Over the years, there have been a few stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey who have left the series, including Nicole Napolitano, who ended her time as a main cast member after season 6. With RHONJ season 12 right around the corner, those who love the show are taking a look back at previous seasons and past housewives. Season 6 aired back in 2014 to an underwhelming reception from loyal viewers. Bravo tried adding a few new faces, including Nicole, Amber Marchese, and Teresa Aprea.

Bravo followers were excited to see twins cast, with Nicole making up one-half of the set. While her sister, Teresa, owned a few restaurants in New York City, Nicole was going through a divorce and dipping her toe back in the dating pool, while also raising her two sons, Anthony and Joey. Nicole was a working housewife who loved her job in the premier jet brokerage section.  Even though Nicole was a Jersey girl through and through, she just couldn’t connect with RHONJ viewers. After one season, Nicole and her twin exited the show as main cast members.

Nicole called Colts Neck Township, New Jersey home, which left viewers thinking the Bravo crew had to travel a long distance to find women who compared to Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga. After leaving RHONJ, Nicole did make a quick guest appearance on season 7, but she didn’t stick around too long. The twins left the show due to Amber’s husband, Jim Marchese, claiming that their mother, Santa, had an affair with Teresa’s husband. Nicole at the time was dating a police officer named Bobby Ciasulli.

Sadly, Nicole ended her relationship with Bobby in 2018. Since leaving the show, she has kept a relatively low profile and does not have an Instagram to keep viewers updated. As for her dating life, it seems to be nonexistent or extremely private. Her twin updates her page regularly and periodically shows Nicole in the background looking happy. While it is highly unlikely Nicole would ever return to RHONJ, viewers are still excited for what’s to come on the show.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is set to return next month. Fan favorites like Teresa, Melissa, and Jennifer Aydin are back for what is said to be a jammed-pack season. The drama will be at an all-time high as Margaret Josephs goes after Luis Ruelas. Per usual, Teresa is not about to let anyone disrespect her new man and is ready to start flipping tables once more. The current RHONJ cast has remained consistent for the last four seasons, which many believe has contributed to its success.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 12 premieres February 1 at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
