The couple gave Bravo viewers a full look inside the businessman’s abode during an April 2023 episode of RHONJ. Dolores arranged a meeting at her boyfriend’s house with Jennifer Aydin, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral, Jennifer Fessler, Melissa Gorga and Jackie Goldschneiderand his castmates were wowed by the home’s decor, architecture, and views.
While Jennifer called Paul’s abode “beautiful” and a “beautiful place,” Rachel called it “amazing” and quipped, “I feel so rich in this house.” However, Jennifer F. really said it all.
“Where am I? The Taj Mahal? Wow,” said the founder of shoe brand F Major, before joking with Dolores: “If Paulie looked twice at me, I’d throw your butt off. I’d be like, ‘Dolores, what? who?'”
During her separate interview on the show, Jennifer explained that while she was “trying not to be jealous of Dolores,” she was still intrigued by Paul’s house. “Fifty Shades of Grey” vibe.
“I’m getting desperate to find the red room,” he added.

Although Dolores’ man is clearly living the high life, the couple doesn’t base their romance on materialism. In February 2023, the business owner described Paul during an exclusive interview with Lifestylestressing that he is “such a special man.”
“In addition to his handsome good looks, Paul has a heart of gold and a truly intelligent and witty manner,” Bravolebrity explained. “Since the beginning of our relationship, he has had such a direct role in my life, always looking out for me and my family’s best interests, no matter how busy he may be with his efforts.
