Former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dina Manzo and her millionaire businessman boyfriend were the victims of a weekend home invasion that left the pair bound and beaten, a lawyer for the couple confirmed to The Post.
Manzo, 46, and beau David Cantin, 37, were met by a pair of masked thieves when they walked into their Holmdel home Saturday night around 11, police said.
Cops said the invaders “rushed towards” the couple when they opened the front door to their three-bedroom townhouse on Bayan Boulevard.
Cantin was struck several times with a baseball bat by one of the goons, while Manzo was repeatedly punched by the other, authorities said.
The couple was then bound together inside the home, according to cops.
While the victims were bound, the crooks rummaged through the home and snagged an undetermined amount of cash and jewelry before fleeing, police said.
After the pair managed to free themselves, they called the Holmdel Township Police Department, which then launched a joint investigation into the attack and robbery with the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.
Both Manzo and Cantin, who suffered facial injuries, were treated and released at an area hospital, cops said. Cantin suffered a broken nose.
“Dina and David are obviously shaken up from the traumatic and violent home invasion and robbery. No one should ever have to go through what they did,” their lawyer Andrew Brettler said. “They are grateful to law enforcement and the other emergency responders and appreciate everyone’s concern and well wishes.”
The reality star and Cantin started officially dating last year.
Over the weekend – before the home invasion – Manzo posted a photo on Instagram posing with Cantin and fellow “RHONJ” star Teresa Giudice’s youngest daughter, Audriana, who was celebrating her First Holy Communion.
“Celebrating my Audriana’s 1st communion,” Manzo gushed in the caption.
Bravo, which runs “Real Housewives,” did not immediately return a request for comment.
