Real Housewives of New Jersey star Margaret Josephs has announced some major baby news.
The reality television personality took to her Instagram account on November 13 to share that her stepson, Bret Josephs, the son of her late ex-husband, Jan Josephs, and his wife, Rachel Josephs, has welcomed a child. The Instagram post featured a picture of Josephs, who divorced Jan Josephs in 2013 after 19 years of marriage, holding the baby while sitting next to her second husband,
“Our hearts are full ! Welcome baby Jack Matthew Josephs! Mommy Rachel and Daddy Bret are over the moon and we are just in love,” read the caption of the post.
Several RHONJ stars flocked to Josephs’ comments section to shower her with congratulations.
“She’s a glam ma!! Congratulations!!!!!!” wroteMelissa Gorga.
“Hes beautiful,” addedDolores Catania.
“So exciting !!! Congratulations!!” shared Rachel Fuda
.
“Oh my goodness! What a peanut!” commentedDanielle Cabral.
Josephs shared clips from Rachel’s baby shower in September 2025 on Instagram. The video showed Rachel surrounded by friends and family.
“Ray of sunshine coming soon Baby Josephs on the way,” read the caption of the September 6 Instagram post.
Josephs joined the RHONJ cast during its 8th season, which premiered in 2017. In a July 2025 interview on the BILFPod, Josephs explained that she had appeared as a lifestyle expert on different talk shows because of the success of her lifestyle brand, Macbeth Collection, before starring in RHONJ. According to Josephs, she was approached by Bravo to star in RHONJ Season 6. She said, however, that she had declined the offer because she was in the process of creating her own show titled Pigtails and Powertools.
Josephs clarified that the show never made it to fruition. In addition, she said her business took a downturn because of lawsuits. For these reasons, Josephs accepted when Bravo gave her another offer to join RHONJ for Season 8.
“They came back to me and they were like, ‘Are you ready to do it now?’ So, I didn’t have to go through this lengthy process of interviewing,” said the 58-year-old in the interview.
Earlier this year, Todd Chrisley received a pardon from the President. However, Patricia Altschul is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this Southern Charm star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a “felon” like Todd.
Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming. Their tiny tit for tat started after Todd’s release from prison. “During the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it’s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,” Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, “Well, there goes the neighborhood.”
Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.
So, recently clapping back via Decider, Pat quipped, “He’s very irrelevant. I said four words—there goes the neighborhood — and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.” Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, “We just don’t need any more felons in Charleston.”
Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.
And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward her in Charleston.
Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.
