The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14: Release date and time, what to expect and more

Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is set to premiere on Sunday, May 5, at 8 pm ET. The upcoming season will return with its core cast members and even more streaming drama, long-term friendships, and family ties.

Returning cast members, including Melissa, Dolores, Teresa, Margaret, Jennifer, Daniella, and Rachel, will join for the 14th season. However, the same can’t be said for Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice, who were notably absent due to a feud that required a filming break during the 13th season of Real Housewives of New Jersey. The fallout between both was brutal on fans.

The official synopsis for RHONJ goes,

“With more division than ever before, this season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” will prove that friendships can change at the flip of a switch. As dynamics change within the circle of friends, the ladies of the Garden State will rely on their core family units for support and understanding.”

Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 cast members

Teresa Giudice

She has been the reigning queen since the debut series. Teresa and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, have long-running feuds. A rivalry unexpectedly turned into a heated argument when Teresa accused Melissa of being a gold digger.

Melissa Gorga

Melissa joined in the third season of Real Housewives of New Jersey with full support from her husband, Joe Gorga. Despite their efforts, Teresa and Melissa’s relationship has not improved. In the 13th season, Teresa accused the couple of not supporting her family when she went to prison in 2015.

Margaret Josephs

Some fans might have called her the true villain of the reality show. Margaret revealed Teresa’s husband, Louie Ruelas’ decade-old affair in the 13th season. Things might not have worked out as per Margaret’s plan, as her son has been getting threatening calls from Louie.

Dolores Catania

Since moving on to her Irish husband, Paul Connell, aka Paulie, in the last season, things have been different for Dolores. Fans have been concerned about her relationship with her ex-husband, Frank Catania. However, seeing Dolores doing much better, it would be safe to say that not everyone in the Real Housewives of New Jersey world is doomed.

Jennifer Aydin

Twenty years of marriage, five kids — Jennifer had the perfect life until her husband’s decade-old affair was outed by Margaret Josephs, a fellow cast member. Since that time, Jennifer has been struggling to recover.

Danielle Cabral

Danielle and her husband, Nate Cabral, are famous for their witty nature and fun relationship. Throughout the 13th season, she was in between a fight with her brother, but the details were unclear. The upcoming season might shed some light on that fight.

Rachel Fuda

Merely seven weeks after giving birth to a daughter, Rachel joined the RHONJ cast in season 13. With Melissa's help, Rachel adopted Jaiden, her husband’s son, giving fans an exciting and happier storyline.
