Has one of Bravo’s longest running marriages come to an end?

Melissa and Joe Gorga have been married for over two decades.

Are they really getting a divorce, as reports are saying?

To be honest, it sounds like what Teresa Guidice has always wanted.

The Gorgas have been married since the end of summer 2004

In 2002, Melissa and Joe met by happenstance when they were guests of the same Cancun hotel at the same time.

Their relationship didn’t begin at once. It was only later, when they met up in a bar on the Jersey shore, that they began to date.

They hit things off, however.

In 2004, just two years after their first meeting, Melissa and Joe married on August 20.

This, of course, made Teresa Giudice Melissa’s sister-in-law. (Tre had married Joe Giudice in 1999)

It’s not that everything has been smooth sailing since then.

But Melissa and Joe did go on to welcome three children together.

In 2005, Melissa gave birth to their daughter, Antonia.

They would go on to welcome Gino in 2007 and then Joey in 2010.

And, of course, both Gorgas would appear on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Did Joe cheat on her? Did she cheat on HIM?

Teresa Giudice brought up claims that Melissa had cheated on Joe during The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 5.

Melissa denied it. Nothing came of it.

(Teresa does not always come up with masterful schemes … she does make a lot of noise, however, which can be almost as bad)

Fast-forwarding to Season 11, and Teresa was still spinning rumors about Melissa cheating.

This time, her silly and unproven claim was that a restaurant owner was exchanging flirty texts with Melissa.

A very expressive Joe Gorga admits to the camera that he did not want to embarrass his sister, but will address the pizza conflict since she is talking about it. (Image Credit: Bravo)

Did the cheating allegations leave a mark on the Gorgas’ marriage?

Yes and no.

Melissa has spoken openly about difficulties that arose in their marriage, even admitting to some struggles.

It wasn’t about alleged cheating. Rather, she added, it was about people changing over time.

Melissa was 24 when she and Joe got together. Over two decades later, they’ve both grown as people. That means adjusting — if you’re going to stay together.
