Teresa Giudice is completely over the moon in her relationship with boyfriend Luis Ruelas.

According to a May 14 report from In Touch Weekly,  the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" cast member, who went public with the romance last year after her divorce was made final, finally feels that she has her life back.

“After all she’s been through, prison and her divorce from [Joe Giudice], she feels like she’s finally bounced back and gotten her life back,” an insider told the magazine.

“She says meeting Luis was a gift from God and she feels like the luckiest girl in the world," the source continued.

Although Giudice has been dating Ruelas for the past several months, fans weren't introduced to him on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" until last week's season 11 finale.

“Getting back out in the dating world is really hard for me. I was married for almost 20 years,” Giudice, who shares four daughters with ex Joe, said in a cast confessional during the show.

“So, when I first met Louie, I was nervous. It was like, very slow, baby steps,” Giudice continued in the cast confessional. “Our third date he gave me a kiss goodbye and that’s when I was like, ‘Mmm that was nice.’ I got butterflies.”

According to Giudice, she was afraid to fall in love because it's hard for her to trust people due to her celebrity status. 

“I love that Louie gets me, and I have always wanted that,” she said of Ruelas as the show went on.

Giudice went on to say that while she didn't know what the future would hold for her and Ruelas, she was excited about their relationship. 

 “And it’s so crazy because I don’t know what the future holds, but this is the best I’ve felt in a really long time,” she gushed.

Also during the episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," Ruelas said that he was in it for the "long haul" with Giudice. 

"My plan is to, you know, I want to be with her ’til her boobs sag to the floor,” he joked.
