It’s all about family for sassy Italian Melissa Gorga, the star of Bravo’s hit show THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY. She and her charismatic husband, Joe Gorga, have been married for 16 years and have three beautiful children - Antonia (15), Gino (13) and Joey (10). 

The show is currently the second highest rated show of the franchise, with an average of over a million viewers per week and Melissa has proven to be a favorite among fans. The show will be filming it’s 12th season this year.

Melissa defines what it is to be a modern housewife. Known for having an eye for style, she successfully launched her own clothing boutique Envy by Melissa Gorga in Montclair, NJ and online retail store EnvybyMG.com. Never afraid to take on a new challenge, Melissa has learned to balance family, friendships and career, while staying true to her own personal style.

She turned her dream of becoming a recording artist into a reality with multiple songs breaking the top ten Dance/R&B charts on iTunes, including "On Display," "How Many Times," "I Just Wanna," and she is just getting started. Along with her blossoming music career and chasing after three high-energy kids, Melissa wrote her first book, LOVE ITALIAN STYLE: THE SECRETS OF MY HOT AND HAPPY MARRIAGE, released in September 2013.
