Dina Manzo is opening up about a personal secret she's kept quiet for months.

The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star revealed on Twitter Saturday evening she has split from her husband of seven years, Tommy Manzo

"My secret...I have been separated since October, my heart hurts but Tommy & I will always share a very special love," Dina wrote. "So grateful for the support of my loved ones during this time, especially my spiritual friends. You know who u are xoxo."

Dina went on to say her 17-year-old daughter, Lexi, from her previous marriage to George Hadjiapostoli, has been her "biggest supporter," adding, "Tommy adores her & they will remain close." 

Dina and Tommy tied the knot in 2005 in an extravagant wedding that was featured on the VH1 show, My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding.

Since leaving the Real Housewives of New Jersey, Dina has gone on to design party spaces on HGTV's Dina's Party and recently scored a starring role on soap opera Tainted Dreams, according to wetpaint.com.
