Caroline Manzo has flown the coop!
As she settles in to her own spinoff Manzo'd With Children, Caroline share that it couldn't have come at a better time as she literally had "no more to give" Real Housewives of New Jersey!
Caroline reveals she was planning to leave the show when the spinoff offer came in and she answered an emphatic "No" when asked if she missed her RHONJ castmates. "I knew it was something that I had in mind for a while," she shares with Fashion & Style. "I knew that I have given the show all I could. You know, when you have no more to give its time to go. I made this decision and I'm at peace with it, and I'm cool. I'm happy. I don't miss it."

Caroline's new show has already wrapped filming and is "ready to go". The first season will feature Lauren Manzo getting engaged to longtime boyfriend Vito Scalia. "We had an absolutely blast filming it. It's fun. It's lighthearted," Caroline gushes. "You really get the picture of who we are as a family, so we'll see what happens." Rumor has it Al Manzo's participation was mandatory if he wanted to save his marriage.
Manzo'd With Children does not have an official premiere date just yet but sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita, who confirmed her own departure from RHONJ, agrees that leaving was the right decision for Caroline.
As for other sister-in-law Dina Manzo reportedly taking Jacqueline's place on RHONJ, Jacqueline was dismissive. "If that's something she really wanted to do then she should enjoy it."
