Melissa Gorga’s sister, Kim Pirrella, works as an esthetician, per her Instagram, and she also lists herself as an actress. She has two children, a son named Joe and a daughter, Lexi. In October 2021, Lexi gave birth to a baby girl, Amelia Grace. Lysa Simpson is a mom of three, and in May 2022, she became a grandmother when her daughter, Gianna, gave birth to a baby boy named Anthony. Simpson touts herself as a health and fitness lover and plugs the New Jersey gym, Sweat 440 Tom’s River. Both Pirrella and Simpson describe themselves as “Big sis to @melissagorga” in their Instagram bios.
In a video for BravoTV.com, the older Marco sisters revealed that it was hard to watch their baby sister on TV when she first joined the Real Housewives, especially when her co-stars were talking smack about her. “It’s been a little bit difficult in the beginning when you became a Housewife,” Simpson told Gorga. “Then it got easier,” Pirrella added, before telling her younger sibling that she’s proud of her now.

In 2013, Gorga’s then-attorney James Leonard Jr. told The Boardwalk Journal that the three Marco sisters have a special bond. “I don’t think you could find three sisters as dedicated to one another as Kim, Lysa, and Melissa are,” he said. “They have a keen awareness of what being a family is all about.”
