Teresa Giudice is opening up about her estranged relationship with brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga — and telling Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” she’s ready to move on.
“Time heals always — because then you forget. Like, you’re angry when it first happens,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star says while promoting her intense run on Fox’s “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test,” which she competed on alongside her daughter, Gia Giudice.
“But now, it’s been … I’m married three years. So it’s been three years. He didn’t come to my wedding, so we haven’t spoken in three years.”
Teresa tied the knot with Luis “Louie” Ruelas in August 2022 — a ceremony notably devoid of Joe and Melissa, who opted not to attend amid mounting tension filmed during “RHONJ” Season 13. That snub became a major flashpoint in a feud that has only escalated since.
Still, Teresa says she’s been reflecting on the situation. “You can’t talk about the past. Like, you really can’t because if you talk about the past you’re never going to really get anywhere,” she explains. “… I would say just to move on because I think that you’ll never get anywhere speaking about the past.”
Her olive branch comes as “RHONJ” faces uncertainty about its next season, with reports that Melissa has been test-filming with potential new “Housewives” — and Teresa has not.
At Page Six’s inaugural VRT Awards last month, Melissa addressed Teresa’s remarks directly. “The truth is, for the last year, the door has been closed,” she told “Virtual Reali-Tea” hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy.
“She’s said out loud on multiple platforms, podcasts, whatever it might be, that the door is closed. So, the truth is, I’m just confused why it might be opening or cracking a little bit.”

Melissa added, “Neither of us have had any contact in probably two years at this point, so that’s just so strange to come out with that out of nowhere.”
Fans will be watching closely to see whether this feud can finally melt — or if the ice between the Gorgas and Giudice is permanent.
“Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
