Before sharing photos of herself with Giudice and her family online, Melissa opened up about where things stood with her and the "RHONJ" OG on the first day of BravoCon, according to The Blast.

"We are in a different place we than we were a couple months ago. Let's just say that… everybody’s working on it. We're working on it. We're trying to move forward, and we've, you know, hashed a lot of things out privately without all of this. And I think that's a good thing," she said.

While things between the pair seemed to reach a boiling point during season 14 of the long-running reality series, Melissa admitted she's happy they found their way back to each other when they did.

"Whatever it takes to wake someone up is, you know, that's how life goes, right? And you never want it to be a funeral or a wedding or someone in the hospital. Like, that's not what we want. So, this was a more of a natural reason," she said.

Melissa also explained that part of her reconciliation with Giudice had to do with their kids, who are all cousins and grew up in front of Bravo cameras.

"We just want to fix it, and we want to get back together. And for the kids, you know, we have little kids that are, you know, teenagers too, that are watching this, and behavior repeats itself. And that's never what I want to see happen," Melissa said.

Giudice echoed those sentiments during an interview of her own, admitting her oldest daughter, Gia, challenged her to move forward with her family during their time filming another reality series for the Fox network.

"Be a beautiful family," the mother of four said. "If someone doesn’t get along, be the bigger person. Try to make it work. I’ve got to practice what I preach."

Giudice has feuded with Melissa and Joe Gorga for more than a decade on the Jersey iteration of the highly successful franchise. However, after cutting each other off in 2024, Giudice admitted to E! News that she could no longer hold a grudge and even shared some advice for Bravo fans watching her story.

"Life's too short, so if you have a brother or sister, make sure that if you don't speak to them, that you reach out to them," she said. "Sometimes things happen in life, but you have to let the past go. Talk about it and then let it go."
