“They have an amazing relationship. There’s no animosity there,” Real Housewives of New Jersey star told Us Weekly on the Friday, February 26 episode of the “Getting Real with the Housewives” podcast. “They look like they have a mutual respect for each other and I feel like everything’s good.”
The former couple announced their split in December 2019 and both are in new relationships. Teresa is now dating Luis “Louie” Ruelas, while Joe is dating Daniela Fittipaldi.
Despite their divorce, the former couple, who share four daughters, Gia (20), Gabrielle (16), Milania (15), and Audriana (11), 11, still have each other's back. As seen in the Season 11 trailer of RHONJ, Teresa is seen defending her ex during an argument with her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.
Aydin explains why she sides with Teresa from defending the father of her children against the Gorgas.
“This is the father of her children. We can’t negate the years that they’ve been together. I feel like out of respect for her children and out of respect for the relationship that they had, she should defend him if she feels the need to,” Aydin explained. “I mean, she’s not going to sit here and praise Joe when he does something wrong, but if there is a situation where he deserves to be defended, I feel like it should come from Teresa. That’s, like, a no-brainer to me.”
Aydin also admits that she supports Teresa’s relationship with Ruelas, saying that “nothing seems to bother her” since the pair got together in December 2020.
“She just definitely seems a lot happier, but happy before too and was living her best life,” the Bravo star told Us Weekly. “With everything that she was going through, with everything she was handling, and of course, the death of her father was, I’m sure, very devastating to her. So I feel like this meeting of Louie couldn’t have come at a better time.”
