Teresa Giudice Reflects On Most Cherished ‘Milestones’ Ahead Of Franchise’s 20th Anniversary

Teresa Giudice is grateful for her time on Bravo's "Real Housewives of New Jersey."

According to the veteran reality star, the cameras captured many major "milestones" she's happy to look back on.

Teresa Giudice joined "RHONJ" during season 1 in 2009, and she's one of the rumored Housewives to be joining a new spin-off celebrating the franchise's 20th anniversary.

Speaking with PEOPLE at the premiere of Cirque Du Soleil LUDÕ at VidantaWorld in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Giudice expressed her gratitude to "RHONJ" for chronicling many important moments in her life.

"I had my daughter on season 2. I love that I can look back and see videos of my parents. They're no longer here with me, so I love that I can see that," she said. "There are so many milestones. Gia graduating eighth grade, they showed that, graduating high school, going to college. There are so many milestones that there are too many to name."

Continuing, Giudice pointed to other amazing moments that were featured on the show, including her marriage to Luis Ruelas.

"It's been a long time. I got married on there. That was like the most recent huge milestone. I've done a lot. Had a baby, graduation, my parents, got married. There are so many things," she said.

Indeed, the Bravo wedding special showcased Giudice's lavish ceremony at the Park Chateau Estate & Gardens in East Brunswick, New Jersey. "I wanted everybody to walk in and be wowed, like, ‘Oh my god, this is spectacular,’" she said, according to Bravo's Daily Dish. "And that’s what they did when they walked in. They were wowed."

Giudice's statements about her time on "RHONJ" come ahead of the franchise's upcoming 20th anniversary.

At BravoCon 2025, Andy Cohen announced a spin-off, "The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip," in honor of the epic achievement.

"For two decades, the 'Real Housewives' has amplified women’s voices, spotlighted their ambition, humor, and strength, inspiring millions with their unapologetic authenticity," Frances Berwick, chairman of Bravo and Peacock Unscripted, said.

"'The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip' is a love letter to the women who turned a reality television show into a cultural phenomenon — and the fans who’ve been there for every laugh, gasp, toast, and table turn."

While the cast has not been announced, Giudice is rumored to be one of the many "Housewives" OGs taking part.

According to a previous report from The Blast, Giudice has officially ended her years-long feud with her brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Melissa Gorga.

Giudice explained during a podcast appearance that she decided to mend fences with her brother after speaking with her daughter, Gia Giudice, on "Special Forces." She stated that she wanted to lead by example and show her children that nothing should come between family.

"If someone doesn’t get along, be the bigger person. Try to make it work. I’ve got to practice what I preach," she said.

At BravoCon, Melissa opened up about her relationship with Giudice, admitting she was hopeful for the future.

"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.

"RHONJ" has been on hiatus since August 2024, and fans have been begging Cohen and other cast members for some sort of update.

Cohen crushed Jersey fans' dreams during a 2024 interview, however, saying there wouldn't be any announcement for quite a while.

"You're not gonna get it for, like, a year, so everyone stop asking," he said to Us Weekly. "And I keep saying you are going to get nothing, so stop asking!"

Season 14 of "RHONJ" finished airing with Giudice, Melissa, Dolores Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral, Jackie Goldschneider, and Jennifer Fessler.
