OMJ Open House with Kathy Wakile

OMJ.com had the delightful pleasure of spending the day with RHONJ star Kathy Wakile at her beautiful new Franklin Lakes home, that she custom built and designed from the ground up. Watch for your exclusive first look inside her beautiful Mediterranean-country style abode.

So proud of you Kathy! You worked hard for this house fair and square and earned it! Even though you've been demoted to a 'Friend of the housewives' but it's a blessing in disguise cause I hope you don't lose the good person you are and that fun and loving personality ❤️

Kathy is so lovely. Love her energy. Beautifully designed house!!

[@JOJO-ge5py]

One of the things I always loved about Rich and Kathy was that they always seemed smart with their finances. They had a beautiful home, but it wasnt over the top to where you had to wonder if anything went wrong financially that they would be out on their ear....... I havent heard anything lately about kathy's deserts, and I have to wonder where they got the cash to finance a lifestyle like this...... I hope that they arnt throwing caution to the wind just to try and keep up with the others...... They always seemed to smart for anything like that....

[@ThePHYL]

JOJO65 ! Smart with their money?? Richard hasn’t worked in years, the gas station was sued by the mobile Corp. I think it was mobile or maybe she’ll...the have a fortune judgement against him

[@kanyebreast6072]

Kathy has released several cook books,which were very successful and it's a very lucrative thing if your books are successful. That's where she obviously got the money to do this. Plus she had her earning from the real housewives,plus interviews,appearances etc...they have made their money and used it well. By building a property they can sell for much more than they spent to build it.

[@texan903]

Kathy has the dessert company, the family has a restaurant that's also thriving and apparently survived the pandemic and she also teaches a culinary class at Remington College in Memphis. That doesn't include the income from the show. She doesn't need the show, unlike some of the others.

[@jane347]

Beautiful!!! Favourite home out of all the housewives, tasteful and well thought out

[@cathharr08]

In an Italian home..the kitchen is the heart. I love Kathy's home. So warm and inviting.

[@the_voice_of_reason]

This is a seriously beautiful, classy home. I loved watching Kathy and Rosie.. they are the sweetest people and a beautiful family. I wish we could see more of Kathy and her family. I must admit Teresa treated her very badly. I’ll never forget the remark about Cancer.. when Kathy reminded Teresa, “we are not a cancer, we are family” Kathy always behaved with such decorum. Great lady. God Bless Kathy, Richard and their family. 🙏🙏🙏

I couldn't have said it Better Susan.....🍾🍾🍾🥂

[@nartarlyiatremaynne1239]

Beyond fabulous simply gorgeous. Teresa house looks like a dump compared to Kathys home. The light is perfect. Perfection I always loved how much Rich and Kathy loved each other. Kathy and Rich have class and it shows in their home.

[@giannaa.494]

are the spots on the exterior of the house part of the design?

[@connieclark1123]

OMG! Did not realize this was sweet Kathy. I miss her on tv

[@jewelofthemosthigh8385]

I'm going to quote Greg from RHONJ "You're such a lady Kathy". Xo. What a precious soul this lady is.

[@juliemaher3270]

Kathy such a shame your still not on the show. Teresa needs to get the boot. You, Richie The kids and your mum and rosy deserve every happiness in your new home x love from Jules in Liverpool UK

[@diazarmy5278]

This lady was so respectful well mannered and she was the real meaning of a house wife and a great lady beautiful mature lady most beautiful one too your house is so so nice lol notice she had to mention Bravo if not 😂

[@abovetheclouds1771]

Beautiful Kathy Love your Home🏡🌈

[@traceylennon1204]

I remember a long time ago as the house was being built she said she didn't want her children to move out! I think that's sweet...

[@texan903]

Now, whenever grandchildren come along, they'll get to enjoy this beautiful, serene property.

[@sandrasealy7411]

I Love Kathy Wakile!❤️❤️❤️. Her house is Stunning, Beautiful. She is way too elegant and kind for Teresa!

[@Stephanie-gy8iy]

Her house is beautiful but we didn't get to see much of it!

[@ranrose8270]

what a way to upgrade. she has the smallest house now her and rich worked hard and have a big home

[@Mel-os3ld]

Ran Rose where’s the hard work.. selling yours and ur family’s souls on tv for the money.. yeah real hard work!!

[@groovygranny7566]

One of the best parts of Kathy was that she was not interested in keeping up with the Jones (Giudice) , but guess that was wrong!

[@lovehellohello]

Not true , she had Joe build their house and looks like Melissa's house. Kathy use to live in a shack lol

[@Mel-os3ld]

Hello!! What is she doing now then 🤔🤔

[@marianna12377]

So someone since its paid for at the right age kids inheritance??? She does have a big family, and you can tell she wants her family there. No don't pay fire hotel.

[@li-jalove2175]

Beautiful home...Kathy is so nice and I think that's why Teresa doesn't want anything to do with them anymore because she is jealous of Kathy's new house and by doing that she knows that they won't come back to the show for everybody to see their beautiful home and how well they are doing....KATHY PLEASE COME BACK TO RHONJ!!!!!!

[@estellacamacho9226]

Congrats to Kathy & her family on their beautiful house but that house is so big that it overwhelms me to look at it. I often wonder how do these people who purchase these luxurious homes have the time & energy to maintain them. I'd rather live in a two bedroom apartment or have a small townhouse to easily maintain than a luxurious home like all the Housewives do. Don't get me wrong, these luxurious homes are beautiful but to maintain them is whole different ball game. I guess living a rich lifestyle does have its perks just like living a simple life does too.

[@sonialeen4646]

Beautiful house but they didn’t show much of it.

[@loren-sh4xq]

Wow nice home, her other was nice but not the same as this gorgeous home.

[@lanainamerica2043]

Kathy's Wayne house was nice and homey. It was in an exclusive area too. Did Kathy and Ritchie really need to build such a big house? Her kids will be leaving home soon and she will need to downsize. It seems too extravagant. Couldn't they have done some charity with the extra money? I love Kathy, but I have to wonder, do her and Richie really have the money for this lifestyle?

[@traceylennon1204]

I like her dress with the belt!!

[@elimel958]

she's the real deal in family ect. God bless enjoy your home.

[@karenkaren6008]

And now you know why Theresa was horrible to Kathy, pure jealousy. Kathys home is tasteful and lovely like her family.

[@jamespeters7707]

[@bodyshott65]

The difference between this house and Teresa's are night and day. Kathy's house is elegant and well-done. Teresa's is tacky and over the top awful.
