Teresa Giudice’s “baby girl” has reached another milestone.
It feels like just yesterday fans were introduced to Audriana Giudice in The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 2, which documented her 2009 birth, first days at home, and over-the-top baptism. Well, Teresa’s little bundle of joy is all grown up and officially hitting the road.
Gia Giudice is in disbelief over Audriana Giudice’s recent milestone
This was revealed on Sunday, November 2, when Teresa’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, shared a glimpse at Audriana’s driving skills. Gia filmed the video from the backseat of a car, as Audriana drove through a narrow road with her hands perfectly positioned at 9 and 3 o’clock.
“Not Audriana driving,” the Next Gen NYC cast member captioned the Story. “I can’t believe she has her permit.”
Same, Gia. Same.

Audriana presumably secured her learner’s permit immediately after her 16th birthday back in August. Under New Jersey law, teens can receive a permit at 16 and earn a “probationary license” at 17. The probationary license, which comes with curfew and passenger restrictions, must be held for a year. Once a driver turns 18, they can obtain a basic New Jersey license with fewer limitations.

Audriana also received doting messages from her father, Joe Giudice, and stepdad, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, as well as her sisters Gia and Milania Giudice.

Although Audrina has a couple more years before she graduates from high school, the Jersey daughter is already thinking about her higher education. She revealed her plans and aspirations during a May appearance on Teresa’s Turning the Tables podcast, saying she wanted to head to Florida, ideally Miami, after high school.
“I’ve been kind of interested in cosmetology,” she said. “I remember when I was younger, I would always go with my mom when she would go get her Botox, and then she would be like, ‘Oh my god, I just spent so much money. They make so much money doing this.’ And I was like, ‘Wow, that’s a good job.’”
