'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Prison Release Countdown: Spending Christmas Eve with Melissa Gorga
Christmas really is the time that brings families together. While Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice's family has been separated for much of the year, as she been serving out a 15-month sentence in a federal prison, that star is about to get out just in time for the holidays. And as the December 23 release date draws closer, fans are wondering what that means for her and her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.
While the starlets have had their fair share of drama over the years, it seems that since being in prison the family members have been doing great, and are even planning on spending Christmas Eve together.
In fact, according to Us Weekly, the Bravo brother and sister duo will even be having a traditional Italian Feast of the Seven Fishes Xmas Eve dinner together the day after her release.
Joe and Teresa Giudice will be headed to the Gorga's mansion in New Jersey for the festivities, and Tre's brother explained to the news site that he couldn't be happier about his sister's plans to come.
"It's a blessing that everyone will be able to be together," Gorga, 36, told the news site.
Melissa echoed her hubby's sentiments in an interview with People, saying, it is "a blessing."
While Melissa and Teresa have had their own issues in the past, it seems that everything has been on the up-and-up in their relationship since Teresa went to prison, which made them realize the important things in life.
"They're on really great terms right now," an insider explained, according to Perez Hilton. "Everything that happened with Teresa going away made both women realize that there are more important things in life than their old feud. Melissa and Joe reached out to Joe Giudice... and all four of them are on the best terms they've ever been on."
Giudice is expected to make her Bravo return on the seventh season of RHONJ where she will starring alongside Gorga, and we are sure that the cameras will be out and rolling to capture the families first holiday dinner together.
