The confession came after she was asked for her thoughts on fans' tendency to point out the similarities between the two. "I've been called that a lot and I actually think it's a compliment because I happen to know her and we've become very good friends," Alexia explained. "I know she's very passionate — so she's like me in that way — but she has such a good heart."

Alexia added that The Real Housewives of New Jersey O.G. is also a "great mom," and that they have lots in common. One such example? They've both been cast members on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Teresa appeared during Season 1, and Alexia will make her debut on the series when Season 3 premieres.
