Caroline Manzo, star of the Bravo reality hit The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is the epitome of a strong New Jersey woman. Always putting family first, she is a devoted wife and mother of three children, Albie, Lauren, and Christopher. Caroline has been married for more than twenty-eight years to her husband, Albert, who runs The Brownstone, a successful catering facility in Paterson, New Jersey. The business has been with the family for more than thirty years and is one of the premiere event spaces in the state. Caroline is affiliated with several charities, including SCTNow, a foundation dedicated to stopping child trafficking within U.S. borders, CROC, a foundation for helping cancer survivors, Best Friends Animal Society, and Wounded Warrior Project. Often described as a feisty spitfire, Caroline manages to have it all—family, friends, and a career. In her opinion, all of this is what makes her a "Real Housewife" of New Jersey.
