Making it work! Teresa Giudice opened up about the process of blending families with husband Luis “Louie” Ruelas after their wedding last year.
“It is an adjustment,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 50, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the show’s season 13 premiere. “Louie’s older son has autism, so that’s an adjustment for our family, and [we’re] doing a lot of charity work for the autism foundation. The girls are so amazing with him. … We love and adore him.”
The Turning the Tables author shares daughters Gia, 22, Gabriella, 19, Milania, 17, and Audriana, 14, with ex-husband Joe Giudice, whom she divorced in 2020. Louie, for his part, shares sons Nicholas and Louie Jr. with ex-wife Marisa Dimartino Ruelas, whom he divorced in 2013.
Teresa added that watching her daughters interact with their stepbrothers has renewed her confidence in her motherhood skills. “As a mom, you never know if you’re doing a great job,” the cookbook author explained to Us. “But then looking at my girls to see how they interact with Nicholas, I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, thank you, God. I’m doing a great job.'”
The Ultimate Girls Trip alum and Louie, 48, tied the knot in August 2022 after two years together. The businessman popped the question in November 2021 while the couple were on vacation in Greece.
“My Fiancé you are such a beautiful person inside and out,” Teresa wrote via Instagram at the time. “I love everything about you, especially your heart and the way you treat me and my daughters. You are amazing in so many ways one thing I admire about you is what a great Dad you are. I am so lucky to have found you thank you for coming into my life. I know my parents sent you to me from that day I prayed to them on Bay Blvd. I adore you
