Nothing comes between Danielle Cabral and her man.

In an exclusive interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 39, discusses Jennifer Aydin’s body-shaming attack on her husband, Nate Cabral, and why she felt the need to defend him fiercely in the Season 14 finale.

“Listen, when someone gets physical, it’s never right. It’s wrong,” says Danielle, who famously confronted Aydin during an all-cast meeting at Rails Steakhouse after Aydin made hurtful comments about Nate.

The Boujie Kidz founder admits she “regrets” her explosive reaction to the comment but emphasizes that the “words hurt,” as Nate, 41, has struggled with body image issues.

“The words that cut like a knife,” she adds.

Danielle shares that she became upset when she realized Aydin’s offensive remark resembled insults made by online trolls.

“This was coming out [from] bloggers. People were saying mean things about Nate. … I would see [them], and we’re like, ‘Oh God, I hope he doesn’t see this tweet or this image of a big-breasted woman and then there’s my husband,’” recalls the mom of two.

“He started going to the gym at 4 a.m. He started working out. He started going, ‘Babe, does this shirt make me look OK?’ And I’m like, ‘Aw s—t, he sees it,’” she says.

Danielle quickly became convinced that Aydin was behind the online vitriol that affected Nate’s self-esteem.

“So when she said that to me, in that split second, I was like, ‘Oh my God, it was you. You’ve been putting it out. You!’ And … it just happened, and I thought of my husband. He’s everything to me,” Danielle shares.

Earlier this month, the Cabrals shared a steamy photo shoot in response to Aydin’s insult.

“You have to have thick skin in the reality world. Growing up, I was a heavy kid. I had such a fear of even being called on in class,” Nate confessed in the video.

“You see people just shame and talk, it’s just like, why?”

Danielle tells “Virtual Reali-Tea” she was overwhelmed by the “love” she received from fans after she shared the shoot via social media.

“I had a year to sit on my response, and this is what I’m going to do, and I had the photographer and the videographer, and it was such a peaceful set. I said, ‘Nate, trust us. We’re going to make you feel comfortable and do right by you,’” she shares.

“And when we saw the first clip of that video, we were like, ‘This is it. This is how you come back, is how you get a bully, is when you do stuff like that.’”

Danielle’s next project is her second “Party Like a Housewife” event, taking place Saturday at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ, with portions of proceeds going to Staten Island’s Sunrise Day Camp.

“We dance and party the entire night, and it’s so much fun,” she raves, adding that she is “excited” to have co-stars Melissa Gorga and Rachel Fuda join her for the event.

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is available to stream on Peacock.
