Lauren Manzo’s estranged husband, Vito Scalia, has moved on with Dominique Valenti.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum’s ex –– who filed for divorce from Manzo in September 2023 –– has been dating Valenti for at least five months, according to the Daily Mail.
Valenti began posting photos of Scalia in August 2023, but it’s unclear if they were romantically involved at the time.
They were officially together by Valentine’s Day when Valenti posted a video montage showing them kissing, dancing, traveling and going to events together.
“Happy Valentine’s Day to the most amazing man that I know! Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep! Thank you every day over and over for coming into my life and making my soul come alive,” she captioned the video.
“I knew you existed on this planet and you are everything a woman could ask for… my complete package. Thank you god for you and for the family you come from! It’s all and everything I could’ve ever asked for 🥰✨”
One month later, Valenti celebrated his birthday and sweetly posted a selfie of the two of them in the kitchen.
“Happy Birthday to the most amazing gift I ever received! You’re simply the best and there is no other way to put it! Anyone that knows you loves you and if they don’t…….. definitely their loss ❤️Thank you for being my best friend!” she captioned the pic on March 20.
Most recently, Scalia and his 7-year-old daughter Marchesa, whom he shares with Manzo, attended Valenti’s daughter’s birthday party.
Valenti has worked as a field supervisor for Shell for nearly two decades, according to LinkedIn, but she has a true passion for health and wellness.
“Obsessed with Working Out and Vito😍 💪💪,” her Instagram bio reads.
Scalia filed for divorce from Manzo –– who rose to fame with her mom, Caroline Manzo, on the early seasons of “RHONJ” –– on Sept. 5, 2023, after eight years of marriage.
In the filing, he claimed that they had been struggling “for a period of at least six months which has caused the breakdown of their marriage,” and the marriage has “no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.”
Shortly after news of their separation broke, Manzo, 36, took to Instagram to address the split and assure her fans that they are “all good,” and they had “been done for a very long time.”
