Teresa Giudice and ex-husband Joe Giudice's youngest daughter, Audriana Giudice, is growing up! The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter turned 15 years old on Saturday, September 14 during a fabulous dinner with friends and family in Manhattan.
Teresa took to her Instagram account over the weekend where she shared photos from Audriana's big night out at TAO in New York City. Teresa snapped photos of her and her husband Luis "Louie" Ruelas standing in front of the dinner table with Audriana. The mom of four also got many videos of Audriana's friends, sitting around the dinner table, wishing her a happy birthday.
Although she seemed just a little nervous to be sung "Happy Birthday" to in front of her friends, it's nothing that Audriana isn't used to. Audriana's birth in September 2009 was captured on RHONJ Season 2, Episode 4, and she has since grown up in front of cameras.

Teresa's birthday message for Audriana in the caption of the post acknowledged how much she has grown over the past 15 years. "Happy birthday to my little baby! I can't believe you're 15," Teresa wrote. "You amaze me every day with your motivation, ambition, and strength. You are so special. You will always be my little baby! To another year of growth, happiness, and health, I love you to the moon and back."
During a September 12 episode of her podcast, Turning the Tables with Teresa Giudice, Teresa opened up about Audriana's birthday plans. "This weekend, we have [been] preparing for Audriana's 15th birthday and we're taking her to Tao. Her and 20 of her friends," she said. "Yeah, we've been planning that."
But that wasn't all! Teresa also shared Instagram Stories from an at-home celebration thrown in Audriana's honor where she enjoyed cake.
Audriana Giudice's Plans for College
It won't be long before Audriana turns 18 years old and finally leaves her family home. Teresa revealed Audriana's plans for the future and college in a sit-down with BravoTV.com in July. "She keeps saying she wants to go to the University of Miami," Teresa said, as seen in the video above.
"That's her school and that's where I want her to go, too," Teresa added. "So, I'm like, 'You need to study hard, because you need, you know, top grades to go there."
Teresa has just a few more years until she becomes an empty nester when Audriana heads off to college. But, she will have plenty of experience in helping her adjust, thanks to Audriana's older sisters. During the same podcast episode, Teresa revealed that her second youngest daughter, Milania Giudice, who is currently in her freshman year at the University of Tampa, had a bit of a tough time leaving home. "She calls me every day," Teresa said.
But, Teresa is going to visit Milania in Florida next month after visiting her second eldest daughter Gabriella Giudice at the University of Michigan this upcoming weekend. Still, Milania is getting used to things in college. "She is adjusting. She's doing amazing," Teresa revealed. "You know, some classes she had to switch because she didn't like them, and you do that, Gabriella did the same thing. And she got into the classes she wants, so she's doing amazing."
"She keeps saying, 'I love you, mommy, I love you mommy, come visit me mommy, come visit me,'" Teresa said. "I'm like, 'I'll be there soon!'"
