Jacqueline Laurita’s Orange County home is the epitome of luxury living.
Since moving to the West Coast in 2023, The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum has provided several looks at the property’s next-level interior. We’ve seen everything from a grand staircase and sleek built-in shelving to stunning arch doorways and checkered marble floors. But as recently proven on Instagram, the home's beauty isn’t just limited to the inside.
On Wednesday, August 6, Jacqueline took to social media to share a peek at her relaxing backyard pool day. The mom of three — who shares the OC house with her husband, Chris Laurita — began by posting an adorable video in which she and her furry “sidekick" were seen soaking up the California sun.
Jacqueline Laurita shows off her incredible backyard pool
The short clip showed a bikini-clad Jacqueline lounging poolside while her family pug, Diesel, cuddled up next to her. The following Story captured the Jersey native lying on a turtle-shaped pool inflatable while the dog ran alongside the pool in an attempt to join her.
“Why do you always get so jealous when I’m on here?” Jacqueline said in the video. “You don’t have to come with me every time. Really? This dog is constantly on me, 24/7. Diesel. He loves it… This is what I have in my face. Like, he has to be right up in my face. I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.”
As seen in the Stories, Jacqueline’s backyard pool featured light-gray coping with matching corner steps and an attached soaking pool surrounded by palm trees and lush greenery. Fans also got a glimpse at the Lauritas' poolside dining/kitchen area as well as their outdoor living space with a mounted TV and fireplace.
Jacqueline Laurita reflects on her new life in Orange County
Jacqueline said goodbye to the Garden State in 2019 and headed to Nevada for Chris’ job. The couple and their two sons, Christopher “CJ” Laurita and Nicholas Laurita, packed their bags roughly four years later and relocated to the OC. Jacqueline reflected on her new chapter in an August 1 Instagram post, saying she was enjoying her time in California and even reconnected with some fellow Bravolebs.
“I’ve met some really sweet people here in Orange County so far!” she captioned the post, which included snaps of The Real Housewives of Orange County alums Gretchen Rossi, Lynne Curtin, and Peggy Taneous. “I haven’t taken pictures with everyone I’ve hung out with because sometimes I’m just too busy enjoying the moment that I forget to take pictures, but here’s a few moments I have that I thought I’d share.”
