Teresa Giudice Looking To Embrace Estranged Family Amid Marriage Struggles

Teresa Giudice is opening the door to a possible reconciliation with her brother Joe Gorga and his wife, Melissa Gorga, after years of public estrangement.

The reality star's new family stance comes after she openly admits that her marriage to Luis Ruelas has its own drama amid financial rumors.

Teresa Giudice's long-running family feud first exploded on "Real Housewives of New Jersey," where her clashes with Joe and Melissa fueled one of the franchise's most enduring rifts.

Teresa, who has been estranged from the couple for more than a decade, suggested there may be room for reconciliation, though she is keeping her cards close to her chest.

During a recent interview, she was asked whether she could ever see herself in the same room as Joe and Melissa without tension. Her response? "Never say never."

Her daughter, Gia, was even more direct, saying that everyone in the family could find a way to get along if they chose maturity over grudges.

Appearing on "Jeff Lewis Live," Teresa admitted that while she is not eager to revisit past arguments, which she said would only create chaos, she does believe moving forward is possible.

Still, when pressed on whether she would personally reach out to the Gorgas, she did not give a firm answer, instead saying, "We'll see what happens."

Teresa may not be rushing to fix things with her brother and sister-in-law, but she is opening up about challenges closer to home. The star shared a heartfelt post on Instagram about her marriage to Luis, and The Blast highlighted just how candid she was in expressing herself.

In the post, Teresa reflected on the ups and downs she and Luis have faced since tying the knot. She admitted their journey has not always been smooth, but made it clear how much she values his presence in her life.

"I know it hasn't been easy, but I just want you to know I see it all and how beautiful you are," she wrote, before ending with a simple, "Love you." Alongside her caption, Teresa shared photos of herself with Luis and praised him for being more than just a husband, calling him her "rock."

Teresa's emotional post about the struggles in her marriage with Luis came just as new details about the couple's finances began making the rounds.

The Blast reported that court filings show that Luis asked for more time to pay off a $1 million mortgage on their Montville, New Jersey, mansion. The U.S. Sun reviewed the documents, which reveal the maturity date has been pushed from March 2025 to March 2026.

The paperwork also shows that Luis secured an additional $250,000 loan as part of the extension, bringing the total up to $1.25 million. He agreed to pay a $5,000 fee to lock in the new terms.

For now, Luis is only required to make interest payments each month until the loan comes due in 2026. At that point, the entire balance, plus interest and any other charges, will need to be paid in full.

On top of extending the mortgage on their Montville home, the duo is also linked to millions of dollars in tax debt.

Public records show that Teresa and Luis reportedly owe several million dollars in unpaid taxes. The mother-of-four herself has a tax bill of just over $300,000, while Luis faces a lien of nearly $2.6 million.

In December 2024, he was also hit with another lien for more than $163,000, which was unresolved in New Jersey court filings.

The lovebirds' financial struggles came three years after they bought their sprawling Montville property for $3.35 million. The home includes seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a gym, atheater, and other luxury features.

While Teresa celebrates her current husband, her ex, Joe Giudice, is making headlines for a very different reason. The Blast highlighted Joe's emotional appeal to Trump, where he publicly asked for a chance to come back to the United States.

Joe, who was deported to Italy in 2019 after serving time for fraud, took to Instagram with a heartfelt message. He shared a series of family photos with his four daughters, emphasizing how much he misses being in their lives daily.

In his post, Joe explained, "I'm Joe Giudice. I served my time, and I've been deported from the U.S. for nearly a decade. I was raised in Jersey, I'm a father of four amazing daughters, and I just want to be allowed to visit them again."

He ended by tagging both Trump and Donald Trump Jr., stating his respect for the president while asking for what he called a "second chance."

If Teresa Giudice truly follows through, this could finally be the first real step toward peace in one of reality TV's most famous family feuds.
