Reality TV shows dominate the entertainment industry as they give that relatable vibe that all of us long for. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Dolores Catania, is one of the known celebrities in the reality TV industry. Many people have taken an interest in her. That’s why when Dolores Catania revealed she is now living with her boyfriend, Paulie Connell, her fans wanted more details about their relationship.
Paul Connell is a family man who is the owner and CEO of Eco Electrical Services LLCCatania. So, Connell technically has also made quite a name in the business industry with a net worth of $1-2 million.
Connell started dating Catania back in 2021. However, they announced their relationship to the public in 2022 when they posted a sweet post on Instagram on Valentine’s day. Their relationship has been going stronger than before.

The couple frequently posts sweet moments they share with each other on social media. However, what made fans go crazy was when Catania finally revealed during the “Let Me Tell You Something About Our Families” panel at BravoCon 2022 that she and Connell had already lived under one roof.
This shows that things are getting serious between The Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her boyfriend. She stated in the interview that this big decision was made in December 2021 as they want to take that next step in their relationship.
Catania also shared that her boyfriend, Connell, is very hands-on in her life. Connell doesn’t want Catania to struggle on her own. As much as he can, he always wants to be with her at all times to join her in any problems she might go through. Connell served as a constant support system for her.
In a statement, Catania added that Connell always compliments him in any way possible. Connell technically wants to make her life better. Catania even reminisces about the time when she first met Connell.
Sources say that Connell told Catania that although she is the main definition of an independent woman, she still wants to be a part of her stuff as much as possible. So Connell hopes that Catania will let him care for her in the best way possible.

That’s why, even though Catania knows she doesn’t need any man to provide for her needs, hearing someone tell her that makes her heart flutter. Such touching words really show how good of a man Connell is.
To further elaborate on how good Connell is, even Catania’s ex-husband Frank Catania can only say good things about Connell to the point that he is now regarded as one of Connell’s fans.
Catania and Frank had a rather civil relationship even after they split up. In an interview, Frank even stated that he and Connell get along just fine. It’s gotten to the point where it’s become a good friendship.
He also stated that he, Catania, and his girlfriend Brittany typically go out to dinner together, which is unusual given that they are ex-partners. This simply demonstrates how mutual respect remains even after the breakup.
Even though Catania and Connell appear to be ready to make things official, Catania informs the public that she and her boyfriend are not yet engaged. “No, this is not an engagement ring. I’m going to switch it because many people are saying I’m engaged. I’m going to put it on this finger,” she stated, referring to the ring on her finger.
But one thing is for sure; the reality TV Star wants her future wedding to be filmed at The Real Housewives of New Jersey. There is no doubt that the wedding she is imagining is definitely with Connell. Considering their relationship keeps on getting stronger each day, the fact that the two are mature in handling things on their own makes their relationship so healthy.

Catania actually shared her thoughts on the Up and Adam! Podcast with Adam Newell. Catania discussed marrying Paulie Connell and how her cast mate’s recent wedding has left her open to possibly filming her own big day for the viewers and for herself.
Catania stated that the show’s followers put time and effort into their life and feels she owes it to them. She believes that because the viewers have committed their time to watch the show, she must share what is going on in her life with them.
Connell, who joined Catania in the interview, stated that he would be fine with cameras being present during his wedding and that he would prefer something a bit grandiose but not gigantic.
That said, fans of Dolores Catania and her boyfriend, Paulie Connell, should stay updated. We don’t know, the wedding of the century might happen anytime soon.
