Buddy Valastro counts "Real Housewives of New Jersey" veterans Melissa and Joe Gorga as close friends. In 2019, the reality TV baker told Us Weekly that the Gorgas are one of him and his wife's go-to couples. They started out as neighbors with kids the same age — both pairs have four kids each — and it evolved into a true friendship.
"They're great people. They're our neighbors, we live on the same block," Buddy said of the Gorgas. "So, our kids are close together in age, and they play together." And they're travel buddies, too. The two families once went on vacation to Disney World together, a plan they cooked up when the Gorgas were at the Valastro's house for dinner one night, Buddy told the outlet.
The foursome's friendship has been going strong since at least 2015, when Melissa posed for an Instagram photo in front of Carlo's Bake Shop and captioned it with, "So great hanging with my neighbors today @buddyvalastro @lisavalastro4 They sent me home with all this dessert!! Cake anyone?!" And in 2018, the two couples posed in a swimming pool in Sea Bright, New Jersey. "Good times with great friends!!" Melissa captioned an Instagram post, in which she tagged the Valastros.
