The RHONJ star opened up about her affair.
Getty Margaret Josephs attends the Republic Records VMA After-Party at Catch on August 20, 2018 in New York City. Margaret Josephs dropped a bombshell in her new book, Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget. The 54-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star opened up about an affair she had while she was married to her first husband, Jan Josephs. Before she married her current husband Joe Benigno, Margaret was married to Jan for nearly 20 years, from 1994 to 2013. Her marriage to Jan ended over her infidelity with Joe, per People, but way before that, she strayed from her marriage by sleeping with a rock star. In a new interview with Us Weekly, Margaret admitted she had an affair with Foreigner lead singer Kelly Hansen while married to Jan and that she shared the details in her tell-all book. She also said her ex-husband would find out about the fling with the rock star for the first time when he reads her book. “He’ll find out about [the affair] for the first time,” Margaret said of her ex. “It happened so long ago.… He’s not going to care.” She added that the hardest part of writing her book was reliving her first marriage “because it was painful.” Margaret also explained that she had “such a crazy life” before marrying her much older husband and that in hindsight she now knows she didn’t know how to have a marriage.
