After years of estrangement, Teresa Giudice has reunited with her brother, Joe Gorga, and sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. And, in case you’re wondering how Melissa is feeling about it, she is speaking up about The Real Housewives of New Jersey family’s reunion.
She took to Instagram on November 15 (on Day 2 of BravoCon 2025), to weigh in on the family reunion, which made headlines amid BravoCon weekend in Las Vegas. “Don’t question it – Just support it,” Melissa shared on Instagram, alongside a photo of herself with her husband, Joe, as well as Teresa, Teresa’s husband Luis “Louie” Ruelas, and her niece, Gia Giudice. The photo was taken at BravoCon this year in Las Vegas. She added the hashtag “family.”
In the comments, Gia commented, “So happy… gorgeous fam.”
Louie also took to the comments, adding the hashtag “Team Family.” He also commented, “LOVE you guys.”
Melissa also addressed the family’s reconciliation on the Housewife2Housewife: Legacy & Newbies panel on Sunday, Nov. 16, during BravoCon weekend. She shared with the room that “when you hit absolute rock bottom [in family situations]… there is a way back eventually.”
She went on to clear up any misconceptions about the reunion: “I know… there’s a lot of doubt… I understand there’s a lot of questions,” but she went on to say how emotional it was to see Joe’s “relief” upon reconnecting with his sister.
“The relief on my husband’s face when he came home from that conversation is all I needed to see,” she said. She went on to add, “It feels really good.”
Teresa Giudice sheds light on reuniting with her brother, Joe Gorga
On Friday, Nov. 14, Teresa revealed that she and Joe Gorga had met up at an undisclosed time before BravoCon weekend and were working on their relationship after years of estrangement. “So things are, you know, in a good place,” she admitted on the Reunion Round-Up panel on Friday. “I talked to my brother, first — because I thought that was only right — he was like, really happy to see me. I was happy to see him.”
She continued, “At first, he didn’t want to meet there; he said, ‘That’s weird.’ I’m like, ‘No, it’s not weird.’ Because I didn’t want anybody to take photos of us or anything like that. “If you’re there, it’s peaceful. So if you want to get mad, you can’t. Not that we did.”
She shared a similar sentiment on the Yep, We’re Besties! panel on the same day, sharing, “I don’t know if everyone heard, but my brother and Melissa, we have talked. And things are going in the right direction.”

Also at BravoCon 2025, during the November 14 Jersey Boys panel, Joe opened up about reconnecting with his sister. “We spoke. Yes,” Joe said. “You know what we need from the Bravo family? We need the Bravo family to put us together. There are no more teams because it’s been too long, and it’s sad. It really is.”
During the event, the family continued to cross paths at different events. He added, “I want her in my life. I want my nieces in my life. We need to be together. We met, and it was really sentimental, and it was nice.”
