Gia was particularly expressive about her love for Louie, telling the audience, "I swear he really treats us like we’re his own."

"He does everything for me," Gia continued, explaining that he played a big role in the Europe trip she and her sister Gabriella recently went on. "It was the best experience of my entire life. He really does the world for us and I really couldn’t ask for a better stepdad."

Gia revealed that her father, Joe Giudice, is equally grateful that Louie came into Teresa's life. "Him and my father have so much respect for each other," she said. "My father literally said to Louie, ‘Thank you for taking care of my girls.' He really is amazing."

Dolores Catania also praised Louie, saying she "couldn't ask for a better man" for Teresa. "He's wonderful, he's good to her girls, he's good to her friends," she added. "I love Louie."

The love didn't end there, though. Even Todd Tucker chimed in, telling the audience, "I just met Louie this weekend and I might have hugged him five to seven times. Every time I see him we hug. He's a very loving guy."
