‘RHONJ’ Star Caroline Manzo Shares Health Struggles That Led To Weight Gain
Caroline Manzo has been keeping a low profile in New Jersey since she wrapped up the previous season of Manzo’d With Children, but Caroline has been filming the new season of the show. The show returns on September 11 at 9/8 central, and it sounds like Manzo hasn’t really been doing too much while filming. Apparently, she suffered a foot injury that had her on crutches for a while. Her Instagram pictures don’t really show too much activity on her end other than photos of her foot. It sounds like it was quite the injury, but she’s ready to take charge of her life again.
According to a new Bravo report, Caroline Manzo is now revealing that the foot injury did more than just hurt her foot. In fact, Manzo opened up on her Instagram about how she had gained a tremendous amount of weight during her injury — upwards of 30 pounds. Now that she can use her foot again, Manzo is ready to work out and she’s working with her son’s personal trainer, who helped Albie Manzo get completely shredded.
“I’ve gained nearly 30 pounds In the last 6 months due to my foot injury. Foot is almost healed, and now I have to take care of me,” Caroline Manzo revealed on Instagram, sharing that she had gained a tremendous amount of weight but was ready to get it off, adding, “This is the guy that’s going to make it happen — I’m on day #2 with the help of Rodrick Covington. As Rodrick says ‘it’s the first day of the rest of your life’. I’m all in, let the journey begin.”
Over the past couple of days, fans have noticed how Albie’s body has completely changed. For a while, he wasn’t taking care of his body and when he was heartbroken during his short relationship with a girl, he let himself go a bit. But it sounds like this spring he wanted to take charge of his health and he’s completely ripped now. As it turns out, he used the same trainer that is now helping Caroline Manzo get in shape. He opened up about his own happiness on Instagram, revealing that he’s super thrilled with the progress he’s made both with his health and his growth as a person.
“I can not put into words how appreciative I am that Rodrick Covington and the Core Rhythm Fitness team have been a part of my life. I put up a pic a while back of a letter I wrote to myself. It was a conversation w Rodrick that made me write that letter and brought me to realize that the only way to truly get what you want in this world is to take responsibility for yourself and put the work in,” Albie has revealed about his own fitness journey, according to Bravo, adding, “The guy on the left was who I saw in the mirror that day, the guy on the right was who was pushing the pen. I am delighted to say they are two very different people.”
The new season may show Caroline Manzo‘s injury and what she had to deal with, but according to Us Weekly, Manzo was also dealing with some other health concerns. In the trailer for the new season, she reveals that she’s experienced some pain in her chest and she finds a lump in her breast. Carole reveals that she’s strong when she has to fight for someone else, but she’s emotional. It will be interesting to see how this develops on the new season.
