Gia Giudice Reveals the Real Reason She Still Lives at Home: "Honestly..."

The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter returned to the 7,728-square-foot mansion in 2023, shortly after graduating from Rutgers University. Although she has teased the possibility of getting her own place, Gia recently confirmed she wasn’t rushing to leave the nest. 

“I don’t have an urgency to move out right now,” she said in the March 23 episode of her Casual Chaos podcast. “I mean, I have everything I need at home. I know people that stay home until they get married. I make my own money, I do my own thing, but I just don’t see the urgency to move out.”

Is Gia planning to move in with her boyfriend, Christian Carmichael?

Gia lives at the New Jersey home with her mother, Teresa Giudice; stepdad, Luis “Louie” Ruelas; and little sister, Audriana Giudice. She told listeners there was only one “reason” she would leave her family home: to shack up with her longtime boyfriend, Christian Carmichael.

“When we’re both ready, that’s going to happen,” she said about moving in with her beau. “But I get amazing meals cooked by my mom and… I love my [dog] Bella and just being home with my family. I honestly love it. Christian loves it, too. Christian is one of four, as well. He has four brothers… I’m one of four sisters, so we have very similar home dynamics where it’s fun being around your siblings and your family.”

Gia’s youngest sister, Audriana, is a sophomore in high school, while her other sisters, Gabriella and Milania Giudice, are attending the University of Michigan and the University of Tampa, respectively. 

Gia says her mom, Teresa Giudice, doesn't want her to leave the nest

“As much as I’m living at home, I also do my own thing all the time I’m in and out of the city,” Gia continued. “I’m working every day. There’s days where I barely see my house, and my mom doesn’t want me to move out. I still help around the house with my sisters.”

Although Gia insists she’s in “no rush” to move in with Christian, she said they regularly discuss the topic and “look at apartments and houses all the time.”

“It’s kind of just whenever Christian and I are ready… but we also don’t need to jump into it next week,” she explained. “And when the time comes, you guys will have a front-row seat and be a part of the whole journey.”
