The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Frank Catania and his fiancée, Brittany Mattesich, secretly tied the knot.
“We are married,” Catania, 60, said on the Thursday, March 6, episode of PodcastOne’s “On Display With Melissa Gorga” podcast, noting that the ceremony took place “back in November” of 2024.
Frank — who was previously married to Gorga’s RHONJ costar Dolores Catania — and Mattesich are still planning to hold a second ceremony later this year.
“We’re gonna have it up here now. I can’t put Brittany through it again,” Frank quipped. “We don’t have a date [yet], but we’re doing it up here. We’re not doing a destination wedding.”
RHONJ’s Dolores Catania Will ‘Definitely’ Go to Ex-Husband Frank’s Wedding
Frank popped the question to Mattesich in October 2023.
“We’re Engaged!!!! 
I’m so excited to start this next chapter with you along with all the other good things we have going on,” Mattessich wrote via Instagram at the time. “Thank you for being you & making me the happiest girl in the world. I wouldn’t want to do this life with anyone else other than @frank.catania.sr. Love you so much my fiancé .”
Frank and Dolores, 54, were married between 1994 and 1998, during which time they welcomed daughter Gabrielle, now 29, and son Frankie Jr., now 26. At the time of Frank’s proposal, Dolores was ecstatic for her former spouse.
“I’m so excited. Frank’s a part of the family and it’s like you’re happy for someone who’s a part of your family to find the right person,” Dolores exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2023. “And he’s happy, she’s excited and I just wish them the best.”
Dolores Catania Attends Bridal Shower for Ex-Husband’s Future Wife
Dolores, who even attended Mattesich’s bridal shower, further teased to Us that she and her boyfriend, Paulie Connell, would “definitely” go to her ex’s wedding.
Dolores has been dating Connell, 50, since 2021. After Connell recently finalized his divorce, Frank believes that their own engagement might follow.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised,” Frank said on Thursday’s episode. “Honestly, if it’s going to happen, I think it’d happen within 2025.”
Dolores is not in a rush to accept a proposal, frequently stressing that she’s happy with her and Connell’s romance as it is. The Bravo star is also gearing up to be a mother-of-the-groom after son Frankie Jr. proposed to his girlfriend, Nicole Perricho, on February 22.
Shooting down Gorga’s hopes for a “triple wedding,” Frank hinted that Frankie Jr. and Perricho were eyeing a wedding date in 2026.
