Danielle Staub Has Some Exciting News!

She might not be on the show anymore, but Real Housewives of New Jersey fans will never forget Danielle Staub. And now, the former reality TV star has some very exciting news. Danielle Staub is engaged to Joe Masalta, who is reportedly a Navy SEAL Special Warfare and Intelligence expert. According to Us Weekly, the woman who made Teresa Giudice flip a table recently changed her Facebook status from "single" to "engaged" and gave the following statement confirming that she is, indeed, planning to tie the knot:

I am overwhelmed and incredibly grateful for the outpouring of well wishes and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Joseph has helped me recognize the important things in life. As I embark on this new journey in the spirit of love and forgiveness, I'd like to apologize for mistakes I've made in the past. I feel like a big weight has been lifted off of my shoulders, and I am finally happy.

In addition to giving a statement, the mother of two has also been retweeting messages of congratulations from fans.

Staub's words about the engagement make quite the statement! Not only does it sound like Staub is totally in love, it sounds like the engagement truly represents a new chapter in her life — and not just in a romantic sense. Does the move to turn over a new leaf mean that she'll show off her "new journey" by rejoining Real Housewives of New Jersey ? Fans can only hope!
