About
Caroline Manzo first appeared on the first season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2009. Her sister, Dina Manzo (now Dina Cantin), and sister-in-law, Jacqueline Laurita, were also cast members when the show first aired. Manzo departed The Real Housewives after its fifth season and began filming a spin-off series about her family called Manzo'd with Children.[1][2] The show premiered on October 5, 2014, on Bravo; it attracted over 1.7 million viewers.[3] In March 2015, Bravo renewed Manzo'd with Children for a second season.[4] In April 2016, it was renewed for a third season.[5] In February 2017, it was announced the series would not return for a fourth season.[6][7]
Manzo has written a book entitled Let Me Tell You Something which was released on December 1, 2013, by HarperCollins.[8]
Manzo was offered a part-time role on the tenth season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but turned it down, finding the offer "insulting".[9]
Manzo is married to Albert Manzo, co-owner of The Brownstone, an event and catering facility in Paterson, New Jersey. The couple have three children: Albert "Albie" (b. 1986), Lauren Michele (b. 1988), and Christopher Thomas (b. 1989).[10][11][12]
Manzo's husband Albert and his brother, Dina Cantin's ex-husband Tommy Manzo, inherited The Brownstone from their father, Albert "Tiny" Manzo. The Brownstone was used as a location on The Sopranos.[13]
Manzo has been a resident of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.[14]
