Danielle Staub and Olivier Maier: It’s Over! Already!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub got engaged to Olivier Maier after just weeks of dating, and just months after her last divorce. On Monday, just days after their engagement, they were scheduled to be married — but wisely postponed. Now, it turns out that the two have already broken up . This is … absolutely nuts. Danielle Staub met Olivier Maier late last year through a mutual friend who was dating him at the time. In late February, just months after her split from Martey Caffrey and just a few days after that divorce was finalized, she revealed that she was dating Olivier. Days later, the couple announced that they were engaged. This was Danielle’s twenty-first-engagement. They weren’t messing around about taking things slow, either, and set their wedding date for Monday — by which we mean March 4. But Danielle wisely postponed the wedding … and that’s not all. According to what a source tells Us Weekly , Danielle and Olivier have broken up. That wedding postponement just became permanent. From start to finish, Danielle’s latest relationship lasted just six weeks. While some of her fans were happy to see her move on … and had hoped that a new man might pay off her debts or even buy her a new home. Instead, it appears that he never even bought her a wedding ring when the two went shopping over the weekend. To no one’s surprise, Marty Caffrey has something to say about all of this. In a statement to Us Weekly , Marty has responded to his ex wife’s newest breakup. “I wish, and will always wish, [for] Danielle to achieve true love and happiness,” Marty says. He continues: “I fell in love with her, remember?” “And although I divorced her last August,” Marty notes. “This still troubles me.” Marty also says that he saw this outcome a mile away. Danielle, who has now been engaged twenty-one times and married four times, apparently did not. Marty admits: “I had early suspicions and doubts about the sincerity about this St. Barts nonsense.” He is referring to the photo of the two of them kissing. “Olivier and Danielle would serve themselves well by putting their feet on the ground and staying there forever,” he suggests. However, he predicts: “I doubt either can.” Marty then reveals that Olivier was dating Gina Curko when he and Danielle met. Though Olivier previously insisted that Danielle played no role in that breakup, Marty clearly feels differently. “This is an absolute disgrace, what they both did,” Marty assesses. “Having no regard for Gina and her kids and Danielle’s kids is something I will never understand,” he says. Danielle’s adult daughters were “pushing back” over the weekend over concerns that Danielle was moving too quickly. There’s just one other twist about Olivier. Remember when Danielle revealed that he’s a duke — the duke of Provence? It turns out that he might not be a real duke after all. See, the duchy of Provence was absorbed by the French monarchy centuries ago. So his ancestor may have been nobility centuries ago — but, honestly, whose wasn’t ? The way that bloodlines work, most of us are descended from nobles or even royalty, but most of us don’t claim titles that don’t exist anymore. Maybe Danielle dodged a bullet.

Danielle Staub and Olivier Maier: Engaged After Like a Week! Getting Married Monday!

Just a week after Danielle Staub finalized her divorce from Marty Caffrey, she revealed that she is dating Olivier Maier . Now, the two of them are engaged … and they don’t plan to waste any time. Danielle and Olivier’s wedding date is just days away. The world only learned about this relationship on Monday, February 25, after the Bravo celebrity uploaded a kissing photo to Instagram. People reports that, as of Thursday morning, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Staub and Olivier Maier have become engaged. This is exciting, but also sudden and unexpected. As of earlier this week, she was said to still be residing in the same house as her now ex-husband, Marty Caffrey. After they fly back to pick up Danielle’s ring, they plan to tie the knot at Justice of the Peace in New York City — on Monday. This Monday. This will be Olivier’s second marriage. This will be Danielle’s fourth marriage … and is her twenty-first engagement. “I’m madly in love,” Danielle gushes to People . “I’m feeling elated and excited for the next stage of my life,” she affirms. “I’m going to marry the man of my possible dreams.” “And hopefully,” she expresses. “I’ll spend the rest of my life in bliss.” Olivier is the managing director of a New York-based private equity firm called Speyside Equity. He is both German and French. He is also the Duke of Provence, which means that when they marry, Danielle will become a duchess. Olivier’s family owns 15 vineyards in the South of France. They also own two castles. We should note that, earlier this week, Olivier’s name was reported as being “Oliver,” and that some sites are still reporting his name this way. Danielle and Olivier met in October of last year, two months after her split with Marty. They met through a mutual friend — whom Olivier was actually dating at the time. The romance did not begin right away. In fact, that didn’t begin until February, after they had shared a kiss at the Baccarat hotel. “In that moment I said, ‘Wow,’ ” Staub says of their passionate smooch. “I still tried to push it off, but as the weeks went on, he did not let off the throttle, and he pursued me adamantly,” she characterizes. “And he got what he wanted,” she admits. “We fell madly in love.” Danielle explains to People that Olivier’s blunt personality was, at first, off-putting. “I quite frankly couldn’t stand him when I first met him,” she jokes. “He’s so strong-willed, and at first, I read that as rude, and arrogant and entitled,” she shares. Danielle continues: “It wasn’t until I got to know him that I saw the other side.” “I wasn’t open to it,” she confesses of their relationship. “I was ready to just go out with my girlfriends in Manhattan. I didn’t want this.” “People don’t like to take a risk, but I took a risk,” Olivier says. “Danielle’s one of the smartest people I’ve met,” he raves. “People have preconceived notions about her from reality TV, but she’s a smart woman.” “And I was instantly attracted to that,” he admits. “I care about Danielle,” he emphasizes for any of her fans who may fear that he’s just a rebound. “She’s phenomenal, comes from a good family, and is beautiful beyond belief,” he concludes. “I’m happy we’re together.” Well, this might as well happen.
