Teresa Giudice Pens Sweet Note For Luis Ruelas After Admitting She Would Have Stayed With Joe Giudice

Teresa Giudice did not miss the chance to assure her fiancé Luis “Louie” Ruelas that her feelings for him are sincere and true, days after admitting that she would have stayed married to her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, if it weren’t for “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

On Saturday, the 49-year-old reality star took to Instagram to share a romantic photo of her and Ruelas, 46, sitting by the fireplace during their stay at the St. Regis Aspen Resort in Aspen, Colorado. The couple flashed big smiles in the snap, sporting warm clothing for the chilly weather.

“The fire of our love burns bright. Thank you for always keeping me so warm and safe,” Teresa wrote in the caption of her sweet message for her husband-to-be.

The post quickly received a flurry of positive comments from her friends and fans. Many expressed their joy seeing Teresa happy with Ruelas after everything she went through during her first marriage.

“Hot couple,” wrote “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Tamra Judge.

“Ever since you’ve been with Louie, your smile looks so much more natural and relaxed. It totally shows how happy you are,” one fan commented.

“Love seeing you so happy. You’ve had a tough few years, now it’s your time,” another user added.

Teresa’s romantic post comes a few days after she admitted during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy” that she would have been living a different life now if she hadn’t dabbled in reality TV.

When host Andy Cohen asked the controversial matriarch how different her life would have been if she did not star in all 12 seasons of the hit Bravo show, Teresa shared that she might have stayed married to Joe, 49, and might not have gone to jail.

“OK so you wouldn’t have gone to jail, would you still be with Joe?” Cohen asked.

“Maybe, yeah. I mean, listen, I was the best wife ever and I know to Louie I’m going to be even better because you get better with age and you learn things. Maybe we would have,” Teresa was quoted as saying by People.

Teresa served time in prison in 2015 for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud charges. Joe was also put behind bars for the same charges, but he completed his sentence in 2019. After his release, he was deported to his home country, Italy, and this led Teresa to pull the plug on their relationship.

Teresa and Joe finalized their divorce in September 2020 after 20 years of marriage and despite having four daughters together — Gia, 21, Gabriella, 17, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 13.

The “RHONJ” star has since moved on, and she’s now engaged to Ruelas after the latter popped the question in October 2021 during the couple’s trip to Greece.
