For longtime The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans who have watched Teresa Giudice's daughters grow up, we have news that may be hard to believe: Milania Giudice is 18! 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Milania officially entered adulthood on February 2, and to ring in her special day, Teresa made sure she had an amazing meal the night before. 

Milania Giudice's 18th birthday dinner at home with Teresa

In a February 1 Instagram Story, Teresa cooked dinner in her kitchen (for a full look at the kitchen, check out the video above) and noted the meal was in honor of the almost-birthday girl. "Making escarole with beans, Milania's favorite," Teresa said in the Instagram Story clip, showing in a separate Story photo that she was also cooking chicken. 

The Giudice family loves to go all out for birthdays (ICYMI: Gia Giudice recently turned 23 with a cozy family dinner at home, multiple gorgeous cakes, and a fun night out with friends), so while we're sure this is just the beginning of Milania's celebrations, it looked like the most delicious kick-off.
