Staub, who has been married twice before, initially announced the news via her Facebook page, changing her relationship status from "single" to "engaged.”
Staub, mother to two daughters named Jillian and Christine, said support from her fans “helps me start this new journey in the spirit of peace and happiness."
The brunette beauty was at the center of one of the show’s most explosive moments: an enraged Teresa Giudice flipped a table on her in an episode where the fiery reality stars were arguing about Staub’s alleged past work an escort.
