Now that she's divorced, Dina Manzo is back in the dating scene! Where's Patti Stanger when you need her?! But that's not the only change in her drastically shifting life!
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star started her reality TV career with her invisible husband Tommy. The couple separated while Dina was taking a 'I'll come back when you fire my relatives' hiatus. "Everything that I know is going away," Dina acknowledges, but she is ready to embrace the challenge.

"When I pictured myself 40-something, this was not what I was expecting," Dina admits in a preview for Us Weekly. "The last time I had to get naked in front of a guy, I was 28 years old…There's definitely anxiety around that." Wait… what exactly was happening in that marriage of hers?!
That's not the only change in Dina's life. She says she's "transformed so much" and has a real focus on spirituality. But she's also moving on in a different way. "For the past 18 years my priorities have been wife and mother first, so there's kind of like a shift in all of that." Dina's daughter Lexi (who will finally appear on the show) is now leaving home for college and Dina is adjusting to that. "It's the end of an era as a mom. Now I just have to worry about my f—ed-up pets," she laughs.
"I'm cool with it – I really am," Dina assures us. Well, OK!
