RHONJ Star Frank Catania Is Engaged—See His Fiancée's Impressive Engagement Ring

Frank Catania Sr. of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has recently become engaged to his girlfriend, Brittany Mattessich. In an Instagram announcement, Mattessich shared their engagement, posting a photo of the couple against a backdrop of a beautiful rose wall surrounded by candles, with Mattessich proudly showing her engagement ring. The 34-year-old expressed her gratitude to the 58-year-old Bravo reality TV star, referring to him as the one who has made her "the happiest girl in the world." Catania proposed while wearing a coordinated outfit with his now-fiancée. Both were casually dressed in blue jeans and black shirts, with Mattessich adding a stylish touch with knee-high black boots and Prada sunglasses.

How Did They Meet? 

The couple first met when Catania began serving as Mattessich’s fitness trainer for competitions, forging a friendship that spanned a decade before evolving into a romantic relationship. Their romantic involvement began early last year. Prior to his relationship with Brittany Mattessich, Frank Sr. was married to Dolores Catania, 52, from 1994 to 1998, and they are parents to two children: Gabby, 28, and Frankie Jr., 25. Notably, Dolores and their children have warmly welcomed Mattessich into their lives. Frank Sr. and Dolores have maintained an amicable relationship over the years, even living together for an extended period following their divorce. Dolores Catania, one of the main cast members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, showed her support for the newly engaged couple by posting a kind message on Instagram, extending her congratulations to her former husband on his engagement to Brittany Mattessich. While Mattessich has made occasional appearances on RHONJ over the years, Frank is frequently featured on the reality show alongside his ex-wife, Dolores.
