Are Danielle Staub And Al B. Sure Dating? New Details On Their Rumored Romance
Divorcing and dating. It's called multi-tasking.
Instagram Danielle Staub isn't letting the dissolution of her third marriage deter her from getting back out there. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 56, has recently been spotted out and about with R&B star Al B. Sure, sparking romance rumors in the midst of her divorce from Marty Caffrey.
The rumored couple were caught looking cozy together at a Harlem hotel last week, with a source telling Us Weekly the two have been hooking up. The source added that Staub has even been sharing details of the encounters with friends. So are Danielle Staub and Al B. Sure dating?
Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Even if Staub isn't shying away from spilling all the details to friends, looks like she's staying tight-lipped on this one as far as the public is concerned. A rep for the RHONJ alum quickly denied the dating rumors, telling Us Weekly: "They’ve been friends for a very long time. Someone might have misconstrued what they saw."

However, Staub recently posted a photo of herself and and the singer to Instagram, teasing fans with the idea of a Danielle Staub X Al B. Sure collab.
"Here's another one for all the #albsure and #danielle #fans," she captioned the pic, adding, "Would you like to hear us sing together?"
If the rumors are true, it looks like fans will have to wait a bit for an official confirmation — which isn't something RHONJ fans necessarily expect from Staub. The star's had a whirlwind year, romance-wise, announcing her divorce from Caffery, 66, in September, mere months after their wedding in May.
The couple's short but tumultuous marriage was apparently riddled with disputes, with Staub revealing to Bravo there had definitely been warning signs leading up to their marriage. "It’s funny how I saw certain things happening but you just believe, especially with the perception around us, getting engaged would make it better … getting married would make it better. It doesn’t get better, ladies. If it’s falling apart, it’s broken. You can't fix that," the star told Bravo's Daily Dish.
Staub went on to cite "alcohol-related issues" on Caffrey's side to blame, while also admitting, "I'm not the easiest person to live [with] either. I’m to blame for it as well." Shortly before announcing their split, both Staub and Caffrey filed temporary restraining orders against each other following a dispute at their New Jersey home.
Back in October, Staub opened up to Us Weekly about the strained cohabitation arrangement with her estranged husband, revealing the two do not share a bed. "We’re roommates for now. Or housemates I should say, not roommates," she told the outlet. She went on to call the situation uncomfortable, adding, "But it’s gotta be uncomfortable for him, too. I just don’t know if he’s as uncomfortable as I am because it seems like he enjoys that in his life. Drama in his life is something that I was shocked to find out.”
Staub was previously married to Kevin Maher and Thomas Staub. However, while the star only has only clocked three marriages, she has allegedly worn her fair share of engagement rings. Prior to the star's most recent trip down the aisle, co-star Teresa Giudice infamously called out the bride-to-be, alleging she had been engaged no fewer than 19 times.
As for the star's rumored new beau, Al B. Sure has had a dramatic year of his own. Following the death of ex Kim Porter, with whom he shares a son, the singer shared a tribute to the late model on Instagram, captioning a photo of the two, "Forever My Lady."
Whether or not the romance rumors are true, both Staub and Al B. Sure are definitely deserving of a little cuffing-season fling at the end of a tough year.
