The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum gave her Instagram followers a new update on her son with Chris Laurita.
Jacqueline Laurita is one fierce mom of three and now we’re getting a new look at her life today as a mom to son, Nicholas.
During the first seven seasons on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jacqueline gave a look inside of her life with husband, Chris Laurita as they raised their three kids — her oldest daughter from a previous relationship, Ashlee Holmes Malleo, and their sons, CJ and Nicholas. Throughout her time on the show, Jacqueline had been open about Nicholas having autism, which was confirmed in 2012. And since leaving the show, she has continued to advocate for her son.
After RHONJ, Jacqueline and Chris left New Jersey and headed west to Las Vegas before landing in Orange County, California, in June 2023, due to Chris’ business. While Jacqueline seems to be loving her new, sunny locale, according to Jacqueline’s newest update on Nicholas, he has been loving it too.
Jacqueline took to her Instagram feed on Tuesday, April 9, where she shared a series of photos and videos from a recent drive that she and Nicholas took on the Pacific Coast Highway. In the video, her son can be seen smiling while he rides in the back seat of the car and looks out the window.
Both Jacqueline and Nick took in the sights of the PCH, admiring the rolling hills, the ocean, and even got to see a bird with a lizard in its mouth. “My handsome Nick just enjoying his weekly weekend drive up and down the PCH and all over the OC,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “(I could have gone without seeing the poor little lizard in the bird’s mouth. Maybe they’re just friends).”
Jacqueline has continued to share her life with Nick, celebrating his wins like him getting straight A’s in the 7th grade, highlighting his drawings of people, and sharing videos of him singing.
Jacqueline Laurita’s Recent Life Updates
It is rare for Jacqueline to give her followers a look inside her life. Before this update on Nick, Jaqueline last posted on her Instagram account in January, where she showed off her favorite pair of shoes and revealed that she moved to the OC in June 2023.
While Jacqueline has been busy attending conferences for the Autism Community in Action, and raising her two sons, she has still found the time for her fellow Real Housewife alums.
Jacqueline grabbed lunch with The Real Housewives of Orange County alums, Gretchen Rossi and Peggy Tanous, in February..
Jacqueline has also reconnected with RHONJ cast member, Teresa Giudice in 2023. She appeared on her podcast, Namaste B$tches, in March 2023, and opened up about her current friendship with Teresa during an appearance on the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast in May of that same year.
“So now we keep in touch. We do text,” Jacqueline said. “Well, we’ve talked on the phone for a few times. You know, she called me when she had her stepson in the car, she was on the way to pick up her daughter from dance class, and we just talked the whole way there and back.”
