Lauren Manzo’s Ex Vito Scalia Moves On After Divorce From ‘RHONJ’ Star

Lauren Manzo’s estranged husband Vito Scalia has moved on with Dominique Valenti.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum’s ex — who filed for divorce from Manzo in September 2023 — has been dating Valenti for at least five months, according to the Daily Mail.

Valenti began posting photos of Scalia in August 2023, but it’s unclear whether they were a couple at the time.

They were officially together on Valentine’s Day when Valenti posted a video montage showing them kissing, dancing, traveling and going to events together.

“Happy Valentine’s Day to the most amazing man I know! Your soul is like a secret I could never keep! Thank you every day over and over again for coming into my life and making my soul come alive,” she captioned the video.

“I knew you existed on this planet and that you were everything a woman could ask for…my complete package. Thank you God for you and the family you come from! It’s all I could have asked for 🥰✨”

A month later, Valenti celebrated her birthday and lovingly posted a selfie of the two of them in the kitchen.

“Happy birthday to the best gift I’ve ever received! You are simply the best and there’s no other way to say it! Everyone who knows you loves you and if they don’t… it’s definitely their loss ❤️Thank you for being my best friend!” she captioned the photo on March 20.

Most recently, Scalia and his 7-year-old daughter, Marchesa, whom he shares with Manzo, attended Valenti’s daughter’s birthday party.

According to LinkedIn, Valenti has worked as a field supervisor for Shell for nearly two decades, but she has a true passion for health and wellness.

“Obsessed with sports and Vito 😍 💪💪,” her Instagram bio reads.

Scalia filed for divorce from Manzo — who rose to fame with his mother, Caroline Manzo, on the early seasons of “RHONJ” — on Sept. 5, 2023, after eight years of marriage.

In the filing, he claimed that they had been in conflict “for at least six months, which led to the breakdown of their marriage” and that the marriage had “no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.”

Shortly after announcing their split, Manzo, 36, took to Instagram to address the breakup and assure her fans that they were “doing well” and had been “separated for a very long time.”

“We continue to move forward with love and respect for each other, and we will always be family,” she said in a video in October.

“Vito and I love and respect each other and we continue to move forward as a family. All that matters to us is that our daughter is happy and healthy. Her privacy is important to us.”

The “Manzo’d With Children” couple began dating in 2009 after meeting through Manzo’s brother and married six years later.
