'RHONJ' star Dolores Catania teams up with Paulie Connell for new business venture in 'electrical work'
MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: Paulie Connell, star of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ (RHONJ), may not be ready to propose marriage yet, but he is eager to make a different kind of commitment to his girlfriend, Dolores Catania. Together, they are joining hands for a new business venture that includes electrical work.
The work involves ensuring that all electrical systems are functioning properly and safely, as well as troubleshooting and resolving any issues that may arise. This may involve the use of specialized tools and equipment, as well as knowledge of electrical codes and regulations.
Additionally, it may also involve collaborating with other professionals, such as contractors or inspectors, to ensure that the work is completed to the highest standards. Overall, this task requires a high level of skill, expertise, and attention to detail in order to complete the necessary electrical work.
During 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 14 Episode 8, Dolores excitedly revealed that she and Paulie are finally taking the plunge into a new business venture together. The dynamic duo is prepared to ignite a spark as they embark on this exciting journey hand in hand.
After a calming meditation session, she excitedly shared with Jennifer Aydin and Teresa Giudice that she and Paul were teaming up to start a business together.
“Me and Paul are opening a business together,” she said.
What is 'RHONJ' star Dolores Catania and Paulie Connell's new business venture?
Dolores enthusiastically explained that her latest business endeavor was focused on sustainability, combining eco-friendly practices with cutting-edge technology to create an "eco-electric" company.
She emphasized the importance of protecting the environment and reducing carbon emissions through innovative solutions in the electric vehicle industry.
Dolores's vision for the company was to revolutionize the way people think about transportation and energy consumption, ultimately leading to a greener and more sustainable future for generations to come.
She went on to explain that Paulie was sharing his knowledge and skills with her, with the intention of going into business together in the future.
In the same episode, the Paterson native revealed to her mother, Valerie, and daughter Gabrielle that her new business venture was inspired by her boyfriend Paulie's desire to make a meaningful commitment to her.
Despite limited information available at the time, she expressed excitement about the potential of this new endeavor and the opportunity it presented for personal growth and financial success.
“I can’t wait to see you put in electrical wires,” Gabrielle shared.
Dolores added, “I’m not an electrician and by the way neither is he. He has electricians that work for him, but he is a contractor. His intentions for me are very good.”
Valerie and Gabeielle remained unconvinced about choosing a business over an engagement ring, prompting Dolores to further elaborate on Paulie's rationale. Despite their skepticism, Dolores persisted in explaining the thought process behind Paulie's choice.
“I never even asked for it but this was the commitment he wants to make. He thinks when a man brings you into his business world that’s the equivalent of being introduced to his children because that’s what that means to him," she said.
Is Paulie Connell divorced?
Paulie and Dolores have been in a relationship for almost two years, but they cannot progress further because Paulie is still legally married to his ex Joanne.
Despite being separated for 15 years and supposedly in the process of getting a divorce, the marriage is still legally intact.
In 'RHONJ' Season 14, Episode 6, Dolores acknowledged that the lengthy divorce proceedings were making her feel frustrated and upset. She expressed frustration to Paulie because he had previously said he would be divorced by now.
Paulie has shared he bought a ring for Dolores, but in a recent conversation, he seemed unsure about marrying her. He asked her if she thought he would propose to her immediately after getting divorced.
In Episode 6, the entrepreneur shared more about his thoughts and feelings while golfing with Joe Gorga, Joe Benigno, and John Fuda.
He is considering starting a business with Dolores in electrical work and flipping houses as a way to build a future together, even though she wants to get engaged and married.
Dolores' real estate experience will be invaluable for the new operation, though she has yet to determine her specific role within the company. She feels flattered to be offered a position in a male-dominated field but is hesitant to accept because the job title and responsibilities have not been clearly defined.
Although Dolores was hesitant at first, she now appears prepared to push through and start the new journey. She said that marriage is not a top priority in her life at the moment.
'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 14 airs on Bravo on Sundays at 8 pm ET
