Following her divorce from Tommy Manzo, former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dina Manzo left the east coast and moved to California with her businessman boyfriend David Cantin. During a recent interview, the former Bravo reality star is opening up about her new younger beau.
“I am with someone new and it’s really great,” Dina told Page Six. “I was getting a divorce and I was like, ‘I’m never doing this again. … I was fine just never falling in love again and, you know, I guess some things happen when you’re not really looking for it.”
Manzo, 44, and Cantin, 36, were both going through divorces when they met through her charity, Project Ladybug.
“We’re both really passionate about helping children with cancer,” she said. “So that’s really nice that we know there’s a bigger reason for us meeting than just, you know, getting along and being attracted to each other.”
In February 2013 Dina her husband, Tommy separated and in April 2016, the two finalized their divorce.
After the split, Manzo fled to Malibu, California, where she began her new life.
“I came out here initially just for a mental break and to get away from it all,” Dina said. “It’s easier to deal with things from 3,000 miles away and once I got here, I was like, ‘I love it here. I don’t really want to go back.'”
Dina reveals it's unconformable to run into her ex husband during family functions, since her older sister Caroline is still married to Tommy's brother, Albert.
“I’m not going to lie. It does get a little uncomfortable,” she said. “It’s a very rough situation, but we’re all grown-ups and everyone just has to, you know, do the right thing for other family members involved.”
