A Real Housewives Star Was At Rumrunners In Cape Coral

It's not often that we see famous people in Cape Coral, maybe in Naples, but not usually here in Lee County. So, it was super exciting for patrons and employees at Rumrunners in Cape Coral when a Real Housewife of New Jersey walked in.

If you're a fan of Bravo and The Real Housewives franchises like I am, this is super fun news, even though I didn't get to see her for myself this go round. I did actually get to meet her a few years ago at a cosmetic expo B1039 hosted at the Ritz in Naples, so I'll pretend that makes up for it.

She is arguably one of the most famous Bravolebrities, a name given to reality stars of shows airing on the network, Bravo. She's been divorced on screen, she's been to jail on screen, she's been married on screen, and now she's been to Rumrunners in Cape Coral.

Teresa made a few posts from around Southwest Florida yesterday on her Instagram story. She visited Norman Love Confections, took a boat ride on the Caloosahatchee and made a stop at Rumrunners for a drink. Someone local must've told her that's one of the best local spots for a drink on a boat day.

For those that may not know, Teresa Giudice is an OG cast member from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She has been a member of the cast since the show began in 2009 on Bravo. Fans like me are gearing up for the season 14 premiere, which is actually just a few days away, on Sunday, May 5th. She's also made appearances on 'Dancing With The Stars' and 'Celebrity Apprentice', among others.

As the weather steadily gets warmer, the lure of the outdoors is diminished by highly-anticipated new titles coming to streaming in May. Plus, those of us with allergies are still suffering, so staying indoors some days to indulge in awesome works in television and film sounds like a nice reprieve.

As always, Netflix has new content coming in the month of May. As they recently revealed via a trailer, Will Forte will star in a new thriller series called Bodkin, out on May 9th. The series follows a ragtag crew of podcasters who set out to investigate mysterious disappearances from decades earlier in a charming Irish town with dark, dreadful secrets. Also, for drama lovers, season 3: part 1 of Bridgerton drops on May 16th.

Roasts are back, and on May 5th, Tom Brady is going to be roasted in a live event on the streamer. When Jeff Ross says they're coming for the "pretty boy," Brady confidently replies, "I'm unroastable. Let's go!"

Over on Hulu, season 5 of The Kardashians will premiere on May 23rd. Meanwhile, on Max (formerly HBO Max), the award-winning comedy series Hacks returns for season 3 on May 3rd after a two-year hiatus.

Another all-star cast is in the rom-com Mother of the Bride. Starring Brooke Shields, Benjamin Bratt, Miranda Cosgrove, and Chad Michael Murray.
