It adds to feverish speculation about the celebrity pair – who had split after just two months of marriage in 2018.

Danielle, 57, went to be briefly engaged to French lover Oliver Maier – but their relationship broke down over his drunken antics.

The RHONJ star had released a shocking clip of boozed-up Mair sitting in a drunken stupor on a beach as waves crashed into him.

But Marty’s pointed intervention suggests he and Danielle may be more than just amicable exes.

A fan wrote on the Instagram account of Best Of Bravo: “I don’t know why everyone is hating on @danielle_staub in the comments.

“If it wasn’t for her New Jersey housewives would have been canceled. She put them on the map! Period.”

Marty agreed with this comment and replied, “They all owe their paychecks and careers to @danielle_staub when they really think about it. There’s a reason she was Andy [Cohen]’s first guest [on Watch What Happens Live] and Teresa wasn’t.”

Marty added, “Even today they all have to constantly invoke Danielle to be relevant when she’s not even there to stand up for herself. Without her, do any of them have a storyline to this day?”

Danielle responded to her ex, “Awww thank you @marty_caffrey for speaking on my behalf. Truly Means a lot!”

It comes after Teresa Giudice even claimed businessman Marty, 67, and Danielle are still sleeping together.

And reports have suggested the alleged couple are even living together.

Their cordial chat marks a big shift in their relationship since their marriage broke down last year.

At the time, Marty claimed he’d been treated “like a piece of s**t” just weeks after their TV wedding in the Bahamas.

Their divorce – Danielle’s third – was finalized in early 2019.
