Following an epic family reunion at BravoCon 2025, The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Gorga and Giudice families are once again as tight as ever. The proof is in the pictures showing married couple Teresa Giudice and Luis “Louie” Ruelas out to dinner with Teresa’s little brother, Joe Gorga, and sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga.
The foursome recently enjoyed an Italian dinner in New Jersey — indulging in fine foods like calamari and wine over white tablecloths and dim lighting, as seen in the Housewives’ respective Instagram Stories. The couples were all smiles, and in one moment shared on Instagram Stories, they all raised a toast to one another.

The sit-down marks a move in a positive direction following years of estrangement, not just between siblings Teresa and Joe and their respective partners, but also for the children. As fans will recall, BravoCon 2025 marked the end of a family rift that lasted for several years. When Melissa shared a group photo of the family in glam during the weekend, she told her followers, “Don’t question it — Just support it.”

“I’m so grateful, and I’m so happy that, you know, because of all the attention, the kids haven’t seen each other,” she said. “I love my nephews. One of them is my godson, Gino. And Antonia is the only niece that I have on my brother’s side. So I have a lot of nieces on my other side, my ex-husband’s side. But she’s my blood. So, I want them in my life.”
During BravoCon weekend, Joe shared the sentiment, stating that he, too, wanted his nieces back in his life. “We need to be together,” he said at the Jersey Boys panel.
