Joe Giudice Popped into the RHONJ Reunion for an “Unexpected” Reason: Details

Teresa Giudice’s ex-husband had a pressing question that was answered during Part 1 of the RHONJ Season 13 reunion. 

By Abby Feiner

Part 1 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion was filled with jaw-dropping moments, but before host Andy Cohen and the Garden State ladies even kicked off their heated conversations, the day took a surprising turn. 

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.

As Andy began his introduction to the reunion, he was interrupted by Teresa Giudice’s cell phone ringing. “Look who’s calling me: Joe Giudice,” Teresa said before Andy encouraged her to answer the call from her ex-husband. 

Why Joe Giudice Called Teresa During the RHONJ Season 13 Reunion

As it turns out, Joe was calling from the Bahamas, where he currently lives, with a pressing cosmetic question for Aydin Plastic Surgery owner Dr. Bill Aydin. “Tre, ask Jennifer [Aydin]’s husband, Bill, if he does bags under your eyes,” he said as Teresa and her castmates laughed. 

His interest piqued, Andy grabbed the phone from Teresa to ask, “Giudice, are you looking to get your eyes done?” However, Joe explained he was calling on behalf of his uncle and noted, “[Mine] aren’t baggy yet.”

With that, the call concluded after a brief moment of Andy catching up with Joe about his life these days. “Wow,” Andy said after Teresa said goodbye, noting the moment was quite “unexpected.”

The New Jersey Housewives Open Up About Their Cosmetic Procedures

Although Joe may not be getting his eyes worked on anytime soon, some of the RHONJ ladies have had cosmetic procedures recently. As Rachel Fuda explains in The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 After Show video above, she considers Jennifer Fessler’s facelift earlier this year to be “a very nice tune-up.” 

Many of the ’Wives agree. “[Jennifer Fessler] looks really good,” Jennifer Aydin says in the clip, to which Danielle Cabral quips, “Only person that got a Season 2 face in [her] Season 1.”

As Melissa Gorga explains, “Everybody gets a little tune-up after [their first season].”   

“I watched myself on TV, I went and got a nose job,” she continues, later adding, “Everybody does something.”
