On May 14, after many dedicated, hard-working years, Gia Giudice graduated from Rutgers University.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/7c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

Joining the college grad was her mother, Teresa Giudice, and the pair shared a gorgeous photo op in which they showed off their stylish looks. Teresa echoed her eldest child’s elegant sophistication in a three-piece white outfit that consisted of a white top, blazer, and wide-leg pants with light gray stripes. Teresa paired the flawless style with beautiful drop earrings and lightly tousled waves. 

“[H]appy Mother’s Day to my rock[,] I love you more than this world,” Gia wrote over the adorable photo, noting how the milestone occasion happened to land on the day that honors mothers. “You are so amazing in every which way! [T]hank you for celebrating me on your day!”

In addition, Teresa’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, shared a family photo via Instagram from the occasion, showing who else was in attendance: Gia’s three sisters Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana, plus Louie’s son, Louie Jr. 

Gia, who began studying at Rutgers in 2019, went on to earn a degree in criminal justice. In the video you can watch above, Gia tells BravoTV.com that she has more plans in higher education.  

“I’m in my final years at Rutgers University, and after I graduate, I am pursuing my dream of going to law school,” she said back in January. “My hope for the future is to become a very successful lawyer and have a lucrative clothing business on the side.”

Following the interview, Gia announced she would be interning with Martinez Immigration, a virtual law firm operated by attorney Kathleen Martinez, a popular figure on TikTok. 

“She wants to help immigrants more than people realize,” Martinez wrote in the comments section of the post. “[H]er heart is so big for that.”

During a 2021 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Gia said her interest in law stemmed from her parents’ issues within the legal system. After her father was deported to Italy in 2019 following a 41-month prison sentence, he relocated to the Bahamas. His fight continues to return to the United States. 

“Their whole experience influenced me, honestly, for the better,” Gia said on the episode. “I just want to help families and be able to be there for families and help children, honestly, especially.”
