The RHONJ daughter gave her honest thoughts while preparing to visit her dad in the Bahamas: "He's really happy."
Are wedding bells in Joe Giudice’s future? Gia Giudice isn’t counting on it.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter shared her thoughts in a recent episode of Namaste B$tches, the popular podcast series hosted by her mom, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Pfeister. Gia, who filled in for Teresa during the March 6 broadcast, spent the time discussing a wide range of family topics, most notably her relationship with her dad.

"I'm packing right now. I'm super excited," Gia said. "My sister Gabriella is there right now ... her and I are gonna spend a couple of days together and then I'm gonna spend a couple of days with my dad and then come home."
Gia said the last time she was in the Caribbean was during the holidays, but she and her sisters visit their dad on a regular basis.
“Summer gets a little hectic,” she told Melissa. “But during the [rest] of the year, we see each other so often. We’re seeing him for Easter and Christmas. And then whenever I can randomly get out there, I try to go out there… We roughly get out there four to five times a year.”
Gia Giudice confirms her dad is still in a relationship
Melissa went on to ask Gia about her father’s dating life and whether he was still romantically involved.
“Does he have a lady or ladies?” she asked the Jersey daughter.
“I don’t think he has ladies,” Gia said with a laugh. “But, yeah, he definitely is seeing someone. She’s really sweet and he’s really happy, too. So that’s good.”
Gia addressed her dad's relationship during a 2023 interview with PEOPLE magazine, about three years after Teresa and Joe finalized their divorce. The aspiring attorney said she had met Joe’s girlfriend in the Bahamas and approved of the romance.
"He's been with this girl for a pretty long time," she told the outlet. "They seem really happy and she's awesome. I really like her a lot. So yeah, I would love to start meeting her family and seeing what happens."
Gia Giudice has some thoughts about her dad getting remarried
Melissa then wondered if Joe, like Teresa, would ever tie the knot again. Gia said she doesn’t see that happening as her dad appears to be in a really good place.
“I don’t think so,” she told her co-host. “Just in general, I feel in his life, if he’s content and he’s happy, that’s all he really wants. If he finds his partner that he wants to spend the rest of the duration of his life with, then I feel like he would just be content with that. I don’t really feel like he is really into doing the whole marriage thing all over again. I think he’s just living life out there, to be honest with you.”
She continued: “He’s kind of just, like, ‘Been there, done that. I’m happy. I’m content.’ My dad is very easy, so when he’s comfortable, he’s like, ‘What’s there to change?’”
Teresa Giudice meets Joe Giudice's new girlfriend in the Bahamas
Teresa met Joe's new girlfriend in late 2023 when she embarked on a family vacation to the Bahamas. The RHONJ OG confirmed the trip during a BravoCon 2023 panel, saying it was her husband Luis "Louie" Ruelas' idea.
“The girls are so excited that we’re gonna be together... so we’re gonna have a lot of fun for New Year’s Eve," Teresa said before referencing Joe's 2019 deportation. "I wish [Joe] well. I’m gonna meet his girlfriend, he’s had a few. So I’m happy for him… I wish one day he could come back to the United States because it wasn’t fair what happened to him. It was paperwork and I don’t think he should have gotten deported.”
