Margaret Josephs Has a 1 Biological Son & 3 Step-Kids – She Has Difficult Relationships with Her Step-Kids

Margaret Josephs's son prefers to stay out of the spotlight. In an interview, the reality star revealed that she has a great bond with her son and described him as a great human. However, she acknowledged her difficulties in reconnecting with her step-kids.

Margaret Josephs is a fashion designer and TV personality who received worldwide attention for being a cast member of "Real Housewives of New Jersey." Her charming charisma won her loyal followers, but it also generated curiosity about her personal life.

The reality TV star is a mom of four; she has one biological son and three step-children. While the fashion mogul's life is an open book, Margaret Josephs's son prefers keeping a low profile. She disclosed in an interview she had no plans of giving viewers a glimpse into her life as a mom.

Who Are Margaret Josephs's Kids?

When she married her ex-husband, Jan Josephs, Margaret became a mom of three step-children. The couple tied the knot in 1994, welcomed a son, and remained married for 19 years before parting ways in 2013.

Jan was 20 years older than Margaret, and his three children were from his previous relationship. When he and the fashion mogul married, his children, whom he had full custody of, were aged 8, 14, and 16. Margaret revealed in an interview that she loved her step-children and was obsessed with them.

During an interview, she openly expressed how she loved and cared for her step-children. She said, "They needed someone to love them, and I was completely obsessed with them."

Margaret Josephs's Step-Children Stopped Getting along with Her

Margaret's dynamic with her step-children underwent a significant shift when she chose to end her marriage with Jan and enter into a new relationship with her current spouse, Joe Benigno. At the time, her step-children had reached adulthood and moved out of the family home.

Following her separation from Jan, tensions between her and the step-children escalated. While her son maintained contact with his half-siblings, communication between them and Margaret became strained.

During an episode of "RHONJ" in 2017, Margaret became emotionally vulnerable while discussing her strained relationship with two step-children, whom she had been unable to communicate with for six years at the time.

Despite the difficulties, she revealed that she still deeply cared for them, occasionally browsing their pictures on Facebook to stay connected. Even so, she remained hopeful of reconciliation with them. She once said:

"I know they don't hate me. They're holding a grudge. And it doesn't make it any easier. But I know in my heart we'll find a way back to one another. I'd die over them."

However, she further remarked that she writes to them constantly, and they acknowledge her message with thank yous, but their relationship does not feel the same as they were her whole life, and it was weird that she no longer knew what they were up to.

Margaret Josephs's Kids Prefer Living Out of the Spotlight

Fans of "RHONJ" were eagerly waiting to see if they would get a chance to meet Margaret Josephs's kids. While she enjoys living in the spotlight alongside stars like Teresa Giudice, she revealed that her children choose to stay private.

In an interview, the reality star acknowledged that her children choose a different life. Considering her lack of privacy, she expressed concern that her participation in the show humiliated them on every level.
