Jacqueline Laurita shares her son’s school photo.

Jacqueline Laurita’s son Nicholas is 13.

Hard to imagine that the former “Real housewives from New JerseyThe star’s son is already in eighth grade, but Laurita shared Nicholas’ school picture on Instagram on Aug. 27, 2022.

“Nicholas Laurita, 13 years old! 8th grade school picture!” Laura captioned the photo, by adding a series of emojis. Longtime RHONJ viewers probably remember Laurita from when she was an OG on the show. She was a full-time housewife for the first five seasons of the show before switching to a part-time housewife for the sixth season. She was full-time for Season 7 and then left the show altogether.

In the years that followed, Laurita and her family moved from New Jersey to Las Vegas, where her two boys attend school. Nicholas, the younger of the two, was diagnosed with autism at a young age. The challenges Laurita faced were a very big part of her storyline at RHONJ. Nicholas has grown and changed in recent years and is making great strides.

“Awww I watch old RHNJ episodes and he’s come this far since then and it makes me smile.” someone else said.
