RHONJ: What Happened To Ashlee Holmes Malleo After Season 7
Fans want to know more about The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Jacqueline Laurita's daughter Ashlee Holmes, as she made quite an impression while she was on the series. She was on the show for seasons 1 through 5 and reappeared in season 7. The 31-year-old began her stint on television as a rebellious teen. These days, the RHONJ daughter is a mother, makeup artist, and podcast host.
When Ashlee first appeared on RHONJ, she was struggling in school and sneaking out of the house. Jacqueline's daughter attended summer school, and her husband Chris Laurita bought Ashlee a new car to present to her if she earned good grades. In season 2, Ashlee was taken to court for pulling Danielle Staub's hair extensions at a Posche Fashion Show. Ashlee, who was 19 years old at the time, was found guilty of simple assault. While most of the charges were dropped, she still had to pay a fine of $189, including $33 in court fees.
Fortunately, Ashlee has come a long way since her reckless phase. Jacqueline kicked her daughter out of the house in season 4 for acting out against her parents. After being asked to leave her childhood home, Ashlee moved to California and got a job in the entertainment industry at SpinMedia Group. She received her cosmetology license in 2014, at Make-up Designory, and worked for well-known cosmetic companies like Sephora, Stila, and Bobbi Brown.
During RHONJ season 7 in 2016, Ashlee got engaged to Pete Malleo. Later that year, on August 30, the couple welcomed their son, Cameron Hendrix Malleo. Due to Ashlee's pregnancy, they decided to hold off on wedding plans. Two years after their engagement, Ashlee and Pete wed at the NYC City Clerk's Office in 2018. They filed for separation in June 2020, after just two years of marriage. While they reconciled for a time, the two officially filed for divorce in November 2021, after speculation that Pete was cheating on his wife.
Single mom Ashlee lives in New Jersey with her 5-year-old son, Cameron. Ashlee shares discount codes for clothing, jewelry, and makeup on her Instagram page. The photos and videos on RHONJ's Ashlee's account give fans a glimpse into her everyday life with her son. Ashlee will never forget her RHONJ roots. The mom of one shared a recent video post in honor of the show's season 12 premiere last week. Ashlee's video showed the current taglines with text written over it that said, "What would your Real Housewives tagline be?" Let's hear it." She then used a hilarious caption that RHONJ fans would enjoy: "Mine would probably be something along the lines of 'You know what they say… save the drama for your Mama' #rhonj." See the clip below:
It is refreshing for everyone to see how much RHONJ's Jacqueline's daughter Ashlee has changed since her days on the show. She is a hands-on single mom to her young son. Ashlee also co-hosts a podcast called Your Mom Friends with Karen James. The former RHONJ star is always open and honest with her followers on social media, despite her rough past. Bravo fans are happy to see that she's doing well, and they miss seeing her on their TV screens.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
