JENNIFER Aydin has revealed her nine-year-old daughter Olivia found out about her dad’s affair in an ‘awful leaked video’ on TikTok.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 44, recently confirmed Bill, her husband of 20 years, had a lengthy affair with a co-worker.
Jennifer and plastic surgeon Bill, 43, were added to the cast of the Bravo reality show back in 2018.
They share five children together – Justin, 18, Gabby, 15, Jacob, 13, Christian, 11, and Olivia.
Jennifer told Page Six exactly how her youngest found out about her father’s infidelity and said: “We had a blogger leak this awful storyline and somebody made a TikTok on it.
“My sweet little Olivia – who threw a beautiful anniversary party for us to show how her parents are still in love – saw a TikTok that said ‘the big secret’.”
Jennifer added that Olivia went on to comment “This is my mommy and daddy and this is not true!” on the video.
But once Olivia shared the revelation with her mom, Jennifer was forced to correct her offspring.
“She came to me to show me her comment and said, ‘Look mommy, I’m defending you from all of these lies’,” Jennifer recalled.
Asking Olivia to delete her comment, Jennifer went on: “I said, ‘It’s for the show and it’s not good if we release things, so maybe we shouldn’t draw attention.’
“I had her take it down that way.
“I sat her down and I kept my composure because I realized [my kids] will react to however Mommy’s acting.
“I put on a brave face and said, ‘Listen, Daddy did a bad thing. But that doesn’t mean that he’s a bad person. And when we love people, we forgive them when they make mistakes. And I’ve forgiven him and I’m OK.’ She wasn’t upset because I wasn’t upset.”
Bill cheated on his wife with a pharmaceutical rep while she was pregnant with their fourth child, Christian, who is now 10.
Months earlier, Bravo released a trailer teasing trouble for Jennifer and her plastic surgeon husband. It was unclear at the time what their problems may be, but fans need not wonder any longer.
During the premiere, the RHONJ cast gathered for a pool party at Teresa’s home.
The party kicked off with whispers about her fiancé Luis Ruelas and quickly shifted as Jennifer attempted to clear the air with Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret Josephs.
Rather than make amends, Margaret dropped a major bombshell, accusing Jennifer of being dishonest: “You always say, ‘Bill’s the best.’ Listen, he had an affair, everyone knows and that’s why he left his old job.”
Turning to Teresa, who attempted to intervene, Margaret said: “Her marriage isn’t as perfect as she says it is.
“Bill had the affair with the office manager for two years.”
Jennifer interjected: “She’s not an office manager, she was a pharmaceutical rep, you f**k .
“If you could get the facts straight.”
