For 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' fans watching the relationship between Dolores Catania and David Principe is comparable to tooth extraction. She was hell-bent on getting a ring from her doctor boyfriend on the previous season of Bravo's hit show. She kept trying to push him into proposing to her only to find him resisting all her attempts by coming up with excuses ranging from waiting for the completion of his house's construction to accusing the housewife of being busy. This left both Dolores and fans feeling frustrated and wondering if David was commitment-phobic and questioning his intentions with her.

But suddenly, on the ongoing season 11 of 'RHONJ', Dolores can be seen singing a totally different tune. She has made peace with not receiving the ring from David anytime soon and appears to be happy and content with her current relationship status with him. She even got into a huge fight with her co-stars for over-analyzing her relationship and judging David's intentions. In case you were wondering what changed, and why Dolores is suddenly so unbothered about getting a proposal from David then we might have the answer. There's a rumor being circulated on the internet about David's past which explains his reluctance to propose to Dolores. Read on to know more about this rumor.

Was David Principe married earlier and divorced?

On 'RHONJ' David was introduced as Dolores' super busy boyfriend who barely has any time for personal life owing to his demanding career as a doctor. Due to his busy lifestyle, we barely get to see him on the show or accompanying his beautiful girlfriend to events where the other housewives and their partners are in attendance. But according to Deux Moi, a celebrity gossip page on Instagram, there might be a pretty strong reason for David's strange behavior aside from his career. An anonymous follower of Deux Moi who has nicknamed herself Jersey Babe submitted piping hot tea on Dolores and David's relationship. According to her, David was allegedly married before, and it reportedly ended in a "bitter divorce". Due to which, David is reluctant to go through the whole marriage thing again, and Dolores is allegedly not only aware of it but also is reportedly cool with it. 

The anonymous person wrote, "I know someone who works with David at the same hospital in Paterson. She and her family are friends with David and they've met Dolores numerous times. The storyline revolving around Dolores wanting a ring from David and David being some kind of commitment-phobe, who won't give her the love she needs, is completely bogus. The truth is David has never hid the fact that he doesn't want to get married again. He was married before and he was really screwed over. It was a bitter divorce, one that cost him a great deal of money. He doesn't want to go through that again." "In real life, Dolores knows this and is cool about it. The whole thing about her being disappointed that David won't give her a ring and won't commit to her is a nonsensical, made-up storyline," added the anonymous person.

Who was David Principe's ex-wife?

There's no information available in public records about David's marriage nor of his ex-wife. So, until David or Dolores confirm it or make any statement about it, we won't know if the rumor of David's divorce is true.

Although David might not always be around Dolores, she explained that he's always present by her side when it mattered the most. On the recently aired episode of 'RHONJ', David was present to celebrate Dolores' children's birthday, which had her feeling very pleased. 

'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 11 airs every Wednesday at 9/8c only on Bravo.
