Margaret and her pigtails became known to RHONJ fans in 2017. On the show, she discussed her divorce from Jan, which was the result of an affair with her new husband at the time, Joe. But according to the MacBeth Collection owner, the situation wasn't as messy as it sounds.

In the show's debut season, Margaret explained that she and Jan were in a dark place in their marriage when Joe came into her life. Joe worked as a contractor for Margaret and Jan's house, resulting in what Margaret described as "unbelievable chemistry."

“When I met my husband Joe we were both married to separate people," she said on RHONJ. "He had come into my life because he was a contractor and he came in to do our molding. My marriage was going down the tubes, and we had this unbelievable chemistry, and we fell in love."

Margaret said she knew she couldn't remain married to Jan due to her feelings for Joe. She and Jan eventually divorced in 2013, and she married Joe in Las Vegas, Nev., days after the divorce was finalized, per RadarOnline. Though Margaret's affair, divorce, and marriage caused a stir within her community, she said she couldn't imagine being without Joe — no matter how it made her look.

"Leaving my first husband was a very big scandal in our town," she admitted. "But this is my f---ng life, and you know what, take me for who I am!”
