Manzo tweeted the following three messages:

My secret...I have been separated since October, my heart hurts but Tommy & I will always share a very special love.

So grateful for the support of my loved ones during this time, especially my spiritual friends. You know who u are xoxo

And of course my biggest supporter Lexi, Tommy adores her & they will remain close.

Dina Manzo has been married to Tommy Manzo, co-owner of the event and catering facility The Brownstone, since 2005. Manzo is her second husband.

Her previous marriage was to George Hadjiapostoli (co-owner of Nisha nail salon in Wayne, New Jersey). Dina has a daughter, Alexia ("Lexi", born on January 25, 1996), from her first marriage.

Tommy's brother and business partner, Albert Manzo, is the husband of Dina's older sister and former cast mate, Caroline, making the two also sisters-in-law. Their wedding was featured on the VH1 television show "My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding."
