Melissa Gorga Teases Photo Of New ‘RHONJ’ Housewife?

Melissa Gorga may have just offered a hint at who will be included in the Real Housewives of New Jersey season 7 cast. Although the official lineup may not be revealed until later this year, Melissa Gorga shared an Instagram photo on June 28, which featured one of the rumored new cast members.

“Easy like Sunday should be @traciljohnson & our little girls;) #antonia #brooklyn,” Melissa Gorga captioned the photo, which included Tiki Barber’s wife, Traci Lynn Johnson, who has been linked to the show in recent months.

Melissa Gorga also shared a second photo with fans, which was captioned, “A little boat action @tiki_barber @traciljohnson #sundayfunday.”

Melissa Gorga, along with her husband Joe, the brother of Teresa Giudice, have starred on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since season 3, and are expected to return to the show for its upcoming seventh season. As for Johnson and Barber, their role on the show has yet to be confirmed.

As the Inquisitr previously reported, rumors first began swirling in regard to Johnson’s addition to the show in early March of this year. At the time, a source told E! News that Bravo was hoping to make the show more glamorous.

“Yes, the rumor is true. Traci is down the road with the production company. She and Tiki moved to NJ a few years ago. They are next door neighbors with Snooki.”

For the last couple of months, Melissa Gorga has grown close to both Johnson and Snooki, who she recently had lunch with in New Jersey.

“When producers approached Traci, they told her they were revamping the show. Their goal is to include more well-known names and make New Jersey look more glamorous, like the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

According to the report, Melissa Gorga and Johnson would likely be joined by at least one other new housewife. Although producers had reportedly met with two other women, including CC Sabathia’s wife, Amber, and Hala Kerik, wife of former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, both of the women reportedly turned the show down.

“It’s still early in the process. They’re meeting with a lot of women and trying to determine what ensemble will work best for the show…Although Traci isn’t officially locked down yet, it looks like it’s going to happen.”

Melissa Gorga hasn’t yet revealed whether or not she’ll return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey for season 7.
