Teresa Giudice
Known for starring on The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ), Teresa Giudice has been a Bravolebrity since 2009. Born to Italian immigrants, Giudice was raised in New Jersey where she earned a degree in Fashion Marketing and Management from Berkeley College.
Giudice went on to work in the fashion industry and eventually married her childhood friend and entrepreneur Joe Giudice. The couple share four daughters — Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana — and called it quits in December 2019 after 20 years of marriage. They finalized their divorce in September 2020.
In October 2009, Teresa and Joe filed for bankruptcy, citing an $11 million debt. The twosome entered a guilty plea to 41 counts of fraud in 2014. Teresa served 11 months of her 15-month sentence the following year.
Teresa is the last-remaining original cast member of RHONJ, starring in a total of 13 seasons. She is known for being an instigator and having a heated temper, and she has developed feuds with the other Housewives, including Bethenny Frankel from Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York. Most memorably, Teresa flipped a dinner table on the reality show.
Apart from her time on Bravo, Teresa has coauthored three successful cookbooks: Skinny Italian (2010), Fabulicious (2011) and Fabulicious!: Fast & Fit (2012). She has also appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice and Dancing with the Stars.
Teresa began dating Luis Ruelas in July 2020. They got engaged in October 2021 and got married the following August.
