Teresa Giudice’s daughter Milania Giudice is emotional as she kicks off her college journey.
This week the 52-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star’s firstborn daughter Gia, 23, took to TikTok to document her 18-year-old sister’s preparations before beginning her first semester at the University of Tampa.
In the four-minute clip, she showed the new college student’s five large suitcases as they prepped for her flight to Florida.
Gia wrote in the caption, ‘and she’s off. I love you so much Milania! I can’t wait to watch you do amazing things and thrive at the University of Tampa!! See you soon.’
In the comments section of the post, Milania wrote that she was ‘sobbing in the airport.’

‘I’m a little bit sad right now, leaving,’ Milania admitted in the clip, adding, ‘But it’s okay.’
Teresa recorded her daughters tearfully hugging each other goodbye at the airport before joining Milania ahead of their flight.
Earlier this year, the then-high school senior announced her plans to study at the university in the fall.
Her famous mother decorated their home in red, white, black, and gray — her new school’s colors.
‘Congratulations on the University of Tampa! I love you so much and I am so proud of you! I can’t wait to see what you accomplish within your four years, make mommy proud,’ Teresa wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
She shared images of her and her daughter sitting side-by-side on Milania’s bed, which was covered with merchandise from UT.
Weeks later, the young adult attended her senior prom and then her graduation.
Teresa shares Milania and Gia, as well as Gabriella, 19, and Audriana, 15 in September, with ex-husband Joe Giudice, 52.

The Giudice family had a reunion last December when Teresa and her new husband Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas traveled with her daughters to the Bahamas, where they visited Joe.
Joe and Teresa both served prison time on federal fraud charges.
Following more than three years behind bars, the patriarch was deported to his native Italy, despite living nearly his entire life in the United States.
The former couple divorced in 2020 and Joe later moved to the Bahamas, where his daughters now take turns visiting him.
