Gabriella Giudice Reunites with Her Father, Joe Giudice, After Graduation: “Twins”
The RHONJ daughter is getting lots of love from her family — including her sisters Gia and Milania, and stepdad Louie Ruelas — as she celebrates a major milestone.
Gabriella Giudice, Teresa Giudice’s 18-year-old daughter, is officially a high school graduate! Now, The Real Housewives of New Jersey teen is preparing for her next life chapter at the University of Michigan. But first, she made a stop in the Bahamas to visit someone very close to her heart: her dad, Joe Giudice, aka her “twin.”
Gia calls Joe and Gabriella “twins”
Shortly after her graduation ceremony, Gabriella shared snaps of herself on a Bahamian beach. The soon-to-be college student had traveled to the islands to visit Joe. During the trip, Joe made sure to snap a few pics of himself and his high school grad.
In a June 30 Instagram post, Joe offered a peek inside his night in the Bahamas with Gabriella. Wearing faded jeans, black loafers, and a button-down shirt, the proud dad had his arm around his honors student. Gabriella wore a patterned blue dress with ruffles along its hem, and she wore her hair pulled back in an elegant updo.
In the comments, a certain someone couldn’t help but remark on how much Joe and Gabriella look alike. Joe’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, wrote, “Twins.” (Gia, who just graduated from college, also paid a recent visit to the Bahamas.)
In his Instagram Stories, Joe shared more glimpses of his island adventures with Gabriella. After a rainy boat day, the “twins” smiled for a close-up selfie. And indeed, it’s hard to miss the family resemblance between the two — and the sheer joy they seem to feel at being reunited.
Gabriella gets major kudos
Gabriella also received some Instagram love from her stepdad, Luis “Louie” Ruelas. When she graduated from high school, Teresa’s husband shared photos of the ceremony, along with a heartfelt message for his stepdaughter.
In a June 29 post, Louie wrote, “Congratulations Gabriella. I am so proud of you and cannot wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish over these next four years! I love you! Next stop [University of Michigan].”
Gabriella’s little sister Milania also showered her with love. “Congratulations to my beautiful, smart, amazing sister,” she wrote in a post of her own. “I love you beyond words can describe and I am so so proud of you.”
Milania’s post continued: “I can’t wait to see the amazing things that you accomplish and I’m so excited to visit you in college. I’m going to miss you around the house so much and I’m gonna miss going to high school with you. You’re my best friend. I love you so much.”
