When the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars are asked what their favorite memory is from their time on “The Sopranos,” Jennifer’s name comes up repeatedly. She reveals that she and James had a “crazy relationship” and that she was always attracted to him because he was “the one that was never really there.” She also shares that her wedding was 24 years ago and that she and Jeffrey have a good relationship.
All the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars have a past, but Jennifer Fessler’s is juicier than most. During an April 18 episode, the new “friend” revealed that she used to be a talent agent and “met James Gandolfini before ‘The Sopranos'” during a cast trip to Ireland. Even more shocking, she told the housewives that she had sex with him multiple times. “I was obsessed. He actually took me to an S&M bar. It was crazy. We hung out, we drank, and we went back to his apartment and we f***ed,” she shared, amid several dropping jaws. In a later confessional, Jennifer added, “He was so the one that got away, but he was also the one who was never really there.”
Jennifer has since moved on with her husband, Jeffrey Fessler, whom she married in 1999. The two shared their 24th anniversary on April 10 and she shared a throwback wedding pic on Instagram. “Happy anniversary Superman! For 24 years you’ve been a glutton for punishment and I’m praying you never snap out of it. I love you,” she wrote. While Jennifer and Jeffrey seem to have a long, solid marriage, the way they met may raise even more eyebrows than her Gandolfini story.
