RHONJ Star Rachel Fuda Announces Birth of Baby Boy

Rachel Fuda welcomed her new baby months after announcing her pregnancy at the end of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 14 reunion special.

The Bravo TV personality gave birth to a baby boy on February 19 in Paramus, New Jersey.  In photos posted to People magazine, Fuda and her husband posed while holding their newborn son, Lorenzo Antonio Fuda.

Fuda and her husband John share three other children: A son Jaiden, 18, and daughters Gianella, 4, and Giuliana, 2.

Fuda first posted her official pregnancy announcement in August, but she did not share her due date. But she teased her baby’s impending birth in an Instagram story on January 31 as she packed her hospital bag. After noting that she was “very pregnant,” she told fans she would soon have her third cesarean section delivery.

Rachel Fuda’s Baby Boy Has a Special Name

Fans knew Fuda was having a baby boy. The expectant RHONJ star previously posted a gender reveal for her fourth child via a sweet TikTok video shot at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. “It’s a boy!” she captioned a photo of a blue Mickey Mouse balloon outside of the famous Cinderella castle at Magic Kingdom.

Fuda told People that her son’s middle name, Antonio, is in honor of her late grandmother Anna and her husband’s grandmother Ida, who prayed to St. Anthony. The baby also shares a birthday with his paternal great-grandfather John Fuda.

Several RHONJ posted sweet comments to Fuda’s Instagram page following the birth of her son.

“Lorenzo! 🩵 He looks just like his big sis,” wrote Melissa Gorga.

“Giulianas twin!!!!!💙💙💙💙 Welcome to the world Lorenzo!” agreed Danielle Cabral.

“Sooo beautiful congratulations !!! 💙💙,” wrote pal Dolores Catania.

Rachel Fuda Had Her Very 1st Baby Shower Ever in January

Fuda had been pregnant twice before (she gave birth to her two daughters and adopted son Jaiden from her husband’s previous relationship), but in January 2025, she had her first-ever baby shower, which featured a “Bonjour Bébé Fuda” theme.

She previously told People magazine that she was unable to have baby showers while pregnant with her daughters due to COVID-19 restrictions at the time, but her husband helped organize her “first baby shower with [her] last baby” in 2025.

Photos from the special day posted to Instagram showed Fuda wearing a sequin gown as she posed with guests that included several of her “Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 14 cast mates

Fuda told The Daily Dish that when she first discovered she was pregnant, she gave her husband a gift. “I gave John a Chanel box as a bit of a decoy, and when he opened it, there was a baby outfit and photos of my ultrasound inside,” she shared. “John was slightly puzzled for a moment, and then quickly realized what this signified and then turned to the girls and exclaimed they were going to be big sisters.”

Fuda also recorded the sweet moment when she told her husband they were having a baby boy.
