Melissa Gorga’s love story is in full bloom in the Garden State.

After nearly two decades of marriage, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star tells Page Six Style she and Joe Gorga have been keeping the “spark alive” with date nights twice a week.

But while the Bravoleb certainly knows how to rock a red carpet, she’s not always decked out in designer duds when spending quality time with her beau. 

“I feel sexiest when I’m moisturized [with] no makeup and just, like, some loose clothing,” Gorga says, adding,“I know for sure that’s Joe’s favorite.”

She swears by her “absolute favorite” Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Body Moisturizer ($37) for just that, saying it “gives a little bit of that glow without being greasy.”

While she brings a similarly “low-key” approach to Valentine’s Day these days, Gorga recalls unwrapping a “beautiful” diamond tennis necklace from Joe the first year the couple celebrated together.

“It was probably the only time he ever gave bougie gifts like that … it was a nice gesture when we were just dating for a couple of months,” says the Envy owner.

Not every Feb. 14 since their 2004 nuptials has been a gem, however, as she says Joe “totally forgot one year that it was even Valentine’s Day.”

“I was like, he’ll have candy and a card … [he had] zero,” she laughs. “And I was just looking at him and he was just looking at me. And I’m like, ‘It’s Valentine’s Day,’ and he’s like, ‘Oh s—t.’ February 15 turned into Valentine’s that year.”

If you’ve saved your shopping for the last minute too — or want to pick up a treat for yourself — Gorga breaks down her Valentine’s Day must-haves below, from sweet scents to cozy blankets.
