RHONJ: Margaret Josephs’ Relationship Timelines With Ex Boyfriends

From The Real Housewives of New Jersey fame, Margaret Josephs has been open and honest about her past relationships throughout her time on the series. She admitted to cheating on her first husband with her second. However, the couple is together today. Margaret was never a woman who used a man for money and success – she only wanted a man to truly love her for who she is. Even though she has made mistakes in her relationships, in the end, Margaret ended up with her perfect match.

Viewers met Margaret when she joined the popular Bravo series at the beginning of season eight. She brought the cameras into her life as a businesswoman and a fashion designer who married her contractor, Joe Benigno. Margaret quickly became a fan favorite out of everyone on the cast. Viewers loved her sense of humor, her quick wit, and her ability to make sense of a situation (something most of the women on this cast are incapable of doing). Fans also love her relationship with her husband, Joe. Here is a brief timeline of Margaret’s relationships.

Her Former Boss

During a recent episode of RHONJ, the fashion designer admitted she felt pressured to be intimate with a former boss. At the age of 22, Margaret landed her first job in New York City’s garment district. Her boss was a very good-looking man who 20 years older and showed some interest in her. She and her boss would shop the stores together, grab dinner, and head back to his apartment. He would pressure Margaret to sleep with him, and she gave in. In the episode, the 53-year-old admitted that “it was a weird dynamic and it was a very different time.”

Jan Josephs

Margaret married her first husband, Jan, in 1994. Jan was already a father of three and welcomed another son with Margaret during their marriage. On RHONJ, the reality star would often speak fondly of her step-children, even though some of them have not spoken in quite some time. After 19 years of marriage, the couple decided to file for divorce. Jan and Margaret’s marriage was slowly falling apart, plus she had fallen in love with someone else.

Joe Benigno

Margaret met her current husband, Joe, after she hired him as a contractor to work on the moldings in the home she shared with Jan. The couple fell in love and began a secret affair together. Soon after the affair started, Margaret began to realize this was more than just two people sneaking around together. She eventually concluded that she was in love with Joe. She decided to file for divorce from Jan and eloped with Joe several weeks later in Las Vegas on June 6, 2013, according to Radar Online. Margaret and Joe are still happily married today.

Before Margaret became a New Jersey housewife, she was the talk of her town as the woman who had an affair with her contractor. Since joining the franchise, she has been able to put the scandal that caused her first marriage to crumble behind her. She and Joe may have started their relationship in a scandalous way, but he is her one true love. Sometimes when you find the one, you have to take a risky chance.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
