In the year since marrying The Real Housewives of New Jersey OG, Louie has consistently showered his wife with loving and supportive words. His official Instagram has become dominated by Teresa appreciation posts that have shed more light on their young marriage and blended families. The father of two continued that trend on Friday, October 20, when he posted another romantic message for the love of his life.

“I have looked at you in a million ways and LOVED you in each,” he captioned the Instagram. “Thinking of you always, my LOVE. You lift me up and hold me down, you make me smile when I’m feeling down. You bring me peace & I’m most happy to share my life with you.”

The post featured three photos of Teresa modeling pieces from the Shein x GiudiceGirls collaboration, a newly released fashion range that involved Teresa and her daughters Gia, Miliania, and Audriana.

Louie’s message garnered more than 1,000 “likes” and dozens of comments, one of which came from Teresa.

“Love you so much my [heart emoji],” she wrote.

The Jersey couple tied the knot in August 2022, nearly two years after Teresa finalized her divorce from her first husband, Joe Giudice. The ex-spouses share four daughters together and have maintained a healthy co-parenting relationship, even as Joe resides in the Bahamas full-time.

More than a year before the wedding, Louie traveled to the Caribbean to meet Joe face-to-face. Teresa spoke about the trip during a March 2021 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, explaining why her then-boyfriend was so eager to meet her ex-husband.

They’ve talked over the phone, and Louie wanted to go to the Bahamas and meet him,” she said, “which I thought that was, like, the most amazing thing ever, because he said he just wanted to talk to him and let him know that he’s not trying to take his place or anything… cause I have daughters.”

Joe shared his feelings about Louie in a podcast interview back in June. The Italian-born businessman said he didn’t know how Louie was portrayed on the RHONJ, but considered him to be a “nice guy.”

“I mean, he’s been nice to me. He’s called me, he’s been a man,” Joe said. “Even when he went as far as coming out here before they got married. He came out to let me know that he wanted to get married and everything, and he wanted, you know, I guess, my blessings. And I thought that was very nice.”

Months later, it appears the men are still on good terms, as Louie “liked” a recent Instagram photo of Joe and his oldest daughter, Gia.
