Margaret Josephs is opening up about her grieving process following ex-husband Jan’s death saying it put her whole life in perspective.
Margaret was married to Jan Josephs for 20 years when she cheated on him with current husband Joe Benigno in 2013. Margaret recently said on season 14 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey that Margaret married Joe two weeks after her divorce from Jan Josephs was finalized.
Jan died of a sudden heart attack in August of 2022.
Margaret’s storyline for season 14 has centered around processing Jan Josephs death two years later.
In the clip above, Margaret says it was a horrible year adding, “my husband had to watch me cry a lot about someone I used to be in love with. It was a horrible year. He would watch me cry about my ex-husband and mourn a loss of someone I was married to for twenty years.”

Margaret says she was not easy to live with following Jan’s death.

Margaret and Jan share one biological son and Margaret adopted Jan’s three children when they were married. However, Margaret did become estranged from her three step children when she divorced Jan and married Joe Benigno.
