Both Lauren Manzo and Vito Scalia have denied split rumors at various times throughout their marriage. In 2018, for example, Vito fired back at fans wondering about the status of his relationship with his then-wife. “We just don’t put our relationship on social media and people can’t seem to understand that. We are perfect,” he said on Facebook. Then, in July 2023, just two months before Scalia filed for divorce, it was Lauren’s turn to shoot down rumors. “First of all, I truly give zero f**** if you admire me or not. Secondly, I haven’t been on TV in 7 years. I am allowed to keep aspects of my life private especially after having a child. If you don’t like it, then stay away from my page. It’s very simple,” she said at the time.
Despite the efforts made to keep the status of the relationship private, the news eventually broke. Although Lauren and Scalia haven’t said too much about their failed marriage, it’s clear that they both want what is best for each other — and for their daughter, whom they co-parent. “We continue to move forward with love and respect for each other, and we will always be a family, and that’s it. It’s about our daughter and her privacy because she didn’t ask to be on TV — we did,” Lauren said on Instagram.
