Danielle Cabral Reveals Husband Nate is Undergoing Brain Surgery as RHONJ Cast Offers Support

Danielle Cabral‘s husband, Nate Cabral, is set to undergo his second brain surgery next week.

As fans await news on The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 15, Danielle, 40, took to social media to share the health update with her fans and followers as she and Nate were met with tons of support, even from their Bravo castmates.

“Here we go again. Brain surgery number two,” Danielle wrote in the caption of a post shared to her Instagram page on September 29, which included a series of images and videos of Nate, as well as pics of his brain scans.

“In 2017, days before Vee was born, Nate had emergency brain surgery to remove a colloid cyst from his third ventricle. He was very sick … His symptoms recently started coming back, and after taking a scan a few weeks ago, we learned his cyst has grown … In one week, he will be heading back into NYU for his second brain surgery,” she continued.

“This time around (thankfully), he will be able to walk into the hospital positive and ahead of the game … And of course, a big slice of the infamous brain cake will be waiting for him,” Danielle added.

Along with the post, Danielle tagged herself and Nate at NYU Langone Health, which is based in New York City, and included images from a brain scan in 2017 and another earlier this month.

Following the sharing of the post, Danielle and Nate received support from their RHONJ co-stars, including Dolores Catania, 54, Margaret Josephs, 58, and Brittany Mattessich, 35.

“[You’re] in good hands and we will be praying for [you] guys please let us know if we can help in any way,” said Dolores.

“Sending prayers and full speedy recovery for [Nate Cabral]!!!” wrote Margaret.

“Sending healing prayers and positive vibes your way,” Brittany added.

After seeing all of the comments, Nate shared one of his own.

“Thank you all for the love and support!!!” he said. “Humbling to read all your comments [and] prayers [God is good].”

Last year, on an episode of the 14th season of

RHONJ, Danielle was seen opening up about Nate’s past health issues.

“You know it’s been six years since your [brain] surgery,” Danielle said to Nate. “That was the scariest time, I think, of our entire relationship.”

She then added in a confessional that Nate “couldn’t even walk” during that time.

“He would stand there and just stare at me,” she explained. “It was terrifying. Come to find out he had a cyst in his brain.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on pause ahead of its 15th season.

Alexis Bellino EXPOSES Red Flags, Divorce Drama & Tamra's "Screw Up"!-quang

Alexis Bellino addressed if there are red flags in her relationship with fiancé

John Janssen, and shared why she split with her ex-husband Jim Bellino. The Real Housewives of Orange County alum also hinted at when Tamra Judge “screwed me,” and revealed why she stayed friends with her.

Last season, Tamra seemingly shaded Alexis after fans started slamming Alexis and John (Shannon Beador‘s ex). But years before their controversial engagement, Alexis was married to Jim – who once sued Tamra and Shannon for defamation. During Alexis’ first stint on RHOC, she famously said of Jim, “God is my savior, my husband is my king.”

On Vicki Gunvalson‘s My Friend My Soulmate My Podcast, Alexis discussed her relationship with John.

“Everybody thought John was so bad and all these things. [He] has not shown one [red flag],” said Alexis. “Not even a yellow or an orange or anything that’s in the red family. Like not even any. It’s all green.”

“We have had arguments. We have had a couple of hard discussions,” she continued. “But we don’t fight.”

Vicki then offered her own perspective, recalling her dramatic relationship with ex

Brooks Ayers.

“When I was in love with Brooks, the world hated him, hated me, said I was in on a cancer scam,” said Vicki. “I loved him. And it was horrible what the cast did, stating that I was in on something. That was

Megan Edmonds [who] started that whole s**t show.”

“When you were with your husband [Jim], you were like, ‘He’s my man. I’m gonna protect him. He’s my man. I’m gonna serve him as a biblical wife,'” recalled Vicki of Alexis’ past marriage. “And I loved that about you. A very, you know, faithful wife.”

Alexis added that she and Vicki had “many talks about that.”

“Up until the very last day I filmed that show on season eight, I never thought I would get a divorce. I was gonna hang in there — I did tell myself — until [the kids] were 16,” she said. “I did say, if things can’t change, I’m gonna make it till they’re 16. I needed them to have a car. The show ended for me and then [things] kept spiraling down. And [we] were in therapy constantly. We weren’t going anywhere better. And then it started to become apparent that … maybe we will be better apart.”

But she said they try to do “everything amicabl[y].”

At one point in the podcast, Alexis recalled her past drama with Tamra.

“Tamra and I have gotten so deep and so down there. She kind of screwed me a little bit on one of the scenes,” said Alexis. “But that girl stood by my side when I had to turn comments off [and] I was getting death threats.”

“And you also say, ‘I forgive you.’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah, I was an A-hole to you.’ She admitted it,” Alexis continued. “And then once we talked it through, it was like, ‘I get where you were coming from.'”

Addressing Tamra, Vicki added, “Just don’t do it again!”

“There’s TV Tamra and then there’s a real Tamra,” said Vicki. “TV Tamra does a lot for the TV show, and it does create drama.”

Alexis commented, “The only difference I see is that the Camera Tamra tries to move the storyline forward because she’s like, ‘we’re here to do a job.’ She gets that reality TV … [is] a job … No one wants to hear about John Janssen and Alexis Bellino forever. Move it forward. She gets that.”

Ryan Clark breaks down the explosive performance that has everyone talking.

ESPN NFL Analyst Ryan Clark turned some heads last week with a strong criticism of Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty by suggesting he doesn’t possess the ‘it’ factor.

Well, Ashton Jeanty’s Week 4 performance — which included 155 total yards and three TDs against the Chicago Bears — appeared to have caught the eye of Clark on Sunday.

Ryan Clark Reacts to Ashton Jeanty’s Big Week 4 Performance

To set the table of exactly why former Pittsburgh Steelers DB Ryan Clark reacting to Jeanty’s big Week 4 performance is such a big deal, a quick refresher of Ryan Clark’s own words about the Boise State product through the first three games of his NFL career feels appropriate.

“To me, Ashton Jeanty doesn’t have that pop, doesn’t have that thing that makes him different,” Clark said critically on ESPN’s First Take last week. “What’s Ashton Jeanty’s ‘it’ factor? Because when you got it, you got it, and it pops. I don’t think this is a load management thing. I think this is a production thing. This is a pop thing … Ashton Jeanty is playing at Boise State, he’s getting a ton of carries and young men got tired of hitting him. These boys [in the NFL], you think Derwin James is going to get tired of hitting him? You think these [linebackers] in the league are going to get tired of hitting him?”

For some additional context, Jeanty had just 144 rushing and one score on 47 carries through his first three games. His average 3.1 yards per carry certainly suggest that the Boise State product was off to a slow start behind a struggling offensive line.

That changed on Sunday.

During Jeanty’s career performance on Sunday, Clark to X to react to one of Jeanty’s gamebreaking plays against the Bears.

“Well ok Ashton… now that’s a mother effing play!!” Clark wrote on X. This may not be a ull blown retraction of his previous comments about Jeanty, but it certainly appears that Clark was unable to deny that Jeanty made the type of plays befitting of a difference making ball carrier at the running back position on Sunday.

Ryan Clark Receives Some Shade for His ‘It Factor’ Comments on Ashton Jeanty on Sunday

The official X account of the Las Vegas Raiders didn’t take long to respond to Clark’s post by replying with a smirking face emoji.

Brett Kollman of the Bootleg Football podcast was quick to throw shade at Clark’s criticism of Jeanty by posting on X, “Damn just imagine how good his stat line would be if he had an it factor.”

Jeanty delivered the type of all-around performance on Sunday that suggests he has finally arrived on the NFL scene after a slow start. Two of this three touchdowns on the day came through the air, which suggests he is far more than just an early down thumper at the RB position.

Jeanty was exceptional during his college career and finally showed that his multitude of monster performances at Boise State translates to the NFL.

The Raiders offense still has its fair share of issues to work out, but if Las Vegas gets this version of Jeanty moving forward — then we could see this offense makes big strides over the back half of the 2025 NFL season.
