It seems like just yesterday that Teresa Giudice’s daughter Milania Giudice started high school. But alas, The Real Housewives of New Jersey teen kicked off her freshman year back in 2020, and she’s already made it through her junior year. You know what that means: It’s time to start thinking about college (yes, for this little cutie pie). And based on Teresa’s latest Instagram Stories, Milania already has at least one spot in mind.

How to Watch

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

In her June 5 Instagram Stories, Teresa shared a snap of a banyan tree and geotagged St. Petersburg, Florida. She also tagged her traveling companions in the Sunshine State: Milania and her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas. What were Tre and company doing amid the banyan trees, you ask? The next posts provided more context. 

Teresa’s next photo, shared from Louie’s Instagram feed, offered a peek inside the University of Tampa. Another post displayed some Tampa pride, showing off a plaque of the university’s mascot, the Spartan. Yet another post showed Milania checking out the school’s grounds. 

While rising high school senior Milania has some time to decide which school will be lucky to have her, Teresa’s other daughter Gabriella is off to the University of Michigan this fall. Meanwhile, eldest Giudice daughter Gia just graduated from Rutgers University.

Milania is next in line to leave the nest, and it looks like she may have a Florida address sometime soon. The family seemed to have a great time on their University of Tampa tour, from banyan trees to campus peeks.

Teresa Giudice’s Stepson Nicholas Turns 22

Milania isn’t the only New Jersey kid who’s growing up fast (and let’s be real, no longer a kid!). On the same day that he shared pics from Milania’s tour in Tampa, Louie shared a heartwarming tribute to his son Nicholas on his 22nd birthday. 

“Happy Birthday Handsome,” the proud dad wrote in his post. “WOW Nick you are 22 years old, can’t believe it! You are a ROCKSTAR my son in everything you do! I LOVE YOU so much and we are so excited to celebrate you this weekend.” Teresa chimed in too, writing “Love you so much” in the comments. 

Louie Ruelas Shares His Love for Milania

Aside from accompanying Milania on her college tour, Louie has shown his support in other ways. On the teenager’s recent birthday, her stepdad shared a heartfelt tribute to the newly minted 17-year-old. 

“Milania, I couldn’t love you anymore if you were my biological daughter,” he wrote. “You have a gigantic heart with a beautiful soul! I’m so happy for what’s to come this next year for you! Reach for the stars.”
