Joe Giudice is ‘happy’ ex-wife Teresa has a new boyfriend who’s ‘already met’ their four daughters

The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Joe Giudice is ‘happy’ his ex-wife Teresa has a new boyfriend, who’s ‘already met’ their four daughters – according to TMZ.

The 48-year-old reality star has been dating Digital Media Solutions co-founder Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas – a 46-year-old father-of-two – ever since they met on the Jersey shore in September.

The Saronno-born 48-year-old noted that she is ‘equally happy to know he’s moving on too’ with a mystery attorney, who’s ‘a fan’ of Teresa’s.  

‘What’s [Teresa] going to do, stay alone forever? That’s not fair,’ Joe (born Giuseppe) told E! News on October 24.

‘Look, if I would have got out and I would have been able to go home, who knows what would happen? Maybe we’d still be in the same situation, maybe not. I don’t know. Things change after so many years.’

The amicable exes finalized their divorce on September 2 after a nine-month legal separation and 20 years of marriage – according to People.

Giudice has been busy bonding with his 14-year-old daughter Milania and 19-year-old daughter Gia, who arrived in his native Italy for a visit on November 4.    

On Wednesday, the Zalo USA founder and sofa wholesaler shared a cute video of himself dancing with Milania to Italian music.

‘It would be nice if all four came but [11-year-old Audriana]’s got dance and [16-year-old] Gabriella is very on top of her game, she doesn’t like to miss anything,’ Joe told E! News.

‘Which is understandable. I FaceTime with them all the time. I talk to Teresa all the time, too. You know, we’re okay. It is what it is…We wanna set something up for Christmas, we’re talking maybe meeting at an island. Hopefully everything opens up.’

On Wednesday morning, Giudice (born Gorga) worked out in the gym with her fitness trainer Patrice Vignola. 

The amateur boxer has also been training 3-4 hours a day for his Celebrity Boxing match against Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband #1 Ojani Noa happening later this year at Tiki Bikini Hut in Nassau, Bahamas.

The tax-evading pair were originally sentenced in October 2014 for bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.

Joe was deported in October 2019 after completing his three-year sentence at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution.

And Teresa – formerly known as FCI Danbury inmate No. 65703-050 – completed her own 11-month sentence for 41 counts of fraud in December 2017.
