Milania Giudice Reveals How She *Really* Feels About Her Stepfather, Louie Ruelas
Teresa’s daughter also shared how she really felt about Louie wearing Nonno’s pajamas.
When Teresa Giudice tied the knot with Luis “Louie” Ruelas in August 2022, the businessman became a stepfather to her four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana.
Longtime fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will know how close Milania has always been with her dad, Joe Giudice (who resides in the Bahamas), so did she welcome Louie into her life right away?
Teresa and Joe’s second youngest appeared on the July 5 episode of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip alum’s podcast, Namaste B$tches, and she weighed in on what it’s like to have Louie as a stepfather, and how she really felt about him wearing her Nonno’s pajamas.
Milania Giudice’s True Feelings About Her Stepfather, Louie Ruelas
The high school student gushed about her relationship with her businessman stepfather and his two sons, Nicholas and Louie Jr., on the podcast episode.
“I love him, he’s amazing. [I] got two stepbrothers now who are great. We live in a beautiful home, you know,” Milania said. “Just always have to look at the bright side of things.”
The teen then opened up about her close bond with Louie and shared that her father likes him as well.
“Louie is such a great stepdad. He really is. He’s an amazing stepdad. Come on, you guys know Joe. He’s Juicy Joe. You think he’s going to let anybody around his girls who he doesn’t like? No.”
She shared insight into Louie and Joe’s friendship as well. “Louie went to [the] Bahamas and had dinner with my father with all of us,” Milania said about how Joe first gained respect for Louie. “We had dinner all together.”
Milania reacts to Louie wearing Nonno’s pajamas
On RHONJ Season 13, Louie told his brother-in-law-to-be, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga, that he wore Teresa’s late father’s pajamas to sleep.
“I’m a good man,” Louie said on the show. “I live with your four nieces; I wear your father’s pajamas at night to make them feel safe and loving. Do you know that?”
The moment later got a lot of attention online and from a few of the RHONJ ladies themselves (though Louie and Teresa later clarified that the pajamas in question were new and had never actually been worn by Nonno before he passed away). Milania weighed in on the pajamas comment on her mom’s podcast.
“With Louie and the Nonno’s PJ[s] thing, that is still talked about. Yes, it was a little weird, but whatever. He didn’t mean it in that way. It’s whatever. Get over it, wrap it up,” she said. “Louie’s a great stepfather… What Louie has done for my sisters and I, I bet half of these men in this world would never do that. Louie is so amazing, and that’s what everyone doesn’t know.”
