RHONJ’s Melissa Gorga and Husband Joe Gorga Feel ‘Relief’ After Mending Teresa Giudice Relationship (Exclusive)

It’s a BravoCon 2025 miracle! Teresa Giudice is on good terms with Melissa and Joe Gorga, once again.

While attending the three-day Bravo fan convention in Las Vegas, Melissa, 46, told Us Weekly exclusively that she and Joe, 51, are “relieved” to be on good terms with Teresa, 53, after years of family drama.

“I saw my husband’s relief, and for me, that’s the most important thing. It’s the siblings, and it’s the kids, and this trickles down,” Melissa explained on Friday, November 14. “To see the relief in Joe’s eyes and in his face, to me, I’m like, ‘I’m game. Let’s go. Let’s do this.’”

Melissa’s only goal is for “everyone” to be “happy” in their family.

“We can’t really hash it out too deep, because we’ll just keep circling back,” she added. “It’s better to just say, ‘Listen, we’ve all made some mistakes here, and it’s time to move forward.’”

Fans were shook by the Giudice and Gorga family reunion on Friday, especially as videos of Joe hugging his sister went viral. Later in the evening, a photo of Teresa and Melissa posing together nearly broke the internet.

During one panel, Teresa even praised the “beautiful” Melissa when she was asked about who always slays the Real Housewives reunion looks.

“That’s a very sweet thing that she said,” Melissa said when Us shared Teresa’s comment about her style. “We are trying to move forward and learn about life a little bit.”

She continued, “This is just going on for too long. Obviously, there’s been some talks and some time for everyone to think about what we’re really doing. It’s time for it to end.”

Joe not only spoke to Teresa, but to her husband, Louis “Louie” Ruelas, and his niece Gia Giudice as well.

Melissa made it clear that whatever is going on with their family is “a lot deeper than the show.” Even if The Real Housewives of New Jersey returns, the Giudice-Gorga family needs to continue healing. (RHONJ is currently on hiatus ahead of its 15th season after intense feuding with several members of the cast.)

“We could never do this on camera. This needed to be done off camera, because it was so long that there was a lot to talk about,” Melissa said. “We would have bored you because there’s a lot.”

Andy Cohen also reacted to the news of Teresa, Melissa and Joe’s reunion to Us exclusively at BravoCon on Friday.

“I told both of them … that’s one of the reasons we didn’t pick cameras up,” Andy explained. “They have to do this for themselves. It should have nothing to do with us.”

Melissa, meanwhile, said she had the utmost “respect” for Bravo’s decision to take a break from RHONJ.

“This is the strangest thing that I’m going to say, but in some way, Bravo has always helped mend our family,” Melissa said. “There would be times where we were at each other’s throats, and then they would put us on some journey where we were filming, yes, but it was also a healing moment. They have helped us through a lot, believe it or not.”
