JENNIFER Aydin opens up about husband Bill’s two-year affair in a sneak preview for Tuesday’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey, according to Us Weekly.
She initially admitted her husband had been unfaithful in the series premiere.
Us Weekly obtained a preview for the episode, which featured Jennifer chatting with gal pals Dolores Catania and Teresa Giudice about Bill’s affair.
She confessed he had cheated during a blowup and a party at Teresa’s house in the episode prior.
Rumors had been swirling, with Jennifer’s costar and nemesis Margaret Josephs fanning the flames.
Jennifer told Dolores and Teresa of the affair: “This is nothing I haven’t spoken about with him.
“This happened ten years ago. I’m over it.”
While she claimed to be past it, she confessed that she was “heartbroken” by the news, revealing the horrific moment she received confirmation.
Jennifer recalled: “I was pregnant, we had just moved to Jersey … he was not around.
SORDID DETAILS
“He was working a lot. And he was really feeling himself.
“You know, he was making a lot of money.”
As for what clued her in that something might be amiss, Jennifer told Dolores and Teresa she notice some unusual charges on their credit card receipt.
That was just the tip of the iceberg, however.
Jennifer went on to reveal: “Then I saw a text message on his phone, and I confronted him with it.
“He admitted it.”
The Bravo star said she was “literally ten days” away from giving birth to son Christian, now 11, when Bill fessed up to his cheating ways.
“I’m nine-months pregnant, a stay-at-home mom, no income of my own,” she remembered.
Jennifer said she “got angry” and “threw things” at her husband, but ultimately they decided to focus on their family.
She gave birth the following day after their massive fight.
The RHONJ star went on: “Once the baby came and we were having our moments [with him], I was like, ‘I want to make it work if he wants to make it work.'”
Jennifer told her costars she and bill “never f**king spoke about” the affair after that point.
PARTY FOUL
This season of RHONJ kicked off with a pool party at Teresa’s.
The party kicked off with whispers about the cookbook author’s fiancé Luis Ruelas and quickly turned another direction as Jennifer attempted to make amends with costars Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret.
Jennifer and Margaret’s conversation quickly went south, however, and Margaret dropped a major bombshell.
She accused Jennifer of being dishonest, saying: “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 calm things down, Margaret said: “Her marriage isn’t as perfect as she says it is.
“Bull had the affair with the office manager for two years.”
Jennifer jumped in, saying: “She’s not an office manager, she was a pharmaceutical rep, you f**k.
“If you could get the facts straight.”
Rumors has been swirling about the kick off prior to the premiere, with DeuxMoi sharing a blind item alleging that Margaret would expose a major secret about Jennifer, causing an even larger rift between them.
The post
read: “A certain Jersey housewife who became famous for wearing pigtails but now mostly wears wigs and fake extensions, got doused with a glass of rosé over the weekend when she took things too far with another wife [whom] she is trying to ice out of the group.
“She’s more upset, though, that her friend who she brought onto the show is siding against her and didn’t have her back when she got soaked.”
Another DeuxMoi blind read:
It read: “I got some tea to spill straight out of New Jersey.
“This [housewives’s] husband from NJ had an affair 10 years ago (not Jackie) and Marge found out and told everyone at [Teresa’s] party.
“Wife is super p****d because only they knew about it and had already worked past their issues, and now she has to tell her kids abut it.”
KEEPING SECRETS
Ahead of the premiere, Jennifer spoke with Us about the drama in her marriage.
She told the magazine she and Bill kept his cheating a secret for “the greater good” of their family.
Jennifer told the magazine: “I thought nobody would ever find out. … I never told anybody.
“Nobody knew – [not] my mother, my sister, my best friend, my cousin.
“Like, when I say I was taking it to the grave, I kept that secret inside.”
She added that putting on a front for his kids’ sake helped her reconcile with Bill.
Jennifer said: “Because I wasn’t nasty towards him and we were playing the role of this happy family life – and of course, he was so remorseful and, you know, always petting me, trying to kiss [and] care [for] me – after a while I was just like, ‘you know what? Let’s just pretend this never happened.’
“And that’s what I did.”
Bill and Jennifer met in 2001 and married a year later. They share five children: Justin, 17, Gabriella, 14, Jacob, 12, Christian 10, Olivia, nine.
