RHONJ’s Melissa Gorga Shares Shocking Update on Teresa Giudice Feud

Teresa Giudice won’t be throwing out Melissa Gorga‘s sprinkle cookies again—hopefully.

After over 15 years of drama on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Melissa recently shared where she and her sister-in-law currently stand with each other.

She told Erin Lim Rhodes of TopMob News in an exclusive interview on November 14th at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas that they’ve been making progress and having discussions. She added that everyone involved is aware the current situation can’t continue indefinitely, and they’re trying to approach things positively.

Melissa, who shares three children – 20-year-old Antonia, 18-year-old Gino, and 15-year-old Joey Jr. – with her husband, Joe Gorga, mentioned that she and Teresa are also considering how their strained relationship has affected their kids.

The children haven’t been close for three years now, she said. She questioned what message that sends to them, adding that family rifts tend to repeat themselves if not addressed.

Melissa doesn’t want the ongoing issues between Teresa and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, to continue affecting their family, especially their daughters Gia, 24, Gabriella, 21, Milania, 19, and Audriana, 16.

I absolutely don’t want my kids to think it’s okay to not talk to family,” she said. “I believe in setting a good example, so I’m always willing to work through disagreements and find solutions, as long as everyone is being genuine and honest.

And it turns out, she and Teresa, 53, decided to make amends behind closed doors.

You know, what was so powerful about this experience was its authenticity. We intentionally kept it private – no cameras, no audience. It wasn’t about performing for anyone else; it was a deeply personal journey, something we needed to do for ourselves. Honestly, it was a lot to process, a lot to carry, and we just needed space to do that privately and honestly.

With season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey returning after a surprising break, what can viewers anticipate?

Melissa hinted that they were evaluating different players. “They’re trying out some new people and figuring out what combination works best,” she explained.
