RHONJ: Is Gia Giudice Still Friends With Albie & Chris Manzo
Gia Giudice may not be a housewife on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but fans sure like to know what is going on in the Rutgers undergrad's life. Fans have watched Gia grow up onscreen since she was seven years old. Known for her sad songs and cute quips, fans are curious if she stayed in contact with the Manzo brothers after her mother had a falling out with their mom.
Joe and Teresa Giudice shared their ups and downs while starring on The Real Housewives of New Jersey together for multiple seasons. The couple had four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana Guidice. The marriage rapidly began to unravel, and fans watched as each daughter was affected by her parent's issues. The eldest, Gia, was often caught in the middle of her parents' arguments but found creative ways to vent when she felt frustrated. Bravo fans could hardly forget seven-year-old Gia singing "Waking Up In The Morning" to her uncle and mother. Now, Gia is forging her own path as she navigates the world of adulthood.
Gia has always come across as more level-headed than her mother, Teresa. Bravo cameras often caught RHONJ's Gia explaining to her mother how to be the bigger person after Teresa's heated fights with the other women. Fans will recall that Teresa and Caroline Manzo had a particularly nasty falling out after the Skinny Italian author Teresa started to become competitive about camera time. Words were said that couldn't be taken back, but fans wondered how the children dealt with the falling out. Albie and Chris Manzo are almost a decade older than Gia, and RHONJ viewers wonder if they're in contact with Gia.
The short answer is no. Gia has only just entered college and turned 21, while the Manzo brothers have been in established lifestyles and jobs for some time. There is no bad blood between the Jersey kids, but they run in different circles. During a special episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, followers learned that even though RHONJ's Teresa and Caroline may be on the outs, the kids are always friendly when they run into one another.
Caroline and Teresa last appeared on The Real Housewives of New Jersey together back in season 5. Teresa had always believed that Caroline tipped the feds off when it came to her and her ex-husband Joe Giudice's arrests. While the two women may never be friends again, the kids are more than happy to wish each other luck in the future, and even get together once in a while.
