Teresa Giudice Reveals New Insight Into Her Relationship with Luis Ruelas: "It Is Hard..."

The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice is sharing a peek inside her marriage to Luis "Louie" Ruelas.

After her divorce from ex-husband, Joe Giudice, Teresa Giudice was able to find love again. The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom is currently happily married to her husband, Luis "Louie" Ruelas, and is now revealing how she was able to open her heart up after the demise of her 20 year marriage.

Teresa took to her podcast, Turning the Tables by Teresa Giudice on March 26, where she spoke with relationship expert, Monique Kelly, and revealed some brand-new details about her current marriage to Louie. Teresa opened up about meeting Luis later in life  (she was 48-years-old when she met Luis at the Jersey Shore for the very first time). She also admitted that she had tried to keep their relationship private when they started dating back in 2020.

"I really didn't want the world to know right away," she said. "I just, I wanted to keep him private, especially because I wanted to protect Louie."

Teresa continued noting that she and Louie were able to work through navigating their relationship in the public eye, and emerged stronger because of it. "I just kept talking to Louie," she said. "He calmed me down, because I used to be, I have that Italian fiery temper, and he just calmed me down. It is hard."

Teresa Giudice says her daughters are supportive of her marriage

Although Teresa's four daughters are still very close to their father, Joe Giudice, who lives in the Bahamas, she admitted that they are very supportive of her marriage to Louie as well. "My kids even say, like, 'Mommy, you and daddy really don't...I could see you with Louie,'" she said. "They're like, 'We see you with Louie, not with daddy.' They even say it, yeah."

Teresa Giudice admits dating was hard before she met Luis "Louie" Ruelas

During the podcast, Teresa also admitted that she has never joined a dating app, as she met Louie organically. But, meeting people out and about was not easy. "Just because I'm in the public eye. Let me tell you, it was hard," she admitted. "Like, no guys ever came up to me."

"I'm always in a happy mood," she continued. "I don't know. Maybe they were intimidated, but when I used to go out, not too many guys would come up to me."

However, she would be open to starting her own dating app because she is such a romantic and loves watching dating shows. "I want to start a dating app. I want to start it," she said. "I went to get people together and I love when people find love. You know? And I love bringing love, love, love together. I do."
