Teresa Giudice's 23-year-old daughter, Gia Giudice, is almost ready to move out of her family's New Jersey home to live with her longtime boyfriend, Christian Carmichael.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter recently appeared on her mom's podcast, Turning the Tables By Teresa Giudice, where Gia finally revealed her plans for moving in with Christian. "Eventually, within the next year or so, I do think I want to move out, just because I just want to experience that time with Christian, I think," Gia said. "Just to see how we live together, but, I do really want to move in with him, eventually."
"I think you should live on your own first," Teresa replied. (In fact, when Teresa stopped by Bravo HQ earlier this summer, she reiterated a similar sentiment, which you can check out in the video at the top of the post.)
Gia, an aspiring lawyer, had the perfect rebuttal to her mom during the podcast. "What am I going to do, mom? Live on my own? That's going to be so boring," she retorted, noting that she would be "terrified" to live by herself. "He's literally going to be over every night anyway if I lived on my own."
Teresa finally submitted to Gia after hearing her side of the argument. "I give you my blessing if you want to move in with Christian," she said.
Gia, however, noted that she is "in no rush" to move in with him. "When it happens, it happens," she said.
Why Teresa Giudice Wants Gia Giudice To Live On Her Own
During RHONJ Season 14 Episode 7, Teresa explained why she wanted Gia to live on her own so badly before moving in with Christian. "I feel like you should live on your own first, and then go be with the guy," she said during the episode.
In a confessional during the episode, Teresa revealed that she had not lived on her own before she married her now ex-husband and Gia's father, Joe Giudice, in 1999, because she "wasn't allowed to." "Gia is an adult now," she said. "She can do whatever makes her happy."
"But I want my kids to experience everything that I didn't get to experience," she added.
Why Gia Giudice thinks boyfriend Christian Carmichael is "the one"
Gia's plans to move in with Christian are part of their grand plan to be together for the rest of their lives. During the episode of Turning The Tables, Gia opened up about why she believes Christian is "the one."
"I don't know," Gia admitted, after saying that she "really loves" him. "I just think he is."
"I feel like he is. I, obviously, think he is," she said. "I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be. We've been dating for five years now, everybody loves him."
Gia also cited Christian's willingness to get to know her dad, who currently lives in the Bahamas, as a reason for why she loves him so much. "If he really didn't love me and want to be with me, he wouldn't care to travel the way to see my dad as many times a year as I do."
"He's so involved in our life, everything he does makes me happy," she said. "I'm never disappointed, he's so patient with me, even though I can be a little crazy."
"I've also never had as much fun as I do with him, there's all good sides," she concluded.
"I feel like you're in good hands," Teresa agreed.
