Here's Why Joe Giudice Is Feeling "So Blessed"
The RHONJ ex-husband shared a peek at his family's annual summer dinner hosted by his mom.
Although he’s a thousand miles away from his Garden State family, Joe Giudice is still feeling the love.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey dad returned to Instagram this week to share a glimpse at a recent get-together among his stateside loved ones. Originally posted by his daughter Gia Giudice, the video was filmed during the “annual summer family dinner" hosted by Joe's mom, Filomena Giudice, who resides in New Jersey.
Joe was at his Bahamas home during the event but experienced the highlights through a few photos and videos.
“So blessed to have such a great family,” he captioned the July 18 Instagram. “[T]his is not even a quarter of my family.”

Gia Giudice takes fans inside her family's annual summer dinner
Gia, the oldest daughter of RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice, shared the dinner footage in a July 17 TikTok, which included cameos by her aunts, uncles, cousins, and sisters.
“Come with me to my nonna’s annual summer dinner with the entire family,” Gia said in the video. “My nonna has been preparing all of this food since 4:30 in the morning. She is seriously such an angel but these dinners seriously make her so happy when we come together.”
What was on the Giudice dinner menu?
The Rutgers University alum captured the family sitting around outdoor dining tables while enjoying delicious-looking grub, like homemade zeppoles and Gelotti’s ice cream.
“Everyone was over today,” Gia continued. “My nonna has 11 grandchildren, plus all of our boyfriends, and more of our aunts and uncles and cousins. We have such a big family… I’m so grateful that my nonna is still able to do this for us. This makes her so happy.”
Gia and her cousins surprise their grandma with a sleepover
But the family fun didn’t end there. Shortly after the summer dinner wrapped up, Gia and her cousins treated their grandma to a surprise sleepover. Gia posted footage of her and her relatives saying goodbye to their grandma, only to return minutes later with sleepover essentials in tow.
The video showed the cousins quietly walking through their grandma’s front yard before they entered the house and enthusiastically shouted, “Nonna! We’re sleeping over!”
Needless to say, Filomena was pleasantly surprised as she kissed and hugged all of her grandkids as they filed into her living room. Gia confirmed nearly a dozen cousins were at the sleepover, including her little sisters Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana Giudice. The night consisted of snacks; TV-watching; conversation; and, of course, a pillow fight.
“We love you so much Nonna,” Gia captioned the final shot.
