In a recent Instagram post, Teresa Giudice’s daughter Milania Giudice made her feelings for her stepfather crystal clear. The April 23 share featured a carousel of images depicting The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter with Luis “Louie” Ruelas.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/9c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

The pics showed the stepfather-stepdaughter duo posing in front of a luxe birthday cake, heading into a cute doughnut shop, and enjoying fun family outings together. And in her heartfelt caption, Milania provided more insight into her relationship with Louie. 

“Happy birthday [Louie]! Thank you for being the best stepdad anyone could ever ask for,” the 17-year-old wrote. She added: “You truly are the best with the best spirit and soul. I love you.” 

Louie proposed to Teresa in Greece in October 2021. The lavish setting included candles, rose petals, and an illuminated sign that read “Marry me.” As we know, she said yes, and the couple met at a flower-strewn altar in New Jersey less than a year later. At the August 2022 wedding, Milania served as a bridesmaid alongside her sisters GiaGabriella, and Audriana. And it seems the blended family has lived happily ever after. 

Milania also remains close with her dad, Joe Giudice, and recently spent time with him at his home in the Bahamas. While she was there, she posed with her pops for a selfie that featured him wearing a rather cheeky T-shirt. In big letters, it spelled out “Best. Joe. Ever.” 

Joe wanted to make sure his message was clear. “Read my shirt,” he captioned the post, which garnered comments from both Milania and Gia. “Hahahahhahah,” Gia wrote. Milania simply wrote: “I love youuuu” and “miss you.”

Last December, Joe opened up about his ex-wife’s new beau. Appearing on Teresa’s podcastNamaste B$tches, the father of four said he could tell how in love Teresa is with her new husband. He also revealed that he is “happy” Teresa has found love again. 

Joe also told podcast co-host Melissa Pfeister that Louie had reached out to him to discuss how serious his relationship with Teresa had become. “I was OK with it, to be honest with you,” Joe said. “I mean, look, she’s got to be happy, you know what I mean?” 

As Milania’s bond with her stepdad deepens, she’s also becoming super close with his son. In March, Milania and her stepbrother Louie Jr. hit the slopes for a fun ski day. Louie’s son reposted photos from the day on his Instagram Stories, adding a “Love ya” message for his stepsister. He then commented, “Always a fun time with you,” on Milania’s post.

Teresa also commented on the pic, writing, “Love you both so much.” In another comment, she dashed off four red heart emojis, and Louie Sr. did the same.

Looks like it’s love, love, love all around!
