As the best-selling cookbook author relayed to Extra: ‘We started talking, he told us about himself. He had two business cards on him. He handed to me one and then one to my married girlfriend.’

She added: ‘All of a sudden, he drives up to us in the car. He said, “Teresa, my son wanted to know why I didn’t ask for your number.” I said, “I have your business card. I’ll text you.” My girlfriend took my phone and was like, “I’m texting him right now.”‘

The two went public with the relationship on Instagram in December of last year, several months after Giudice finalized her divorce from Joe.

‘The BEST thing that came out of 2020,’ Teresa captioned of a photo featuring herself and Louie. 

While making his RHONJ debut during the season finale in May, Louie called Teresa ‘a dream come true.’ He said: ‘I absolutely did not expect to meet you, and I really thought I’d probably be alone for like, the next 10 years. You’re literally like, a dream come true.’

‘I love that Louie gets me and I have always wanted that. And it’s so crazy because I don’t know what the future holds, but this is the best I’ve felt in a really long time.’ 

Teresa and Joe’s marriage deteriorated after they both served time in prison for fraud. The Saronno-born amateur boxer was deported back to his native Italy in October 2019 after completing his three-year sentence at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution.

Teresa – formerly known as FCI Danbury inmate No. 65703-050 – completed her own 11-month sentence for 41 counts of fraud in December 2017. The tax-evading pair – who had a prenup – were originally sentenced in October 2014 for bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.

News of the Giudices’ divorce came the same day Page Six reported that they put their marital Montville mansion on the market for $2.5M last September. At the time it was reported that Teresa was ‘ready to start a new chapter’ and bid farewell to the 10K-square-foot six-bedroom property, which sits on four acres

Louie was engaged to Vanessa Reiser until March 2020, and has dated Paula Sanchez whom he split from in 2018. He divorced Marissa DiMartino in 2011; together they share two children. 

He has had legal battles with his former partner Vanessa, who Page Six report filed legal action against him in 2020 when their relationship ended, as she alleged he would get angry when they didn’t have enough sex. ‘

She said in court documents: ‘He demanded that I be available for sex whenever he wanted. If I objected to his demands, Luis Ruelas would punish me. He would be nasty, withdraw from me, and blame me for what happened.’

Sources also alleged to the publication that his desire for sex led to the end of his relationship with ex Paula: ‘Ninety-nine percent of their fights were because he was complaining that they weren’t having enough sex. If they had sex like four times in one day, there was a complaint.’
