Ever since their relationship began in the summer of 2020, we've been keeping tabs on Teresa Giudice's and Luis "Louie" Ruelas' "love bubble" over the years. From holding a beautiful party at their new shared home for said "love bubble" in June 2022 to their larger-than-life nuptials in August of that year to celebrating Christmas with both their families in 2023 with an incredible photo shoot, we've loved catching up with the married couple as they continue their relationship journey. 

How to Watch

More recently, the couple brought us into another aspect of their relationship, and to be honest, we were quite surprised with the details. 

Teresa Giudice reacts to Luis "Louie" Ruelas not wearing his wedding ring 

On January 9, Teresa hopped on her Instagram Stories to share a peek at a day in the life of her and her husband. The pair were relaxing after having a workout and Teresa pointed out something interesting: Louie wasn't wearing his wedding band on his hand. 

Louie, however, didn't completely dismiss the special piece of jewelry, however, he just placed it somewhere else.

"Look where Louie puts his wedding band as he's working out," Teresa shared in an Instagram video as she zoomed into her hubby's shoes. Upon closer look, on his right sneaker, we spotted his wedding ring looped in through his shoelace. 

"Babe, that's a smart idea," Teresa noted, considering it could presumably get lost or damaged while lifting weights.
