CLINTON, CONNECTICUT: Catherine Galasso Vigorito, a mother of three daughters, is facing criticism for focusing all her attention on her daughter Gabriella Vigorito. For those unfamiliar, 'sMothered' star is also a caring mother to her two daughters, Lauren and Sophia. Recently, Catherine's life has revolved around supporting her daughter Gabriella in her quest to win the Miss Connecticut USA beauty pageant. 

However, some netizens feel that Catherine is prioritizing Gabriella and neglecting her other two daughters.

One social media user wrote, "In case you haven’t noticed, you have two other daughters."

A user quipped, "Of course, the mother doesn’t pay attention to her other two daughters."

Followed by a user who penned, "What about your other kids."

A user went on to say, "This mother is so cringe!! ."

Another user chimed in, "Ridiculous. The mother is .."

A comment read, "That’s just weird. I have a daughter that I love and adore and I don’t ignore my other children. I think it’s super weird to be like that bc I have a loving ans we have an awesome relationship but she never involved herself like that. It’s just so weird. My mom used to dress my twin and me the same and he’s a boy. And that was weird for me to see yeats later. At least I was a twin."

Are Gabriella Vigorito's sisters jealous of her close bond with mom Catherine?

Catherine shares an incredibly unique and profound connection with Gabriella, which is just as strong and unbreakable as her bonds with her other two children, Lauren and Sophia. Throughout their lives, Catherine and her children have consistently donned matching attire, a tradition that has been upheld since their earliest days as infants.

Catherine found it convenient and enjoyable to purchase identical clothing for herself and her three daughters. Although Lauren and Sophia were not particularly fond of dressing like their mother, Gabriella, on the other hand, embraced the idea and enjoyed being twinning with her mom. As a result, Gabriella and Catherine became an inseparable duo, always matching outfits and even sharing the same clothing size.

In a teaser, both Lauren and Sophia talked about their personal growth and development. However, when it comes to Gabriella, she did not provide any insight or explanation as to how she has evolved in this regard. Consequently, Lauren and Sophia think that this lack of personal growth might be contributing to certain difficulties or challenges that Gabriella is currently facing. Gabriella's sisters feel that she needs to develop her individuality and pursue her own interests. Currently, her life primarily revolves around her job at a salon and participating in pageants alongside her mother.

Did Gabriella Vigorito Win Miss Connecticut 2023?

Although Gabriella put an immense amount of effort and commitment into the highly competitive 2023 Miss Connecticut pageant, she unfortunately fell short of securing the highly coveted title. Instead, it was Karla Aponte Roque who emerged victorious and claimed the crown. However, Gabriella's hard work and perseverance did not go unnoticed, as she was awarded the honorable title of fourth runner-up, ensuring that she did not leave the competition empty-handed.

Although Gabriella did not wear the crown on this occasion, this setback serves as undeniable proof of her unwavering strength and unwavering commitment. Furthermore, she shows no signs of surrendering anytime in the foreseeable future.

Will Gabriella Vigorito compete for the crown again?

Despite finishing in fourth place in the Miss Connecticut 2023 pageant, Gabriella's spirits remain undeterred, as this setback has only ignited a stronger determination within her to once again compete for the coveted crown in the forthcoming pageant. “I have been competing since I was 19 and I’ve placed as a top five finalist, but I’m not giving up on my dream to follow in mama’s footsteps and bag the same title she landed," Gabriella told the New York Post.

In addition to her dreams of wearing the crown, Gabriella shares her longing for a romantic partnership, recognizing the difficulties that arise from her incredibly close relationship with her mother. Despite the numerous challenges and hurdles that she faces, she maintains a positive and hopeful outlook on her quest to discover true love, all while simultaneously managing the intricate dynamics and intricacies of her one-of-a-kind bond with her mother.

Gabriella further added, "My mom...wants me to always be hanging out with her — no one else. When I have boyfriends, mom says we are in the ‘love triangle.'"
