Teresa Giudice is “so grateful” and “so happy” to have reunited with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga. The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom of four recently revealed that she had met up with Joe and Melissa before and at BravoCon 2025, and just shared the best part about this meet-up.
Teresa spoke with The Daily Dish at BravoCon where she admitted that she is so excited for her and her daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana Giudice, to reunite with Joe and Melissa’s three kids — Antonia Gorga, Gino Gorga, and Joey Gorga. “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 admitted.
“And I love my nephews,” she continued. “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,” she concluded.

“The future looks amazing because we met with each other,” she admitted. “I met with my brother first, and then after the four of us met, Louie and I and my brother and Melissa. And thank God, it went amazing. So well. And I’m all about family. If you really knew me, you would know I’m all about family. I have one brother. He’s my only family. I lost my parents, so he’s all I have.”

Melissa shared more about the reunion during the Bravo’s Holiday Spectacular episode of BravoCon Live with Andy Cohen. “It’s a Christmas miracle, Andy,” she said during the episode.

And to see the relief in Joe’s eyes, it’s all that matters to me.”
