Andy Cohen teased a “first” for The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 15. After announcing the returning cast members earlier this year, Andy is very pleased with how Teresa Giudice has been enjoying herself this season.
Andy took to Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Wednesday, July 22, where he addressed Teresa’s oldest daughter, Next Gen NYC cast member Gia Giudice, who was sitting in the audience. It was here that he made a major statement about RHONJ Season 15 that she agreed with. “Gia, I can’t believe it, but your mom might be having fun filming her show for the first time in the history of the Housewives of New Jersey,” he said.
“That’s a very true statement,” Gia replied with a laugh. “But she’s having so much fun.”
“I’m thrilled,” Andy noted. Although he didn’t share anything else about the new season, his and Gia’s enthusiasm for Teresa already says so much.

Teresa went into filming RHONJ Season 15 after reconciling with her sister-in-law and fellow RHONJ cast member Melissa Gorga, and brother, Joe Gorga, after their long-standing feud. Andy spoke with Variety in June, where he admitted that their reconciliation really turned things around for them, and noted how now was the right time to pick up cameras.
“They actually have [reconciled] and I do believe it,” he told the publication. “You know, this happened months ago, and we decided not to film anything because, frankly, we’ve seen Melissa — and we’ve seen Joe and Teresa — make up before. We were like, ‘Great, if you’re going to do this, go for it!’ And they lived it for many months. I remember talking to Gia at BravoCon [2025], and she looked me in the eye, and she was telling me things that they had been doing as a family, and she was emotional about having her uncle back and her cousins back. And I was like, ‘OK, good. This is real.'”

We have gone through, this has been a long and winding road to get to this place and I’m very excited. What we owe you is a good show, so that’s what we want to deliver.”
