While she was held back in school, they were in the same grade and people used to call them twins. Though they changed schools, they spent many years together in different classes at the same school.
They are still very close to each other as she shares photos with him every so often on her social media.
She once shared a photo of them on Twitter together with the caption “The best brother in the world”.
Sister Felicia Damato
Jackie Goldschneider and sister Felicia Damato have a complicated relationship with each other.
Once in the show, she said that she reached out to her sister to form a relationship with her but that did not work out.
They didn’t even get along since their adulthood and never connected with each other as sisters.
Jackie revealed that she and her sister got together a couple of times during the summer during the Season 9 After Show. That, however, appeared to alter over time.
She also observed how difficult it is for her parents to never have all of their grandchildren together in one location and imagined that one day, her own children would not talk to one another.
Her Husband Evan Goldscheinder Is A Professor
Jackie Goldschneider and her husband Evan Goldschneider have been married happily for seventeen years.
He is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University McDonough School of Business where he is teaching a course on Hedge Fund Investing to MBA students.
Evan is also actively involved as a Managing Director atMWC Group according to his LinkedIn profile.
Once his wife Jackie Goldschneider debuted on The Real Housewives of New Jersey in 2018, he started to gain notoriety.
The American businessman first met Jackie in Manhattan in 2003, and after a period of dating, the couple exchanged vows in 2006. They are now parents to two beautiful kids.
But like any other married pair, they have experienced some difficult times, and Jackie has never shied away from speaking out about her issues in front of the camera.
The pair is still going strong and very much in love despite the ups and downs.
When Jackie’s fellow cast member Teresa Giudice accused Evan of having an affair on a season 11 episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey that aired in February 2021, the couple stood by one another and demonstrated their love for one another.
Before the season 12 debut, Jackie spoke candidly about the allegation to Us Weekly, saying, “That was a major learning curve for them but it just made them understand how strong their tie is and that it would take a lot more than this even in front of the whole world to drive us apart.”
She Is The Mother Of Four Children
Jackie is the mother of four children Jonas and Adin who are twins and Alexis and Husdon.
The birth of their fourth kid has been a turning point in Jackie and Evan’s lives.
Alexis and Hudson will graduate from fifth grade and enter middle school, but she still thinks of them as if they are just children.
She said in an interview that she is immensely pleased with her kids, especially as they face decisions on which high school to attend.
The reality tv star recently took Jonas and Adin out for desserts to commemorate their 14th birthdays.
Adin enjoyed a chocolate fudge brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, while Jona devoured a chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream.
While having her twins she had to go through an IVF procedure as her fans learned from RHONJ.
She also explained to Page Six that she “couldn’t have children naturally” because she wasn’t consuming enough calories to menstruate or ovulate.
During the first season of the Bravo series in 2018, she finally admitted that she didn’t conceive of them naturally.
According to Good Housekeeping, Jackie urged Evan to promise her they could try for another child if they learned they were carrying sons because she was initially desperate to have a daughter.
She felt complete after having two twins, but she always desired a daughter. She still wants a daughter but feels complete in her role as a mother.
