After Teresa Giudice reunited with Melissa Gorga on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, she made a bold prediction about what’s ahead amid their recent reconciliation. More specifically, Teresa expressed her hopes for an “amazing” The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 15, since both she and Melissa had already been confirmed as returning cast members after mending fences.
How to Watch
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. EST. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
While perfecting her glam for Lisa Hochstein’s lingerie party in Miami during Episode 7 of RHUGT: Roaring 20th, Teresa’s makeup artist asked if anyone she hadn’t “seen in a while” was going to be there. In addition to former RHONJ castmate Jacqueline Laurita, Teresa named Melissa, before clarifying, “Well, I’ve seen her. We spent Christmas together.”
Teresa and Melissa’s friendlier dynamic was apparent when the two came face to face at the Miami bash. Melissa, for one, told Teresa that she looked “so cute,” before playfully asking her sister-in-law’s RHUGT castmate and new bestie Lisa Barlow if they were “having fun” traveling across the country together.
“Seeing my sister-in-law, Melissa, tonight, it feels good,” Teresa said in a RHUGT confessional. “Melissa and I are in a good place, so I’m hoping Season 15 is gonna be an amazing season. I’m putting it out there in the universe.”

How did Teresa Giudice reconcile with Melissa and Joe Gorga?
After years of feuding and estrangement, Teresa reconciled with sister-in-law Melissa and brother Joe Gorga in late 2025. Addressing the reason behind their family reunion, Teresa explained in a RHUGT producer interview, “I always tell my kids I always want them to get along. I never wanted my kids to say, ‘Don’t be a hypocrite, Mommy. You fought with your brother.’ So, I reached out to him, and, um, we’ve hung out a few times. We double dated. So, Melissa and I are in a good place.”
While promoting RHUGT during an Aug. 9 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Teresa further detailed how her experience of filming Special Forces with daughter Gia Giudice in 2025 had ultimately led to her reaching out to her brother, Joe. At the time, Gia had urged Teresa to “let the anger go” with ex-husband Joe Giudice, and the mom of four eventually did.
“I’m always thinking as a mom, what kind of lesson can I teach my daughters?” Teresa recalled on WWHL. “So, I’m like, I’m not fighting. I’m going to show her that I’m ending the fighting.”

After returning home to New Jersey, Teresa said she also started thinking about her brother, Joe, and decided to go a step further.
“So, I texted my brother and said, ‘Do you want to meet? Let’s meet together and let’s talk.’ And ever since that day, it’s been great,” she said, before also telling host Andy Cohen that shooting RHONJ Season 15 alongside Melissa and Joe had similarly been a “great” experience.
Where do Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga stand today?
Since filming RHUGT: Roaring 20th together in early 2026, Teresa and Melissa have continued to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at their rekindled relationship on social media and at various public events. In August, Melissa told E! News, “We were so proud that we were able to turn it around, and maybe we can be an example for people who never think they’re going to speak to their family members again.”
Indeed, Teresa and the Gorgas had previously revealed that they had reconnected during November 2025’s BravoCon. As mentioned, they went on to spend Christmas together, along with Teresa’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, and also made several joint public appearances, including at Melissa’s Let’s Sprinkle by MG launch party and a FIFA World Cup Match in June, as well as at August’s RHUGT: Roaring 20th premiere event.
More recently, Teresa shared an Instagram photo of an outing with Melissa, Joe, and Louie, on Sept. 5. She captioned the post with the Italian word for family and added a “love, love, love” hashtag.
