There is only one daughter left at home for The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice, and the mom of four is “cherishing” every moment.
As Teresa explained in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish during the BravoCon 2025 weekend in Las Vegas, the youngest of four, 16-year-old Audriana Giduice, is now driving. And, although Teresa’s oldest, Next Gen NYC’s Gia Giudice, already weighed in on her baby sis obtaining her learner’s permit, Teresa said she’s happy to be along for the ride.
As she explained, “My youngest is 16, and she’s a junior, and so I’m just cherishing all my moments with her because, in one year, she gets her license, and then she’s actually going to be like, ‘Bye, mom!’”
“Like, I love our car rides,” the proud mom continued. “We take her to school in the morning, and then pick her up after school because I, you know, that’s when we bond and she tells me things. So, I love that.”
In the meantime, Audriana continues “practicing” so that she can serve as her mom’s chauffeur. “Yeah, she’s kind of scared,” Teresa admitted. “I’m like, ‘Honey, I’ll get you as many lessons as you want. No worries.’”
Audriana Giudice’s latest academic achievement
Earlier this year, Audriana was inducted into the National Honor Society at her high school, eliciting support not just from her mom but also from her father, Joe Giudice, and stepfather, Luis “Louie” Ruelas.

Joe, who continues living in The Bahamas following his 2019 deportation, took to Instagram to celebrate Audriana’s achievement, sharing a few father-and-daughter pics and stating, “You’ve grown into such a smart, driven, and kind young woman,” in part. “I’m so proud to be your dad.”
Louie wrote, “Congratulations, Audriana,” when sharing a video from the high school ceremony on his Instagram Stories. Of Audriana’s older sisters — who include Gia, Gabriella Giudice, and Milania Giudice — Milania also used Instagram to show her love and support.

Teresa’s kids keep growing, and she’ll be an empty nester before she knows it. With Gia living on her own in Jersey City, Gabriella attending the University of Michigan, and Milania off at the University of Tampa, Audriana’s high school graduation will mark a milestone in Teresa’s plans to seek warmer weather.

“Well, Audriana wants to go to college in Florida … and Milania is in Florida, [and] I hate the cold weather. I mean, I love Jersey, but not in the winter,” Teresa explained at BravoCon 2025.
It’s not the first time Teresa has toyed with the idea of moving to the Sunshine State. In fact, she playfully expressed interest in joining The Real Housewives of Miami with longtime pal Alexia Nepola during the Passing the Bravo Torch panel on Nov. 14.
“Now it’s only four of us in our house … and it’s a huge house, and it’s, like, only the four of us,” Teresa said. “So, we’ll see what happens. Like when Audriana moves out and goes to college, you know?”
