RHONJ Stars Dolores Catania, Jackie Goldschneider And Melissa Gorga Share Their Thoughts On Teresa Giudice’s Relationship With New Boyfriend Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas!

Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Dolores Catania, Jackie Goldschneider, and Melissa Gorga reveal how they feel about Teresa Giudice’s new boyfriend, Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas.

“I wish them happiness, and I hope everything’s great,” Gorga told Us Weekly. “But it’s new. It’s the beginning, so you never know. He seems like a nice guy, so we’ll see what happens.”

Gorga shared that she and her husband, Joe Gorga, “went on a couple double dates” with Teresa and Ruelas when Teresa “was actually just getting to know” her now-boyfriend.

“It’s been nice to be able to, like, double date with her again because we haven’t done that in forever,” Melissa said.

Catania appears to be the most excited for Teresa, calling Giudice’s new relationship “hot” and “crazy” after years of personal and legal ups and downs.

“When you find a man to be gentle with you and you’ve been so hard your whole life — you’ve had to survive, you’ve detached yourself from things and you can’t get emotional because then you’re not going to survive walking into a jail or you’re not going to survive a crazy divorce — you have to detach your feelings,” Catania told Us Weekly. “We’re going to see a different side of Teresa after all of this.”

Goldschneider shared that Bravo viewers can expect to see Teresa in a different light in the upcoming season before throwing a little shade her co-star’s way. “I think only unhappy people do bad things, so I’m hoping that if she’s a happy person, she’ll do less bad things,” Jackie told Us Weekly, noting that she has not met Ruelas yet.

In December 2020, Giudice and Ruelas became Instagram official with the Bravo reality star saying her boyfriend was the “best thing” to come out of 2020.

Earlier this month, a source told the publication that the pair are “taking their time” following Teresa’s split from Joe in December 2019. “They both genuinely like each other and have a great relationship,” the insider said.

Teresa was previously married to Joe for 20 years before the pair announced their split in December 2019. They finalized their divorce nearly a year later in September 2020. The exes share four daughters, Gia (20), Gabriella (16), Milania (15), and Audriana (11).
