Caroline Manzo (née Laurita) (born August 23, 1961) is married to Albert Manzo, co-owner of The Brownstone, an event and catering facility in Paterson, New Jersey. The couple has three children: Albert "Albie" Manzo IV (born 1986), Lauren Michele Manzo (born 1988), and Christopher Thomas Manzo (born 1989).

She, along with most of her The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast mates, resides in the affluent town of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. Her most memorable line of the first season became a pop culture meme: "Let me tell you something about my family, we are as thick as thieves and we will protect each other until the end." She is known to use many sayings such as "thick as thieves" and "you hang out with trash and you start to smell like garbage".

The Real Housewives of New Jersey

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is a reality television program on the Bravo network, which originally followed the lives of five women in and around several upscale communities in northern New Jersey. It is the network's fourth installation of The Real Housewives series, following The Real Housewives of Orange County, The Real Housewives of New York City, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta. This series' second season reunion show was the highest-rated episode ever out of the entire franchise.

Caroline was very friendly with her sister Dina Manzo (who is married to Caroline's husband's brother), sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita (who is married to Caroline and Dina's brother Chris), and family friend Teresa Giudice in seasons one and two. However, Caroline continually vocalized her dislike for Danielle Staub in the first two seasons.

In season 4, Caroline is friendly with Jacqueline Laurita and Teresa's two relatives who had joined the principal cast: cousin Kathy Wakile and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga. However, because of Teresa's comments in her cookbook and magazine interviews, Caroline made it clear that she now dislikes Teresa Giudice. Additionally, Caroline, Teresa, and Dina mentioned on several occasions that season that Caroline had become estranged from her sister, former New Jersey Housewife, Dina Manzo.

Caroline discusses going through menopause and empty nest syndrome on the show.
