As Jennifer was trying to pick up the pieces and ensure her children aren't affected by the shocking reveal, in a surprise turn of events, Jackie Goldschneider extended her support to Jen and tried to be a good friend to her, while Dolores Catania, who Jen considered as her good friend was siding with Marge.

Who is Dolores Catania's new boyfriend?
While rumor mills began buzzing from back in December 2021 about Dolores dating a man named Paul Connell, the 'RHONJ' star finally confirmed her relationship with Connell on February 14th when she posted a picture of themselves together on her Instagram. The housewife captioned the cute picture with, "#love #wins #always #valentines #day Oh its looks like he found " real love " together is better always 💕🎈♥️🎈💕 Stay tuned .........." Prior to confirming their relationship, Dolores also posted pictures from their vacation to St. Martin on her Instagram stories.
According to Connell's LinkedIn profile, he is the owner of Eco Electrical Services LLC, a high-end electrical contracting company headquartered in New York City. He was trained at St Mark's in Tallaght, Ireland. Paul appears to be a very private person as he set his Instagram to private and hasn't shared much information about his life on the internet. According to his Instagram bio, he is a proud Irish New Yorker. He appears to be very close to his mother. He is also a doting father of two sons from a previous relationship. Dolores and Connell reportedly met through a mutual friend. Sadly, we won't get to see Connell on 'RHONJ' as the show's filming ended by the time the couple began seeing each other. Hopefully, we'll get to see Connell in the next season of 'RHONJ' and get to learn more about him. In the meanwhile, we'll just have to make do with Dolores and Connell's social media posts.
'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 12 airs every Tuesday at 8/7c on Bravo.
