RHONJ’s Jennifer Aydin reveals why she stayed and forgave husband Bill after admitting to his two-year affair
RHONJ's Jennifer Aydin has revealed why she fought for her marriage after Bill admitted to his two-year affair.
The TV star confirmed rumors that Bill had a lengthy affair with a co-worker during the season premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Jennifer and Bill, who were added to the cast of the Bravo reality show back in 2018, have since put the infidelity behind them and have worked on rebuilding their marriage.
Jennifer took to social media to share a new snap of her and Bill alongside their five children; Justin, 18, Gabby, 15, Jacob, 13, Christian, 11, and Olivia, 9.
They posed around the dining table for a family snap, Jennifer captioned the post: "I’m glad I stayed…and forgave #aydinfamily #tbt"
Her fans praised the star for being "strong" and getting through the difficult times for the sake of her family.
One wrote: "Completely agree and support you, Jennifer. I’ve done the same. Celebrating 32 years this year. Staying is the hard part, not leaving. Family is Forever!!!! You’re a rockstar. ❤️"
Another posted: "How you handled that took courage okay???? You didn’t back down and shows how strong you are. It’s the authenticity for me boo. Keep doin ya thing!! ❤️"
"Marriage takes work and none has the right to judge you. Some women on the show can be tasteless but you pray and let God handle the rest ❤️," a third commented.
A fourth said: "It takes more strength to do what you did...❤️ and I commend you for that. I too have stayed and forgave."
The latest season of RHONJ kicked off with major drama in the Garden State.
While it appeared that the episode would focus on Teresa Giudice, her love life, and her relationship with brother Joe Gorga, it was Jennifer who stole the show in the final moments.
Months earlier, Bravo released a trailer teasing trouble for Jennifer and her plastic surgeon husband. It was unclear at the time what their problems may be, but fans need not wonder any longer.
During the premiere, the RHONJ cast gathered for a pool party at Teresa's home.
The party kicked off with whispers about her fiancé Luis Ruelas and quickly shifted as Jennifer attempted to clear the air with Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret Josephs.
Rather than make amends, Margaret dropped a major bombshell, accusing Jennifer of being dishonest: "You always say, 'Bill's the best.' Listen, he had an affair, everyone knows and that's why he left his old job."
Turning to Teresa, who attempted to intervene, Margaret said: "Her marriage isn't as perfect as she says it is.
"Bill had the affair with the office manager for two years."
The post, which was shared in August 2021, read: "A certain Jersey housewife who became famous for wearing pigtails but now mostly wears wigs and fake extensions, got doused with a glass of rosé over the weekend when she took things too far with another wife [whom] she is trying to ice out of the group.
"She's more upset, though, that her friend who she brought onto the show is siding against her and didn't have her back when she got soaked."
Another DeuxMoi blind read:
It read: "I got some tea to spill straight out of New Jersey.
"This [housewives's] husband from NJ had an affair 10 years ago (not Jackie) and Marge found out and told everyone at [Teresa's] party.
"Wife is super p****d because only they knew about it and had already worked past their issues, and now she has to tell her kids abut it."
Additionally, cast bios for the upcoming season teased of Margaret: "After revealing an Aydin family secret, Margaret deals with the guilt that comes along with causing pain to Jennifer."
The bio suggests that their relationship may recover at some point this season.
