RHONJ: What Happened To Jackie Laurita After Season 8
In the earlier The Real Housewives of New Jersey seasons, Jacqueline Laurita was a fan favorite, and viewers are wondering what happened to her after she quit the show. The mother of three was a true friend who always stood up for herself while she was on the series. However, after she had a falling out with the Skinny Italian author Teresa Guidice, people who follow the show didn't hear much from her.
The beloved Jersey housewife starred in The Real Housewives of New Jersey for five seasons. Bravo fans first met her as Teresa's close friend. Both women raised their children together, but Jacqueline decided to leave the show behind after her clash with Teresa. She briefly returned in season 7, but her TV time was short-lived. After Jacqueline left, RHONJ fans felt for her since her close bond with her friend was destroyed. She decided to move back to Las Vegas with her husband Chris Laurita and their sons, CJ and Nicholas.
Following her departure from RHONJ, viewers have been curious about what the mother of three has been doing. Jacqueline has stayed busy, as she's been working closely with her son, Nicholas, who was diagnosed as an autistic person. For the most part, the former reality star has kept a fairly low profile about her daily life. However, she is still very much involved with raising autism awareness. Jacqueline recently celebrated her son Nicholas' 12th birthday. Fans have been able to keep up with her on her Instagram. Check out her post below:
The former RHONJ housewife chronicled her journey with her son for most of her time on the show. Jacqueline has also become quite the influencer, as she often posts about her Flat Tummy Gummies. In September, Jacqueline shared some sad news regarding her King Charles Spaniel, Santino. The beloved dog passed away after 12 years as the family pet. For the most part, Jacqueline does not keep in contact with any of her former co-stars, with the exception of her sisters-in-law, Caroline and Dina Manzo.
Fans may not know that Jacqueline became a grandmother in 2016 when her daughter Ashlee gave birth to a little boy. Since then, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has been taking the role of grandma pretty seriously. She really enjoys bonding with Ashlee. It doesn't look like RHONJ alum Jacqueline has any plans to return to the hit show, but she seems quite comfortable hanging out in her old stomping grounds. The newest season of the Jersey franchise is about to kick off, and fans are anticipating plenty of exciting onscreen action.
