Jacqueline Laurita Addresses Those "Concerned" Teresa Is "Using" Her: "Everyone Relax"
The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum is "living blissfully" in California while maintaining her East Coast bond with Teresa Giudice.
When Jacqueline Laurita left The Real Housewives of New Jersey in Season 7, she left on bad terms with her longtime friend, Teresa Giudice.
However, after spending years apart, the former friends reunited in Las Vegas in February 2023, where they buried the hatchet and rekindled their friendship. Although she now lives in California, Jacqueline has kept in touch with Teresa, appearing on her podcast, and maintaining their long-distance friendship.
Jacqueline Laurita says her friendship with Teresa Giudice is "thriving"
Jacqueline told OK! Magazine shut speculation that Teresa is using her to gain favor. She stated tating that she "couldn't care less" what people think of their friendship. "We are enjoying ourselves," she said. "To the people that are genuinely concerned that Teresa is using me and/or that she'll hurt me again, I appreciate your concern but please stop worrying!" Jacqueline said, noting that their friendship is now "thriving."

Does Jacqueline Laurita want to return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey?
Now that she is living on the California coast, the short answer is no. And she isn't rekindling her friendship with Teresa again because she wants a spot on the cast of Housewives. "We are at different stages in our lives and we live across the country from each other," she added, noting that she is "living blissfully in California."
Where does Jacqueline Laurita live in California?
It sounds like Jacqueline's choice to live in Orange County, California, with her husband Chris Laurita and their kids has been so great for her. During a June appearance on Teresa's podcast, Turning the Tables, Jacqueline opened up about the "major change" she's made since moving — she's now a bit of a social butterfly.
"I have been going out more here than I have anywhere else in my entire life," Jacqueline told Teresa on the pod. "Now we go out all the time."
