Surprise! Dina Manzo Reveals She's Been Secretly Engaged to Boyfriend David Cantin
The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum has been ready to tie the knot for quite some time.
Dina Manzo is making things official with her longtime boyfriend David Cantin. The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum revealed that the couple is engaged to be married.
Dina confirmed the happy news during an interview on Radio Andy's Jeff Lewis Live on Wednesday. “We’ve always been engaged,” she said, according to PEOPLE. “We got engaged once, early in our relationship, and then we both realized it was way too early. And then we got engaged again last year.”
Dina has kept details of her relationship pretty private over the years. So it's no surprise that she told Jeff Lewis that the nuptials will be "small" and joked, "You'll learn about it after."
But she seemed more than willing to share that she and David have been living in absolute bliss over the course of their three years together so far. “Our life is a honeymoon,” she said. “We don’t do a lot of traveling, but we are definitely in the honeymoon phase.”
During the show, Jeff also pointed out that Dina and David, who was also in the studio, were both wearing "really nice rings," which made him wonder if the couple had already tied the knot. “It’s so cute how you guys wear those little commitment rings. That ring looks nice on you guys. On your wedding finger,” he said.
Dina neither confirmed nor denied Jeff's observation, simply responding, “We are committed.”
Dina and David have also unfortunately experienced some harrowing moments together. The couple was victim to a violent home invasion in their Holmdel, New Jersey home in May 2017. Since then, Dina and David moved permanently to the West Coast, now calling Newport Beach home.
This will be the third marriage for Dina, who finalized her divorce from her second husband, Tommy Manzo, back in 2016 after seven years of marriage. She has a 22-year-old daughter, Lexi Ioannou, from her first marriage. David and his ex-wife, Melissa, separated in 2014 and divorced the following year, according to PEOPLE. They have two children, who live with their mom on the East Coast.
