Go Inside Teresa and Joe Giudice's Reunion, Along with Daughters and Louie Ruelas, in the Bahamas (PICS)
The Real Housewives of New Jersey exes had a reunion for the books — and Jennifer Aydin was involved, too
At BravoCon 2023 in November, Teresa Giudice shared an update on Joe Giudice. "My ex-husband Joe is doing great, he's living in the Bahamas," The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member said. "As a matter of fact, we're going to spend New Year's Eve with him, so we're all going with the family. It was [my husband Luis "Louie" Ruelas'] idea, it was really nice. The girls are so excited that we're gonna be together."
That's right: This holiday season, Teresa, Joe, their four daughters, and Teresa's current husband all met up in a tropical climate. Plus, another Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member came along for the ride. Teresa's bestie, Jennifer Aydin, wouldn't have missed the fun!

Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice reunite with their daughters in the Bahamas
In his December 29 Instagram Stories, Joe shared the sweetest snaps you'll see all day. One pic showed him standing in the middle of all four of his daughters, with a decked-out Christmas tree as the backdrop. In the next photo, the family matriarch had joined the crew. Teresa looked festive and elegant in a floor-skimming, black-and-white gown.

The good times didn't end there. In his own Instagram Stories, Louie shared a snap of him and Joe hanging out and smiling wide. Their camaraderie has been established before. Back in June, Joe shared his feelings about Louie in a podcast interview. The RHONJ dad said he considered him to be a “nice guy.”
In fact, Teresa and Louie have visited Joe in the Bahamas in the past. Before Louie and Teresa got married in August 2022, Louie traveled to the Caribbean to meet Joe face-to-face. Teresa talked 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.”
Jennifer Aydin and her family join Teresa Giudice in the Bahamas
As mentioned, Jennifer also came along for the Bahamian getaway, and she brought her family with her. In one of Gia Giudice's Instagram Stories from the trip, she offered a glimpse of Jennifer looking glam at a festive dinner. (See the pic above.)
Jennifer and her crew have hung out with Joe in the Bahamas before. Back in April, Jennifer documented the trip on Instagram, as did Joe, who shared a video of the entire group out to dinner on April 5.
“Hey, Bill, how are ya, buddy?!” Joe said in the clip, prompting Bill to turn to the camera and jokingly declare, “I’m moving to the island with Joe. That’s right. Paradise, it’s called!”
