Teresa Giudice flaunts her toned physique in a leopard bikini after RHONJ is put ‘on pause’

Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice showed off her curves in a leopard print bikini from Nua Swim that tied at the hips as she posed on a balcony in Puerto Rico on Tuesday. 

The 51-year-old pinup has been enjoying a beachside vacation at a luxury resort with her 48-year-old husband, Luis Ruelas. She captioned the post, ‘Love love love Puerto Rico ❤️.’

The Dancing With The Stars alum, who boasts 2.3M Instagram followers, styled her long brunette tresses down straight and opted for smokey eye makeup with a glossy pink lip. 

The mother-of-four donned a fishnet overlay coverup by Caso Boutique with a slit up the side and accessorized with large diamond stud earrings. 

The star recently celebrated her 51st birthday on May 18 after her Bravo show was put ‘on pause’ due to a feud between Giudice and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, 44, according to Page Six.

The women — who screamed at each other on the season finale —  are said to be ‘legitimately estranged’ according to sources, with the network unsure of how to proceed.

None of the cast mates have been offered contracts for the next season, according to the publication, and nobody has been fired at this time. There is currently no date for Season 14 to begin filming. 

Giudice and Gorga had a huge argument while filming the season 13 finale because of rumors that Melissa cheated on her husband — Teresa’s brother Joe Gorga — and kissed longtime friend Nick Barrotta.

Filming was set to resume in June following Giudice’s wedding to Ruelas and the upcoming Season 13 reunion, however, showrunners informed the cast that production might not begin until 2024, if at all.

Due to the pause, some of the women have started to plan their summer vacations, while others are worried about taking a financial hit due to not filming.

Season 13 of the reality show, which is currently airing, stars Giudice, Gorga, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral, Dolores Catania, and Rachel Fuda. 

Last month, while filming the Season 13 reunion, Giudice was reported ‘completely unhinged’ and ‘out of control’ during the sit-down. A source added she was ‘nastier than ever’ and ‘cursing’ a lot.

Following the reunion, host Andy Cohen admitted he ‘lost his s**t’ at Teresa during the heated episode – but later apologized.

‘The level of, I won’t even say vitriol, I will say, hate Teresa and Melissa [have] … I mean the gloves are off,’ the Bravo personality, 54, recalled on an episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.

‘I’ve never seen anything like it, and the way the two of them were going back and forth,’ he added. 

‘There was a moment where I turned to Teresa — I apologized to her later — I didn’t yell at her, but I think I lost my s***t with her in a way that I haven’t, maybe, ever,’ he said.

The Watch What Happens Live host didn’t go into detail about what exactly happened but he alluded to the fact that there was a ‘ton of new allegations’ and ‘new material to get into’ and Teresa would not stop bickering with her sister-in-law.

Meanwhile on the season finale Melissa declared that she wasn’t going to Giudice’s wedding after they screamed at each other.

The reality star yelled at Teresa at an Irish-themed party after learning that a cheating rumor about her was still circulating.

‘I had no intention on confronting her about this ’cause Joe doesn’t believe it, it’s bulls***, and because I wanted to let her have a peaceful six months leading up to her wedding,’ Melissa said in a confessional.

Melissa who previously admitted she was considering boycotting the wedding told Danielle that ‘half the reason’ Joe can’t look Teresa in the eyes was ‘because she called him over to her house that day.’

Later Joe in a confessional said they told him about the rumor and Louie suggested there were ‘multiple men’.

‘I’m sitting there as they’re telling me, basically, to, like, leave Melissa. Then a couple days after, Gia calls me up. And she’s like, “You know, I heard what happened. We just think that you can do better. Mommy thinks so, we all do.” So I said to myself, am I around people that love me or people that wanna hurt me? It’s a f***ed up situation,’ Joe said referencing Teresa’s eldest daughter Gia.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey can be seen on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c.
