Dolores Catania is moving to an apartment in NYC. It’s clear that things with David Principe did not work out the way she had hoped. I feel like Dolores needs someone around to keep her company a lot more than David is capable of. But Also, I have questions. But first, here is the latest.
Page Six caught up with Delores Catania earlier this week for an exclusive interview at a public event. She shared “I got an apartment in the city. I always dreamed about living in the city.”
Page Six says, “Dolores plans to move to the Financial District in May. Her new downtown pied-à-terre will also serve as home for her son, Frank Catania Jr., during his upcoming summer internship at the upscale investment bank Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. However, Frank will likely be working up to 16 hours a day.” So, Dolores is planning on hosting her girlfriends often.
Celebrating Freedom With A Spiritual Journey
“David will probably be moving into his house, like, this week,”Dolores says. She is not moving in because she is “getting used to her freedom.” Basically, she says she has raised her kids and she is not married. So, she wants to be independent and work on herself. She is working with a shaman and doing some spiritual exploration.
Dolores describes herself as “not engaged, but not single.” David plans to take her to the Rainbow Room for dinner on Valentines Day (unless he gets called in). She mentioned to Page Six, “Could you imagine if he proposed there? Oh my God.”
What Do You Think About Dolores Catania’s Plans?
Okay, who rents an apartment months before the move in date? Why May? I feel like this is a power move to get David to propose. Is she keeping her house? Will she be back in NJ to film RHONJ or is she done? What does she do for money other than the show? NYC is expensive. Also, is she really involved in those gyms she shows on TV? Because she will be too far away to work there. Is Frank moving to NYC too? Because where the hell will he live without her?
Okay, please sound of in comments. Does anyone think that Dolores Catania will be proposed to tomorrow? Do you think she is leaving RHONJ? Is anyone surprised that David didn’t propose?
I think she can’t bear the thought of Frankie Jr. in NYC without his mommy. I hope he meets lots of new friends and has a very full social life.
I feel that she’s really renting the apartment for Frank jr and possibly using this as a power play against the Dr.
Totally agree!!
Agree!!!!
I think the doctor may propose to Frank!
LOL! If gay marriage is legal in NJ then Dolores could be a bridesmaid (or bridemaid if they invite Nene) soon!
I think you are correct, Amber. I also hope the power move on Dr. David works. If Dolores wants him, I want him for her.
Totally agree there!
She needs to do something differently because it’s clear what she’s doing so far hasn’t worked. I’m not blaming everything on her because they don’t live together but by constantly putting pressure on the guy, even having friends and family question him on the show in a public forum-it’s not good. Frankly, I think it’s too late but if she made herself less available she’d find out if he really wanted to be with her not. Make people want more not less of you.
Surely she doesn’t really think David may propose on Valentines Day.
If this guy hasn’t made any serious move after 2 years he doesn’t plan to
Agree.
I agree seems like an odd relationship
I don’t see any chemistry between them, I feel like she’s paying him to pretend to be interested so she has a storyline. Also, the house that he’s having “custom” built looks like every other new construction house in this area. It’s nothing unique or special at all, it’s pretty small actually. It all feels fishy to me. If she doesn’t come back I won’t miss her.
The NYC apparently id really for Frankie but she definitely is using it as a power move…which won’t work. Let’s face it, David doesn’t want to be her. How could he when she’s still living a married life with her ex-husband (minus the sex). She should just bite the bullet and get back with Frank Sr.
Totally agree. She and Frank are a couple. What man in his right mind would tolerate a woman having so close a relationship with her ex.
He’s also a freaken big intimidating guy! Frank is huge, Frankie is pretty big now too.
I think David likes Frank and isn’t threatened by him. I just don’t think he wants to be in a relationship except on his terms. Typical middle aged jerk. They have their pick so they do what they want.
I was just divorced last month at 56. I dread getting out there and dating. I just hate the games.
Have zero knowledge of this situation as haven’t watched NJ in years. But, FWIW, I just co-signed a lease for my college aged kid yesterday that starts in May. If her kid is college aged, it’s about that time of year to be signing leases that start in May or June if they live off campus or need other housing for the summer. Those places are pretty much in the same timeframe all over the country in my experience, especially for the nice ones because they go really fast. Just my two cents as I’m waiting here with bated breath for Cho’s Survivor recap. Lol!
I also had to sign a lease and be the guarantor for my college graduate kid in Manhattan because she had no rent history. So yeah, she rented an apt.
The financial district seems like a very odd choice of NYC neighborhoods. I can’t imagine Dolores wanting to live there.
It’s a great choice if you’re from NJ. The financial district is just a ferry ride to Staten Island, you get on the highway to the Goethals Bridge. Over the bridge and you’re in Newark and north Jersey in an hour.
There are much faster ways of getting from the financial district to Northern NJ though
I want Cho’s Survivor recap too!
I’m surprised. She said she would be taking care of Frank during his convalescence and rehabilitation. Maybe that’s why she’s not moving until later.
What is he rehabbing and convalescing from again?
he fell and detached both knees and other injuries, Frank Sr.
yikes! When did that happen?
Monday. Frank Sr. joked Delores pushed him down the stairs, but he confessed he fell. Delores said she was going to nurse him during long rehab needed, torn quads too. Worried he’ll lose muscle. David looked after him at hospital, lol.
Don’t think she’ll leave NJ, Bravo’s her only independent paycheck. She needs Frank for home flipping & gym checks. She doesn’t have to rush marriage, esp if David’s not into it.
I don’t get a good feeling about David. He just seems too detached but a lot of Physicians are like him, aloof and all focused on their work. I thought I read somewhere that she was going to be with Frank Sr. while he is recovering from this major surgery and that David would be helping him with his recovery too. If I was a correctional officer in the prison system for all those years she managed to deal with that, I would be looking for some spiritual healing too.
I’m hopeful RHNJ doesn’t come back ever. Best to you Dolores but he’s just not that into you.
It’s totally possible for Dolores to commute back & forth between NJ & NYC daily. I did it for 20 years, like tens of thousands of others. There are ferries, busses & the PATH trains which go under the Hudson like subway trains. There’s also the much hated BAT (bridge & tunnel) crowd, who drive into the city everyday & add to the congestion. In her case though, I’d bet the apartment is more for Frankie’s sake than her independence. Maybe Bravo is paying for it to create a better storyline for her? Lord knows Dr. Dave seems more attracted to the decorator & her ex than he is to Dolores. I hope she finds a great catch in the city; these NJ men have done nothing but use her!
Maybe Bravo is paying for it to create a better storyline for her?
lol noe
I believe Deloras should move to NY get Frankie Jr in school and move back to her house,and date someone else instead of David.I think Frank Sr and Delores still love each other and she compares David to Frank Sr. Time a part is God for the soul and spirit.
Poor Dolores. I like her. But are him and what’s his name really that committed? It feels like the SNL dating site Settl.
Some finance internships pay well. As in pay tuition, living expenses and still have money leftover well.
NYC is currently a renter’s market. It was just announced in the past few weeks that the major rental players have eliminated broker’s fees.That is huge. Sublets have often been a relatively affordable option as well. FiDi will be very convenient for Frankie and offers a decent value per square foot for downtown—partly because there is no nightlife to speak of.
I am still not convinced Dolores and Frank SR are platonic. She not only depends upon him, I think they are both still in love with each other. There is a reason neither of them have made a long term commitment work with another person. They weren’t successful at staying married, but there is still too much between them for another love match to work.
This. They are so loving to each other and to Jr. He was probably a crappy husband but she’s taking the “in sickness and in health” part seriously and I admire her for that. He is so funny and owns his mistakes. Boats and whores or something like that.
Oh wow, your comment, I had a revalation!!! Kim Richards and Monty’s relationship. Couldn’t be married, couldn’t stay out of each other’s relationships.
Also waiting on Cho’s Survivor 😀
I think they already broke up and this is the equivalent to “cutting your hair” after a major break up. Good for you Dolores. Go live those Mary Tyler Moore dreams.
I think Frank has been a cheater over the years, but now is growing older and sees what a good woman he had in Dolores. She always loved him and wanted her family together. I’m sure she’s setting up an apartment for her son, but I highly doubt she’s going to stay in NYC. I think she is exploring her independence, and I just don’t see her with David. Didn’t Siggy set them up? Has Dolores even dated other guys?
The apartment is for Jr. She’s not leaving Jersey but she should sell that house. Why does one person need so much room?
I totally agree.
How can Frank be a, “cheater” over the years when they’ve been divorced like 15 years. He probably cheated when they were married but the kids were tiny and it was a very long time ago. I think she’s in NYC for her kid and probably a short term lease. It’s also a way of saving face, I’m sure this is embarrassing for her
True, but I remember when Dolores first joined the show she was still hurting. Seems like even though they weren’t together, she hadn’t gotten over it. I just recall that lunch with Jacqueline and Siggy where she was talking like it just happened.
I think she picked May since Jr is doing a summer internship. I thought she was supposed to move in with David maybe her rule was that she needed to be engaged before moving in. David didn’t do it so now she’s doing her thing. Imo, she’s trying to teach him a lesson.
Well the move may very well have changed already. Frank Sr. had an accident and will be in a wheelchair for months. He said he needs help and I am sure Dolores will stay at home to help him. He will be rehabilitating for months..
she’s probably just moving to NYC for the summer, her son having an internship there is a good excuse. I thought she had already broken up with David. She’s probably waiting for the new season to announce it.
I believe most men know within 2 weeks if not 2 minutes lol, that they have met the woman they will marry. I don’t believe David has felt that towards Delores. Like my Mom says…Actions speak louder than words. Also in that line of thinking a leopard doesn’t change his spots 😀
He’s a doctor in his 50’s. He needs another marriage like he needs a hole in his head. Sit and spin Delores because you’re not getting a ring from him. He’d be an idiot.
Lol I agree with you on that train of thought. I am in my midfifties and have been married almost 30yrs….if my marriage was to end There is No Way I would do it again.
