Teresa Giudice revealed new details about her love life to fans on Wednesday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
The Bravo reality tv-star, 48, was chatting with her 20-year-old daughter Gia about Joe Giudice, her ex-husband and Gia’s dad, when the subject of the woman he was dating at the time arose, People reported.
"Do you have a picture of his girlfriend?" said Teresa, who also shares Gabriella, 16, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 11, with Joe.
"No, he just introduced me to this girl," Gia explained. "We were on FaceTime just talking, and he was like, 'Do you want to meet the girl I'm at dinner with?' And I was like, 'If you want' and he was like, 'Well, no, no, no only if you want.'"
At this moment, Gia’s sister Milania walked into the room and happened to have her dad, Joe, on the phone.
"I heard Gia met your girlfriend," Teresa told her ex through the phone, to which he replied, "I heard Gia met your boyfriend."
"Are you kidding me?" Teresa said, shocked that her daughters revealed her new romance to their dad.
Teresa has since gone public about her new relationship with Luis Ruelas.
"Yes, I'm dating someone. I didn't talk about him because I wasn't ready to talk about him," Teresa said during one of the confessional interviews in the episode. "I guess people have loose lips."
"I guess I can't keep it a secret forever," she continued. "But if it's gonna get out there, I'd rather people find out when I'm ready for people to find out."
Later in the call, Joe clarified that the woman he was dining with was his lawyer, not his girlfriend, but Gia and Milania weren’t convinced.
Milania told her father to stop being defensive, and assured both of her parents that it’s okay for them to date.
"Trust me, this is all new for me, you know, like, I just want to do everything right, but I appreciate the green light," Teresa confessed before she joked, "That's it, I'm going out every night!"
Ruelas is the co-founder of Digital Media Solutions and has been dating Teresa since November 2020.
After the reality star made the relationship “Instagram official” in December, the pair spent the holidays together and vacationed in Los Angeles and on the beach. Ruelas is set to appear in upcoming episodes of the Bravo reality series.
