Why is Joey Gorga suddenly lying about his age? This article says he's 39. At first I thought that was a typo, and they'd just confused his age with his wife's. But, now, when you Google him, all sources say his birthday is August 15, 1979 (which would make him younger than Melissa, born March 21, 1979).
In her amazing book, Love Italian Style: Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage, Melissa talks about Joe pursuing her when she was working as a bartender at the strip club, after having seen her at a resort in Cancun, when she was only 21 and he was older. He even chimes in to explain why he was hanging out with a bunch of college spring breakers in Mexico even though he was 26 years old, Jersey Shore-style (he was so busy working hard in his early 20s that he never got to party, he says).
HMM.
These fools can't fool the master. I have an eagle eye on all things RHONJ.
