Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice revealed her new boyfriend Luis Ruelas and her ex-husband Joe have been in contact since they started dating. Rumors of Teresa and Luis began in November 2020 after a viewer of the show caught them getting cozy while at one of her daughter's soccer games. Shortly after the photo hit the web, new outlets confirmed the couple was, in fact, a couple. They were taking things slow in the beginning, but it seems Teresa and Luis may be a long-lasting couple.
News of their relationship appeared in the tabloids two months after she finalized her divorce from Joe. At first, Teresa was very secretive about her budding romance, not even sharing a photo together on social media. In December 2020, the reality star shared her first photo of the couple, claiming Luis was the best thing to come out of 2020. Since then, the couple has been sharing their love all over social media. Thankfully, Teresa's daughters and her ex are supportive of her new relationship.
During a recent interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the mother of four said the relationship between Luis and her ex-husband has been amicable. "They've talked over the phone. Luis wanted to go to the Bahamas and meet him -- which I thought was the most amazing thing ever," she shared, adding, "He said he just wanted to talk to him and let him know he's not trying to take his place or anything." Teresa's daughters recently headed down to The Bahamas to spend some time with their father and grandmother. Andy then inquired about Teresa's new man, asking how he differs from Joe.
The 48-year-old praised Luis for his willingness to open up and be emotional with her. "With Luis, he's very open, he gets me to open up, and, like, I know exactly what he's feeling," she said. "He expresses his feelings." Not only is Luis able to express his feelings with Teresa, but he also gives her the attention she needs in a relationship. The New Jersey native said, "I like a lot of attention, so does he, so we give each other a lot of attention." Andy later asked if Teresa sees wedding bells in her future with Luis, to which she responded, "I mean, you know, I feel it, so we'll see what happens," she said, trying to be coy about it.
Teresa and Luis were moving at a slow pace at the beginning of their relationship. Now that they have spent so much time together, their relationship is on the fast track. The couple not only bought a $3 million home together they've also been featured on each other social media pages on several occasions. Teresa has been through many hardships the past few years, and Luis has brought nothing but happiness into her life.
