Fans of the Real Housewives of New Jersey were surprised when Teresa and Joe Giudice said they would separate. Fans are curious to learn more about the financial aspect of the divorce settlement as it seems that Teresa has been making some good money from the reality show and several books over the years.

Teresa is now dating Luis Ruelas and fans say he resembles Joe Giudice.

While it's always sad when a marriage ends, Teresa is a wonderful mom and she has always been close to her four daughters. Let's take a look at her family life.

Mom Of Four Girls

While not everyone lives in a giant mansion or has a fancy lifestyle, people really relate to Teresa's family life. Fans of RHONJ remember when Teresa's kids were super young, and it was always adorable seeing them in scenes.

Today, Gia and Audriana look so grown up, and the other girls do as well.

Teresa and Joe Giudice got married in October of 1999 and they have four daughters: 20-year-old Gia, 17-year-old Gabriella, 16-year-old Milania, and 12-year-old Audriana.

Fans are familiar with the tough time that the couple went through.

In the fall of 2020, Audriana started middle school, and Milania started high school. Teresa shared beautiful photos of her daughters and it's clear that she is very proud of them.

In November 2020, Teresa shared that she was celebrating Thanksgiving with her daughters and, according to Bravo TV, she shared on social media that she was "Thankful for my daughters' strength to stand tall in this world."

Teresa has shared that she didn't expect to be a single parent. According to People, she said, “The greatest challenge for me to overcome as a parent, that I talk about in [my book] Standing Strong, is being a single mom. I never thought I would be a single mom with four daughters for around three years. It is difficult because I’m wearing a lot of different hats — I have to be Mom, Dad, the provider for my daughters, taking care of the house, doing everything by myself.”

Teresa also said she wants to give her kids "one-on-one attention" and that she is always making sure they know she loves them.

Gia Off At College

RHONJ fans remember seeing Gia as a little girl, as well as the emotional time in her life when her dad was in jail. Gia has always been super close with Joe and she tried to stay strong while he was away for big moments, like her senior prom.

According to Nicki Swift, Gia is studying at Rutgers University and she wants to be a lawyer. She started attending college in the fall of 2019.

Teresa told Page Six, "I'm happy for her. You know, this is her new chapter in her life, and I'm living vicariously through her 'cause I wasn't allowed to go away. She FaceTimes me all the time. I love it. We're really close."

According to The List, it might be Joe and Teresa's legal troubles that got Gia interested in studying law.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day has been a hard time for Teresa, as her mother passed away in March 2017. Teresa also recently lost her father, and in the season 11 premiere on RHONJ, she shared that she was having a difficult time with both of her parents gone.

On Mother's Day in 2019, Teresa shared how she was feeling on her Instagram account: she said, "Today I struggle as I don’t get to spend Mother’s Day with my wonderful mom, I miss her every single day & know she’s protecting me, my guardian angel. I wish I got just one more day,” the cookbook author captioned five photos with her late mother. “I’m so lucky to have learned from her & so grateful for my four gorgeous girls who I have the pleasure of hearing them call me ‘mommy’ Happy Mother’s Day to all the terrific moms out there!”

According to Us Weekly, Audriana made her mom an adorable card for the holiday, proving how close the family is. She wrote, “Dear the most best mommy in the history of the world, Teresa Giudice LOL, Happy Mother’s Day! I love you soo sooo much! I am so grateful to have you in my life! I can never ask for a better mom!" Any mom would be thrilled to receive such a sweet and touching card.
