How is Danielle Cabral related to Caroline Manzo? The surprising connection between the RHONJ stars

Here is the summary:

Danielle Cabral is one of the new faces on The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13. She joined the show as a full-time cast member, along with Rachel Fuda, while Jennifer Fessler became a friend of the show. Danielle has already made an impression on the viewers and the other housewives with her mozzarella making party and her Staten Island attitude. But what many fans may not know is that Danielle has a surprising connection to one of the RHONJ OGs, Caroline Manzo.

Danielle’s step-family ties to the Manzo-Laurita clan

Caroline Manzo is the matriarch of the Manzo-Laurita family, which consists of 11 siblings, including former RHONJ stars Dina Cantin (née Manzo) and Chris Laurita. Caroline and Dina’s maiden name is Laurita, and they have a brother named Anthony Laurita. Anthony was married to a woman named Cammy DiPetro, and they had a daughter named Candice Laurita. Candice is Caroline and Dina’s niece, and she has appeared on the show and on Caroline’s son Albie Manzo’s podcast, Dear Albie.

Danielle’s connection to this family comes from her father, Phillip DiPietro, who married Cammy DiPetro after she divorced Anthony Laurita. This makes Danielle the step-daughter of Cammy, the step-sister of Candice, and the step-niece of Caroline, Dina, and the rest of the Laurita siblings. Danielle also has a step-brother named Tony Laurita, who is the son of Cammy and Phillip.

Danielle’s relationship with the Manzos

Danielle revealed her relation to the Manzo family on the season 13 premiere of RHONJ, when she said that she met Teresa Giudice through her stepmom, who was married to Caroline’s brother. However, it is unclear how close Danielle is to the Manzo-Laurita clan, as she does not seem to post much about them on social media. She does follow Lauren Manzo, Caroline’s daughter, and Jacqueline Laurita, Caroline’s sister-in-law, on Instagram, but neither Caroline nor Dina follows her back.

Danielle may not have a strong bond with her step-family, as she is also seen as a bit of a clout chaser by some fans. She was previously featured on the MTV reality show, True Life: I’m a Staten Island Girl, when she was 21 years old. She also claimed that her connection to Teresa brought her on the show, not her step-family. It is possible that Danielle’s presence on RHONJ could stir up some drama with the Manzo-Laurita family, or even pave the way for Caroline’s return to the show in the future.
