Milania Giudice says Gia Giudice has been the "best older sister"
Gia's sister, Milania Giudice, took to Instagram where she penned the nicest tribute to her oldest sibling. Milania posted so many photos of her and Gia taken throughout the years — from their most recent New Year's Eve celebration to family vacations to one of their very first red carpet appearances.
"You've always been the best older sister, not only to [me] but to all of us," she wrote. "You're the one who's always looking out for everyone, making sure we're okay, and just being that constant support we didn't know we needed sometimes. I love you more than you know. I can't wait to keep cheering you on through life, just like you've always done for me. You're truly one of a kind, and I'm so lucky to call you my sister."
Why Gia Giudice has "such good vibes" on her birthday as she turns 24
Gia took to TikTok on her birthday, where she posted a video of her doing her makeup before going out to dinner. While getting ready, Gia explained why her birthday celebration spans over a week. "I am a child of divorce, so I have to celebrate with my dad's side of the family, my mom's side of the family, my friends, and my boyfriend," she explained. "So it's like, a week-long thing."
This doesn't phase Gia, who explained that she has "such good vibes" going into 24 and a good feeling about 2025. "I just feel like this year is going to be a really amazing year and I'm just super, super happy," she said.
