m dialing in. I have to tell you something that might come as a little surprise to you, but not for me,” she said. “I’ve been thinking about a lot of different things, and I am moving on from The [Real] Housewives of New Jersey.”

Josephs went on to say that she’s been blessed to work on other projects and noted that the timing of her Jersey exit felt right.

“I think the timing is right. A lot of things have changed in my life. I’ve been blessed to work on a different project. I’m on the set right now,” she said. “I realized I have to spend more time with my family, work on my designing, and just take a break and move on.”

It’s still unclear who else will join Giudice, Gorga, and Catania in season 15 of “RHONJ.” However, according to Bravo, additional names will be announced in the coming weeks.
