Career

Napolitano's boyfriend Bobby brought the twins to the attention of the Bravo network as potential cast members on Real Housewives. [1] Mauriello and her sister appeared on the sixth season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2014, as additions to the cast together with Amber Marchese; the three new cast members took over from Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita, who left the show. [2] She left the series after one season, though continued to appear as a guest in Season 7. [3] Napolitano's relationship with her boyfriend was a major element of the show, though in November 2014, Napolitano's boyfriend Bobby Ciasulli posted an hour-long video providing his side of story regarding conflicts that had taken place on the screen and behind the scenes. [4]

Press reports indicated that Napolitano and Aprea were dropped because their Central Jersey home base made it more challenging to integrate them into the action among the bulk of the core cast members an hour away in North Jersey. [5]

Personal life

Napolitano and her twin sister Teresa Aprea were born in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. [1] Parents Salvatore and Santa Napolitano both appeared on the show together with their daughters. [6] She attended St. John's University in New York City and the American University of Rome. [1]

Napolitano lives in Colts Neck Township, New Jersey. [1] Divorced from former-husband Joseph Mauriello, she has raised their children Anthony and Joey. [7]

Napolitano ran a home-based personal development business she ran while raising her children and operates a private jet charter business. [8] She also owns a Dairy Queen franchise. [9]
