Real Housewives of New Jersey fans were rooting for Teresa Giudice to find love after divorcing Joe Giudice. Enter Luis Ruelas. While their relationship moved quickly, it also caused her brother, Joe Gorga, and her co-stars to question Luis and some supposed red flags. Well, Teresa is now sharing what it was like to meet Luis and what her daughters thought of their relationship.

Recently, Luis and Teresa have also made news of the financial variety. And … it isn’t good. The duo owes nearly $3 million in taxes. Plus, Luis requested an extension on a loan that he took out on their home in Montville, New Jersey. So, Luis was granted an extension on the $1 million loan, which is now due in March 2026. He was also given an additional $250,000.
Well, Teresa discussed her relationship with Luis on her podcast, Turning the Tables by Teresa Giudice. She talked about meeting Luis with Monique Kelly, who is a relationship expert. “I really didn’t want the world to know right away. I just … wanted to keep him private, especially because I wanted to protect Louie,” Teresa explained.
Then, the RHONJ star discussed how dating in the public eye is tough. “I just kept talking to Louie. He calmed me down, because I used to be, I have that Italian fiery temper,” Teresa stated, “and he just calmed me down. It is hard.”
Although Teresa’s four daughters are still close to their dad, Joe, they also bonded with Luis. “My kids even say, like, ‘Mommy, you and daddy really don’t … I could see you with Louie.’ They’re like, ‘We see you with Louie, not with daddy,'” Teresa said. “They even say it, yeah.”
I’m sure that Teresa and Luis are crossing their fingers that when RHONJ is taken off pause, Teresa will be part of the cast. After all, this couple has some steep bills to pay off.
