RHONJ’s Melissa Gorga Opens Up About How Husband Joe Transformed After Their Wife Swap Experience trucc
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga is thriving in both her personal life and business ventures. Plus, she took part in the genius that is Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition. Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, were the perfect RHONJ couple to participate.
Meanwhile, as peace with her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice, seems to be a real possibility, fans are left hanging as to who will be part of RHONJ Season 15. One thing is for certain as far as moving forward with Teresa: Melissa wants a private reconciliation. No cameras allowed, which is probably for the best,
Joe Gorga is more hands-on after Melissa Gorga took part in Wife Swap: Real Housewives Edition
Melissa enjoyed swapping lives with Michelle Clark in Georgia. While Melissa craves order and cleanliness, the Clark family has a more laid-back vibe. Plus, Michelle and her husband work together as a team at home and at work. Meanwhile, Melissa and Joe enjoy working at their separate businesses.
When Melissa saw how hands-on Michelle’s husband, Sean Clark, is at home, she challenged Joe’s work ethic. “I went home, and I was like, ‘Joe, what do you do? You go to work,'” Melissa told DECIDER. “‘I’m gonna need you to do more.’” Step it up, Joe!
She added, “He’s been washing the dishes. That’s an update. So yeah, he washes dishes now.” And while Sean changes his children’s diapers, Joe changed his son Gino Gorga’s diaper on one occasion. It didn’t turn out well. “He puts the dog’s diaper on backwards if that’s even possible,” Melissa stated. “He could barely put the dog’s diaper on. So there’s that.”
Of course, Melissa noted that Joe embraced his new double-dutch lifestyle and the freedom to wear whatever he wanted. “He just likes to be free because I’m obviously going to be like, ‘Pull your pants down, straighten your hat,’” Melissa said.
Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition airs on Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
Bakhram Murtazaliev vs Josh Kelly set for January trucc
IBF WORLD super-welterweight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev and mandatory challenger Josh Kelly have reportedly reached a deal to lock horns in January.
According to boxing journalist Dan Rafael, their showdown, which was expected to land at a purse bid hearing later today, will be promoted by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing.
While a location and venue is yet to be revealed, Rafael has added that England is the likely destination, with Kelly, 17-1-1 (9 KOs), earning himself a home advantage against the formidable Russian.
The pair have been in negotiations for quite some time, as it was back in August that the IBF ordered reigning champion Murtazaliev, 23-0 (17 KOs), to defend his title against the Sunderland man.
That much became clear shortly after Kelly replaced Erickson Lubin, who will instead face Vergil Ortiz Jr on November 8, as the sanctioning body’s leading contender at 154lbs.
Since then, a dawn-out spell of negotiations involving Kathy Duva, Murtazaliev’s promoter, and Kalle and Nisse Sauerland of Wasserman Boxing has prolonged the time it should have taken to get both fighters in the ring.
As a result, Murtazaliev has not fought since his third-round demolition job of Tim Tszyu in October 2024, while Kelly has banked just one fight – a one-round blowout in June – following his majority decision victory over Ishmael Davis last year.
Yet now, it would appear that, with the involvement of Hearn’s promotional outfit, both parties have finally put pen to paper and are gearing up for an intriguing showdown early next year.
As we await an official announcement from Matchroom, it would seem that, judging by Rafeal’s social media post earlier today, a site deal is only just being finalised.
On X, Rafael wrote: “Per source, on Monday night [a] deal was made for [the] fight between IBF 154[lbs] titlist Bakhram Murtazaliev & mandatory challenger Josh Kelly & Tuesday’s purse bid [was] cancelled.
“[Their] fight [is] supposed to be [on] Jan. 31 at [a] site TBA in England. Matchroom Boxing will promote the fight.”
Rafael then added that the fight could potentially take place on January 24, with terms of the deal indicating that it should be staged on or before January 31.
