Read About Nadine Caridi - Jordan Belfort's Ex-Wife

Nadine Caridi is best known as the Duchess of Bay Ridge. She was born on December 24, 1967, in London, England. She is a citizen of the United States and the United Kingdom and is a Capricorn. Despite her status as a model, her career did not enjoy the same level of recognition as that of Jordan Belfort's ex-wife. 

London was Nadine's birthplace. She did, however, spend her entire youth in Brooklyn, New York, where she soon moved with her parents. Unfortunately, not a lot of information about the model's parents or relatives is available, as she never discussed them much. 

We may state that she attended Brooklyn's Dewey High School for her early education. Following her graduation from high school, she pursued a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at the Pacifica Graduate Institute. In 2015, she even received her PhD in the same field. 

Originally aspiring to be a model, Nadine Caridi's career took a fortuitous turn after she was chosen to be the face of the well-known beer brand, Miller Lite. She also participated in several national campaigns. But the bar she received while dating Jordan is incomparable to any modeling stardom. Thus, the model gave up modeling after she got married to Jordan. However, following her split from the notorious stockbroker, she made her living by obtaining a PhD in clinical psychology.

She immediately began practicing family therapy and professional counseling, going by the name Nadine Macaluso. She thinks therapy can heal because it helps people reestablish their relationships with their true selves.

It might surprise you to learn that Nadine never changed her name to Nadine Belfort after getting married. This suggests that there was only ever a staged relationship between Nadine and Jordan. We have to admit that Jordan adheres faithfully to actual circumstances because Naomi does not adopt the name Naomi Belfort even in the film.

Jordan used to throw infamous parties that were full of females, drugs, and alcohol. Jordan and Nadine first got together at one of such parties. At that point, Jordan was already wed to Deniso Lombardo. However, Jordan's attraction to Nadine forced him to file for divorce from his first wife, and in 1991 they were married. Carter and Chandler are the two children Jordan and Nadine share custody of. In "The Wolf of Wall Street," Naomi, the wife of Jordan Belfort, is played by Nadine Caridi. In his memoir, Jordan renamed his marriages, and the filmmaker accurately depicts this.
