TV

'RHONJ' fans recently learned that Danielle Cabral is estranged from her younger brother. But have they worked on their relationship since?

Published on February 23, 2023

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 is well underway, and fans are slowly getting to know new cast member, Danielle Cabral. Thus far, fans have learned that Cabral is an entrepreneur and is the owner of the clothing line Boujie Kidz. She’s also a mom of two, a wife of 10 years, and a native to Staten Island. Still, many RHONJ fans are eager to learn more about the reality TV star’s family life. Thus far, fans have discovered that Cabral is estranged from her brother. But where does their relationship stand today?

Danielle Cabral has had a rocky relationship with her brother Tommy DiPietro

Cabral and her younger brother, Tommy DiPietro, grew up together in Staten Island. The RHONJ star has shared that the pair used to be very close but, unfortunately, had a falling out. This falling out occurred in the height of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic when DiPietro was planning his wedding to his long-time girlfriend, Gabrielle DiPietro. In the latest episode of RHONJ, Cabral revealed that she and her brother haven’t spoken in years.

What caused the estrangement between the siblings?

But what exactly went down between Cabral and her brother that led to them not speaking? There seems to have been a number of things that caused the siblings to cut off communication with one another. However, Cabral did mention that her brother’s wife had something to do with the rift. Considering Tommy shares a very young child with his Gabrielle, he might’ve felt like he had to pick a side.

Another cause for the tension seems to have started thanks to social media. In the latest episode of RHONJ, Cabral alleged that her brother made fun of her on Instagram. This seemed to cause a chain of events to unfold. After seeing that she was being made fun of, Cabral blocked her brother on the popular app. In retaliation, he uninvited her to his wedding, which took place in October of 2022.

Is Cabral working on mending her relationship with her brother?

But has there been any change in the relationship between the siblings. Thus far, Cabral has not shown any signs of publicly mending her relationship with her little brother. However, the rift certainly seems to make the reality TV star feel emotional. In a preview for an upcoming episode of RHONJ, Cabral seems to lament the fact that her brother is not in attendance for the party she planned for her 7-year-old daughter, Valentina. When addressing the fact that her brother has split off from her family Cabral called it: “The worst thing that could ever happen.”

It seems as if Tommy isn’t exactly happy with the way things stand either. Though he’s not in communication with Cabral, he does maintain a relationship with their father. According to Cabral’s dad, all Tommy wants is his family together. If both siblings aren’t happy with the way things are currently, perhaps there’s hope for reconciliation after all. Of course, it’s quite possible that the brother-sister pair are already working on their relationship privately. Only time will tell if Cabral’s brother ever makes an appearance on RHONJ.
