Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and her husband Luis “Louie” Ruelas are still adjusting to married life, with the reality show adding an extra layer of complexity to their relationship. Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly, Giudice revealed that filming the show has been the hardest part of their first year of marriage, saying, “This is not what he’s used to. So, it is like, ‘Poor guy.’” However, the couple agrees that their day-to-day life is full of normal activities, with Ruelas saying they do dinners every night and cook together.
Ruelas, who shares sons Nicholas and Louie Jr. with ex-wife Marisa Dimartino Ruelas, notes that his life has shifted since marrying Giudice, saying, “It’s really nice to have, like, a lot of structure here in the house with girls. We have four dogs. We live for our kids. It’s wonderful. You get to this place and actually have time. We have time to focus on the children and what’s important, where they’re going, what their next steps are.”

Giudice shares four daughters with ex-husband Joe Giudice, whom she divorced in 2020. The couple’s summer 2022 nuptials will be aired on Tuesday, May 23, with Giudice saying, “I can’t wait for the wedding special because I can’t wait to relive it. I was so happy, and I can’t wait to see it because I know there’s some things that I missed.”
However, the wedding was not without drama, with Giudice’s brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga, noticeably absent from the ceremony. Us Weekly later confirmed that the Gorgas skipped the nuptials after rumors surfaced that Melissa had cheated on Joe and accused Teresa of playing “a part” in the affair claims coming to light. The pair have since denied the cheating allegations.

“I need to heal myself. I’ve been through a lot the past 10 years with them,” Teresa told Us in February of her brother and sister-in-law, claiming, “I’m happy for them. I wish them well and I wish they wished me the same back.” Despite the drama, Giudice and Ruelas continue to navigate their blended family and enjoy their first year of marriage.
Giudice and Ruelas have been dating since late 2020, and they got engaged in October 2021. The couple has been open about their love for each other, with Giudice calling Ruelas her “soulmate” and Ruelas gushing about their relationship on social media.
As for their future, the couple is taking things one day at a time. Giudice told Us Weekly in February that they are “just enjoying each other’s company” and “having fun,” while Ruelas said in a recent interview that he is “looking forward to growing old” with Giudice.
