'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa Giudice reveals Melissa Gorga wasn't first woman Joe Gorga got engaged to, calls him 'Runaway Groom'
What is reality TV without some juicy gossip and drama? During a session with Stir the Pot with Teresa & Dolores panel at BravoCon 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa Giudice revealed Melissa Gorga wasn't the first woman in Joe Gorga's (Giudice''s brother) life, he was engaged twice before.
"Melissa moved into his house a month after she met him; they got engaged in four, five months. Everything happened in 10 months. But it was his third engagement. Me and my mother kept our mouth shut. We were like, 'You know what, let him marry this one,'" she told AOL's Gibson Johns.
The first two engagements ended on a bitter note, which was why Giudice and her mother decided to stay quiet for the third one. Gorga date his 16-year-old girlfriend for a decade and broke up eight months before they are scheduled to get married.
"The second [fiancée], [she] treated us like s--t at the bridal shower. I told my brother. He broke up with her a week later," said Giudice, adding that she couldn't be happier for the couple and thought he picked "the right one" this time.
Though Giudice has the nicest compliments for Gorga (Melissa), their relationship on the show didn't hit off on the right note. Their complicated equation stemmed from the fact that Giudice's family entered the show without discussing it with her first. But that doesn't mean they are waiting to have a go at each other or get into a spat. "I'm good with her. But we are different," Giudice said.
Interestingly, the family was able to set aside their differences and travel to Italy to spend quality time with each other. "We were just there to enjoy each other’s times and you know, lots of laughs and lots of tears. Just reacquainting with each other, it was pretty amazing. We had the best time ever. It was so good," she said during an interview with 'Good Morning America'.
