The Real Housewives of New Jersey Will Return Later This Year

Mark your calendars, because things are about to heat up in 2016 as The Real Housewives of New Jersey is set to return for Season 7. Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga are both returning to the series, and will welcome RHONJ veteran Jacqueline Laurita back to the crew. And the trio couldn't be more excited to welcome viewers back into their lives. "We're back! This season for me is all about family, fun, friendships and fashion," Melissa said in a statement to The Daily Dish. "I can't wait for you to see what we've been up to and how much our kids have grown." 

"I'm baaaaack! I can't get enough of my Bravo family!" Jacqueline added, after taking a full-time hiatus from the show last season. "Sometimes a little break is all I need to jump back in and bring my best! Looking forward to new beginnings. XOXO." 

Season 7 will pick up nearly two years after Season 6 wrapped in November 2014, and will follow Teresa as she mends the relationships in her life following her release from prison in December 2015. "I am very excited to be back," Teresa told The Daily Dish. "For me, this season is all about letting go of the past and embracing the future. People are calling me Teresa 2.0." The mother of four is trying to repair her relationships with her sister-in-law Melissa and brother Joe Gorga, while also preparing for her husband, Joe Giudice, to begin his own jail term in late March. Meanwhile, Jacqueline is hoping to fix the once-tight relationship she had with Teresa, while also focusing on her duties as a mom to her three kids, including her autistic son, Nicholas. 

That's all we can tell you for now, but stay tuned for more details closer to the premiere date!
