\u201cHappy Anniversary to my amazing beautiful wife! I love spending time with you. 21 years went by so quick \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u201d Joe wrote in the caption of his own Instagram post dedicated to their anniversary.<\/p>\n
The couple recently went to St. Barths together, where an unexpected\u00a0Bravo crossover occurred.<\/p>\n
Joe posted\u00a0an Instagram photo\u00a0of himself posing on the beach alongside\u00a0\u201cMillion Dollar Listing New York\u201d\u00a0agent\u00a0Steve Gold.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy Man!\u201d Joe captioned the photo.<\/p>\n
Steve, who was vacationing with his wife,\u00a0Luiza Gawlowska, shared a photo of the Gorgas and their crew sitting on a dinghy.<\/p>\n
\u201cOld school Bravo fam,\u201d the realtor wrote in an Instagram story, which Melissa and Joe shared on their respective accounts.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlways by my side,\u201d Melissa wrote in the caption of her post.<\/p>\n
\u201cI met him as a 24-year-old girl, and to think, you know, this many years later we\u2019re still together,\u201d Melissa said in\u00a0an interview with Bravo\u2019s The Daily Dish. \u201cI wake up every morning, [and] I\u2019m like, \u2018You\u2019re still here. Here you are.\u2019 No, honestly, we\u2019re friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Melissa acknowledged that her marriage to Joe was far from perfect, but the pair have always managed to overcome their conflicts as a team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do enjoy going to dinner with Joe,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re both fun people, so it works. And our lives are similar and, you know, we balance each other out in such a way where he lets me be the boss where I need to be, and I let him be the boss where he needs to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Melissa also said that her and Joe have maintained a healthy banter in their relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanna kill him sometimes, but we\u2019re attracted to each other and we\u2019re both fun people,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt\u2019s like if you can\u2019t have fun with us, you can\u2019t have fun with anybody because we\u2019re lifers. We love life. We enjoy life. We don\u2019t like the negative. We really don\u2019t. It\u2019s hard for us to do negative. It\u2019s always been my struggle on the show (<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s never easy, a marriage,\u201d Melissa continued. \u201cWe definitely have our ups and downs\u2026We struggle, we fight, we battle. We\u2019re both very strong-minded people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Joe and I have an argument, we have an argument, but I\u2019d be the first one to move on with my level head, and he\u2019ll hold that grudge for, like, five more days,\u201d she said. \u201cYou got five [days]. I start counting down the days until he\u2019s gonna let it go.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year,\u00a0Todd Chrisley<\/strong>\u00a0received a pardon from the President. However,\u00a0Patricia Altschul<\/strong>\u00a0is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this\u00a0Southern Charm\u00a0star 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 \u201cfelon\u201d like Todd.<\/p>\n Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming.\u00a0Their tiny tit for tat\u00a0started after Todd\u2019s release from prison. \u201cDuring the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it\u2019s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,\u201d Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, \u201cWell, there goes the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n So, recently clapping back via\u00a0Decider, Pat quipped, \u201cHe\u2019s very irrelevant. I said four words\u2014there goes the neighborhood \u2014 and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.\u201d Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, \u201cWe just don\u2019t need any more\u00a0felons in Charleston.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd and his wife,\u00a0Julie 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,\u00a0The Chrisleys: Back to Reality\u00a0stars 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.<\/p>\n And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward\u00a0her in Charleston.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Real Housewives of New Jersey\u201d star\u00a0Melissa Gorga\u00a0opened up about her relationship with\u00a0Joe Gorga and how they have maintained their marriage of 21 years.
