Teresa Giudice has set the record straight about the status of her marriage to husband Luis “Louie” Ruelas following rumors that their marriage was on the rocks and accusations from her cast members that he spent her money recklessly.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com at the BELLA Insider Summer Festival on Monday, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who will celebrate her second wedding anniversary next month, revealed her marriage is better than ever.
Asked if filming with Louie, 49, strengthened her marriage, she replied: “Oh, definitely. Have you been watching the show? Poor guy! I mean, everything they put him through. All those lies.”
The RHONJ cast who is on the other alleged team claimed that Louie hired private investigator Bo Dietl to dig up dirt to use against him, something the father of two has since denied.
Teresa, 52, has stood by her man through thick and thin, even if it means distancing herself from his brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.
Teresa Giudice has set the record straight about the status of her marriage to husband Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas following rumors that their marriage was in crisis and accusations from her cast members that he spent her money recklessly.
She told DailyMail.com that it “means a lot to her” that her husband stands by her and supports her. “He’s the best husband. He really is. And I’m lucky to have him because not many men would have to deal with the crap that he had to deal with.”
In a recently released promo for season 14, it was revealed that there are only three episodes left to air before the highly anticipated finale on August 4.
As previously teased, the final episode will feature another explosive fight between Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin that will result in broken glass scattering all over the floor of a New Jersey steakhouse where they filmed.
The entire cast was on hand to film the final scene, including Teresa, Melissa, Danielle, Jennifer, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, Jackie Goldschneider and Jenn Fessler.
Without going into details about what happened, the original Housewives actress confessed: “I was angry. You’ll see why. Yes, I was angry.”
She went on to explain: “I feel like there’s a lot of hints with us, you know, like they’re telling all these lies… Margaret told lies, Rachel told lies, my family told lies. It all works out. You’re going to see everything.”
This season’s reunion has been canceled because the finale answers too many questions, executive producer Andy Cohen previously said.
“It’s one of those classic Jersey finals that people will be talking about for a long time,” he said earlier on Radio Andy Reality in sight. “When all the producers saw the final cut of the ending, we all made a decision separately and then we talked. We all had the same idea: the ending is a kind of ending and a reunion at the same time.”
Giudice stunned in a plunging peach dress as she attended BELLA Insider’s Summer Festival on Monday.

The couple shared a tender moment at the party.
He added: “This last epic group encounter is like the Last Supper and very Jersey. When you see it, I think you’ll feel complete. I really do.”
Instead of a pre-recorded reunion, there will be an alternative reunion, which will reportedly take place on July 15. The cast will share their reaction and provide feedback on the finale after watching it for the first time.
“I’m fine with that. I mean, it’s not really a reunion. Whatever you want to call it, I don’t know what you want to call it,” Teresa told DailyMail.com. “Whatever Bravo wants. I’m fine with that.”
After another stressful season, Teresa will enjoy a much-needed break when she heads to Europe later this summer. The mother of four and her husband will celebrate their wedding anniversary on August 6.
“We’re going on a trip to celebrate our second anniversary. We’re going to Mykonos. We’re going to Ibiza and Turkey,” she said excitedly.
The Bravo star was the epitome of glamour at the event.
She and her husband mingled with other guests at the party.
Until then, the couple is making the press rounds. Teresa, joined by Louie and friend Jennifer Aydin, hosted BELLA Magazine’s party earlier this week to celebrate her cover of BELLA Insider’s Summer Issue.
“It was their summer issue, and if anyone knows me, they know I love summer. I love sunshine and warm weather,” she said. “So when they asked me to do the summer issue, I was really excited.”
The event, hosted by Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Coppes and her team, took place at The Whitechapel Projects in Long Branch, New Jersey, and featured vendors including Mrs. Momma Bear Workwear, The Secret Garden Spa, Lucid Dreams Floral Design, Hi Beautiful You, and Heart of Oneness Wellness Boutique.
This comes several months after Teresa denied rumors that she was divorcing Luis after going on vacation alone without her wedding ring.
Social media was abuzz with claims of marital problems between the two when she posted steamy bikini photos without her wedding ring in February.
The Real Housewives Of New Jersey star raised questions about her marriage in March when she was spotted vacationing alone without her wedding ring.
The couple tied the knot in a lavish New Jersey wedding in front of 150 guests, including Real Housewives stars Dorinda Medley, Ashley Darby, Margaret Josephs and Kenya Moore.
Teresa addressed the divorce rumors in a March episode of her Namaste bitches podcast as she said: ‘I was like, ‘Are you serious?’… I know we’re very close.’
Teresa clarified that she was on a girls’ trip in Miami while Luis was on his own trip in California and that they are allowed to do their own things.
She explained: ‘I think it’s good that people, you know, good stories, bad stories, whatever is out there, it’s a good thing.
“If they keep talking about you, they’re still interested in you. If you want to tell lies, go ahead. I don’t care.”
“Louis and I are not getting divorced,” she also said near the end of the podcast.
The veteran reality star admitted that her husband is still getting used to the public scrutiny.
She said: ‘It’s not your world. I’ve been doing this for a long time. And it takes a certain type of person to not let it get to you… you can’t let it get to you.
“Ignore, ignore, ignore, that’s the best thing you can do. It goes in one ear and out the other. It’s the only way to survive in this world of reality.”
The couple tied the knot in a lavish wedding in East Brunswick, New Jersey, in front of 150 guests, including Real Housewives stars Dorinda Medley, Ashley Darby, Margaret Josephs and Kenya Moore.
Teresa’s daughters with ex-husband Joe Giudice — Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana — were also at the nuptials, as were Ruelas’ two children from a previous marriage.
