Good news for those who can't seem to get enough of the Housewives of NJ. According to the NY Daily News Caroline Manzo is currently taping a spin off pilot of Bravo Media's Housewives franchise to be titled MANZO'D WITH CHILDREN.

The show will center on the the 52-year-old "RHNJ" cast member as the "ringleader of the crazy circus that is her Italian family." Viewers will also be able to keep up with the lives of Manzo children Albie, 27, Chris, 24, and Lauren, 25, as well as their animal-loving aunt Fran from their mother's side.

The official Bravo show description reads: "Her adult children are driving her more nuts than ever," Bravo's show description indicates. "Albie is single and ready to mingle, Chris is eager to come up with the best idea since the stripper/car wash, and Lauren is ready to entertain the idea of letting Vito put a ring on it.

"With the addition of kooky Aunt Fran and her revolving door of barnyard buddies, it's one crowded house filled with personality, laughter and ham ... in both pig and honey-baked forms."

About Caroline Manz


Caroline Manzo is the epitome of a strong New Jersey woman. Always putting family first, she is a devoted wife and mother of three children, Albie, 27; Lauren, 25; and Christopher, 24. Caroline has been married for more than 29 years to her husband Albert who runs The Brownstone, a very successful catering facility in Paterson, NJ. The business has been with the family for over 30 years and is one of the premiere event spaces in the state. Although Caroline spends the majority of her time managing the household, her family has been known to run her ragged as she supports BLK Water, Brownstone Sauce, and Cafface Beauty Bar. Caroline also has a new Podcast on iTunes, "Let Me Tell You Something," which is a Manzo family roundtable each week. Caroline is affiliated with several charities including SCTNOW, a foundation dedicated to stopping child trafficking within our own borders, CROC, a foundation dedicated to helping cancer survivors, Best Friends Animal Society, Wounded Warriors Project, and The PG Chambers School, a NJ facility dedicated to educating children with physical and mental disabilities. Often described as a feisty spitfire, Caroline manages to have it all -- family, friends and a career. In her opinion, that is what makes her a "Real Housewife" of New Jersey.
