There are several Mastro’s in California with locations in Beverly Hills, Malibu and Thousand Oaks.

It’s an unusual sight to see anyone inside a restaurant in California. California has been under strict lockdown for months. 

Not only are residents not allowed to dine inside restaurants, they also have not been able to dine outside restaurants. 

While a return to outdoor dining in Los Angeles will take place on Friday, even then diners have been asked to follow the usual coronavirus protocols such as not eating inside restaurants, socially distancing when outside and mask wearing when not eating. 

Teresa and Luis were seen at the Los Angeles airport LAX on Monday.

Teresa and Luis seemed to have a ball while in Los Angeles. 

On Sunday the lovebirds posed arm in arm in front of the famed Hollywood sign: ‘Hollywood with Boo’ she told her 2M Instagram followers.

The cookbook author also posed in the same location with two of her four daughters.

She had on a maroon bra top that flashed her toned tummy and added matching leggings with a dark jacket tied around her waist. The reality TV fixture added white sneakers and black ombre sunglasses. 

Her partner was in a tank top and shirts with dark sneakers. He too had on sunglasses as the Hollywood sign was seen behind them.

The lovebirds have been dating since the fall of 2020 and only went public in November.

They also spent the holidays together. They were side by side as they stood by a tall Christmas tree in the foyer of her New Jersey mansion which she once shared with ex-husband Joe Giudice.

The beauty had on a low-cut black dress with her raven hair down as she was glammed to the nines. Her new man was dapper in a dark suit as he put an arm around his lady love and held her hand. 

In her caption she said, ‘It’s official.’ 

She also said Luis was ‘the BEST thing that came out of 2020.’ 

In early November, the reality TV personality posted an image to her Facebook account to let her followers know that she was moving on and had met someone new; the caption for the post read: ‘Excited to reveal my new boyfriend.’ 

It was made known that month that Giudice had begun a relationship with Ruelas.  

Teresa was previously married to Giuseppe ‘Joe’ Giudice from 1999 until this year.

The former couple were heavily featured on The Real Housewives Of New Jersey and share four daughters.

In 2009, Joe and Teresa couple filed for bankruptcy, which set off a chain of legal battles culminating in the two being convicted for various forms of fraud.

Five years later, the two were handed prison sentences; Joe’s status as an illegal immigrant was also brought into question, as he had never gained citizenship despite living in the United States since he was a year old.

At the end of his time being incarcerated, Joe went to live with his family in Italy to await the results of his deportation hearing and subsequent appeals.

The Giudices separated in December of 2019, months after Joe was released, and finalized their divorce in September. 

The media personality’s former husband is reportedly both aware and supportive of her new relationship.
