(Newser) – Two of the stars of Bravo’s reality show Real Housewives of New Jersey are married to mafia kids, the National Enquirer reports. Dina and Caroline Manzo each wed a son of Alberto “Tiny” Manzo, who was executed in August on suspicion of stealing from a mafia casino. Tiny’s sons—along with Dina and Caroline—now run his legit restaurant and catering business in Paterson.

Caroline Manzo, one of the stars of Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey, is married to a man whose father was in the mafia.

That was in the past, the children do not suffer for the parents. They were young kids and knew nothing about it. Leave them alone, they have their own lives to live, do not condem them for their parents. They have a great business going and its on the up and up. They are not mafia.

Not shocking. Anyone who watches knows the one wife, Caroline, is ALWAYS talking like she is in an episode of the Sopranos. She tries HARD to come across like "I'm mafia, don't mess with me". In fact it was so obvious, my daughter and I both referred to her as "the one that thinks she's in the mafia" before we knew their names. Someone should tell her being that obvious would have probably gotten her killed in the days of the real mafia.
