Danielle Staub‘s ex-husband Marty Caffrey is sharing his thoughts about the Real Housewives of New Jersey star getting engaged just one week after they finalized their divorce.
“Even knowing Danielle, it’s a little surprising,” he told PEOPLE.
Caffrey says he knew Staub was seeing other people but did not hear the news of the engagement directly from her.
“If Danielle is happy, then I’m very happy for her,” he says. “I wished her the best when I divorced her, and I meant it. Danielle and I have both been dating [other people] for a while. I’ll take my time, though.”
“I’m not surprised she met someone, but I’m surprised that she got engaged so fast,” he adds. “It begs a lot of questions. Why did it need to be so fast?”
Caffrey and Staub finalized their divorce on Feb. 21, just 10 months after they tied the knot in a lavish Bahamas beach ceremony in May, which was featured on the Bravo hit reality series.
However, it's been reported that Staub’s whirlwind romance with Maier has come to an end. The Bravo reality star and the businessman have called it quits after postponing their wedding, multiple sources told Us Weekly.
Another source reveals to the publication that the former couple went shopping for an engagement ring over the weekend, but Maier ultimately did not purchase one for Staub — even though she showed it off online.
