Joe Giudice Speaks Out on Louie Ruelas: "I Want to Say..."
Joe Giudice set the record straight on how he feels about his ex-wife Teresa Giudice's current husband, Luis "Louie" Ruelas.
It's all love, love, love in The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Teresa Giudice's nuclear family, because her ex-husband Joe Giudice just shut down speculation that he's not on good terms with her current spouse, Luis "Louie" Ruelas.
Joe, more specifically, took to his Instagram Stories on August 12 to address rumors of a rift between him and Louie.
"I don't know why everyone has to take everything out of context. I know there are a lot of stories out there saying I commented badly on Louie," Joe began. "I've spent time with Louie, and I want to say I would never say anything wrong about him."
Joe went on to praise Teresa's husband for being a good stepdad to their four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana.
"Louie is a great guy and very good to my daughters," his message continued. My daughters are very fortunate to have him in their lives. I'm grateful for that. That's all I have to say. Enough with this BS."
As Joe mentioned, he and Louie have met and hung out together before. In fact, at Louie's insistence, he and Teresa spent New Year's with Joe in the Bahamas in 2023. From there, the two men were able to form a bond.
That wasn't the only one formed during the holiday, though.
Teresa Giudice weighs in on Joe Giudice's new girlfriend
When Teresa, Louie, and her four daughters flew to the Bahamas to ring in the New Year with Joe, they also got to meet someone very special in his life: Joe's new girlfriend.
"We had a great time," Teresa shared on the July 31 episode of Let's Talk Off Air with Kelly Ripa. "We all hung out and it was totally fine."
Teresa confirmed that it was "not at all" weird to spend time with her ex's new love.
Gia also spoke about her dad's girlfriend when she appeared on an episode of Teresa's past podcast, Namaste B$tches, in March.
"He definitely is seeing someone," Gia said on the podcast. "She's really sweet and he's really happy, too. So that's good."
Though Joe is "happy" in his new relationship, Gia doesn't envision him getting remarried in the future.
"I don't really feel like he is really into doing the whole marriage thing all over again," she said on the podcast. "I think he's just living his life out there, to be honest with you."
