Kelsey Swanson‘s speculated romantic partner, John Caprio, has responded to the buzz surrounding his potential involvement with her.
After Kelsey made her appearance on the inaugural season of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island last week, John, who is the son of the late judge Frank Caprio, was identified as her possible clandestine companion. In the wake of this speculation, he addressed the rumors about their alleged romance through a statement. Meanwhile, his family’s legal practice, Caprio Law, shared a cryptic post on Instagram featuring his daughter, attorney Sophia Caprio Santilli.
In an Instagram video posted by the law firm on April 5, Sophia made an appearance, set to the backdrop of the Real Housewives theme song.
The caption succinctly stated, “No comment. just counsel.”
Also included in the clip was a message that said, “Breakups are hard. But the reality is … talking through your options doesn’t have to be. Contact us for a consultation.”
Following the sharing of the snippet, Kelsey posted a response in the comments section, featuring a series of emojis, including the laughing while crying emoji, the hands raised emoji, and a red heart emoji.
John also spoke to The Providence Journal on April 6 when they reached out for a statement, telling the outlet, “I respectfully have no comment, but I’m not comfortable answering any questions,”
In addition to John speaking to The Providence Journal, his daughter Sophia spoke out as well, confirming it was her in the Instagram clip and adding, “I have no comment about that. I’m going to let Kelsey tell her story and let the season unfold.”
Even John’s ex-wife, Catherine Caprio, addressed the speculation.
“We want nothing to do with the ‘Real Housewives’ baloney,” she declared.
Reality Blurb also did some digging and found that the popular and legendary Judge Frank Caprio shared a family photo back in September of 2017 in which he tagged Kelsey. John also appears in the picture.

As RHORI fans may have seen, Kelsey was seen on an episode of Watch What Happens Live last week, where she confirmed her boyfriend was supportive of her role on the show, and admitted that he was a big fan of the Real Housewives franchise.
“He’s the biggest Housewives fan. He’s a reality TV junkie. Hardcore. He knows every season. He knows what season Erika Jayne’s husband [Thomas Girardi] went to jail. He knows everything, and he loves it. Very supportive,” she shared on the April 2 episode.
Kelsey has also made headlines for her supposed past as an escort, which she denied in a comment days ago.
“[I’ve] never have been an escort. Pages were completely made up 10 years ago. State police were involved,” she explained in response to alleged screenshots of her profile.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island season one airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.
