RHONJ’s Kim D on Love, Red Flags & Choosing the Right Man

Kim D (Kim DePaola) of The Real Housewives of New Jersey sits down with Get Obsessed to talk about growing up with fur coats, the Copacabana, and the stepfather she says worked for the Gambino family. She walks through the loves and lessons that shaped her, from her high school sweetheart to a 22-year-old's phone call she'll never forget, and why she fell for the man she calls the love of her life. Kim also shares her relationship advice, her Posche boutique story, why she's happily single today, and the memoir she co-wrote, My Life with the Big Boys.

If you or someone you know is struggling, the hosts close with an encouraging message about getting support. In the US, you can call or text 988.
