Andy Cohen and many Real Housewives of New Jersey fans were shocked to learn that Teresa Giudice and her new husband Luis Ruelas did not sign a prenup before their marriage, and Teresa revealed why. After one failed marriage that landed both parties in jail, fans were hoping Teresa would take every precaution to keep control over her own finances. She and Luis had a whirlwind romance, as they met in 2020 on the Jersey Shore and got engaged in 2021. Her first marriage and her feelings for Luis led to her making the bold decision of marrying without the agreement.
In a Twitter clip from BravoCon on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, one fan asked Teresa the question that was on everyone's mind after learning that she was getting married for a second time: Will she get a prenup? Teresa simply answered "no" and added that her relationship with Luis is "true love." She revealed that her now-ex husband Joe Giudice unexpectedly asked for a prenup right before their wedding, and it made her consider breaking off their marriage. Though they were married for over two decades and have four daughters together, Teresa did not want to repeat the same mistakes with Luis.
Teresa GiudiceWants To Start Fresh
In 2014, RHONJ's Teresa and Joe were sentenced to prison for fraud, with Teresa serving a 15-month sentence and Joe serving 41 months, and later getting deported to his native Italy. With many ups and downs, including several cheating allegations, it was no surprise that her first marriage ended in divorce. Before the fraud drama, Teresa saw the prenup as a sign of distrust and did not want to start her second marriage off that way.
Teresa and Luis tied the knot on Aug. 6, and RHONJ fans are in for a treat next year when they get to watch the lavish affair unfold on-screen with a wedding special. Fans were divided over Teresa's choice to follow her heart and opt out of the prenup. While Real Housewives of New Jersey fans are happy that she has found her soulmate after several rough years, others are still skeptical about Luis' intentions. The 48-year-old is certainly well off, with a net worth of roughly $2 million. His net worth is larger than the reality star, who is reportedly worth $1 million currently.
Teresa has worked hard for her money, flipping tables and bringing drama on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since the first season. Some fans worry that she is making a mistake by not getting a prenup, which could negatively affect her daughters if Luis takes her money should they ever get divorced. Fans are hoping that Teresa is right about it being true love between her and Luis so that she can hold onto her wealth this time around.
