Melissa Gorga Wants to Keep Possible Reunion With Teresa Giudice ‘Private’
Melissa Gorga is ready to reunite with her long-estranged sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice, but she wants to keep it off-camera—at least for now.
In a new interview, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star told Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea that the family needs to hash things out with an “authentic and real” conversation without Bravo standing by. “We haven’t ever had a chance to have anything private … so I’m going to keep this part private for right now,” Gorga said. “We’ll see how it goes.”
The mom of three admitted that the estrangement, which has also affected both her kids and Giudice’s, “isn’t normal” and that she wants to show her kids that this is “no way to live.”
“This has to get fixed,” she added. “God forbid something ever happens. Everybody needs to be able to speak to one another.”
“This was never a line that I was drawing in the sand,” Gorga added. “The truth is, I’m always going to be Team Family. There’s no way I would ever not want that for Joe.”
The Envy boutique owner also admitted she never thought she could get to a place where a reconciliation with Giudice could be possible. “I don’t know how any of this is happening, but it happens,” she said. “We’ll see what happens.”

Much of the Gorga and Giudice family drama was caught on camera in past seasons of RHONJ. Things came to a head when the Gorgas skipped Giudice’s wedding to Luis Reulas in 2022. The feuding family members refused to film together for Season 14.
During an episode of her “Turning the Tables” podcast, Giudice announced there was no chance of a reconciliation with her brother Joe and his wife. “We’re done, we’re done. We’re never making up. That’s never going to happen,” she said.
In 2024, Giudice also confirmed to PIX11’s ‘New York Living” that the break from her family members was “permanent.”
Fans were stunned then, when, during a September 2025 appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Giudice hinted that she could possibly co-exist with the Gorgas. “I mean, never say never,” she told host Jeff Lewis. “I mean, I guess we would, you know, have to see. …We’ll see what happens. … you just have to kind of let it go and move on.”
She elaborated in an October 2025 interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, noting, “Time heals always — because then you forget,” Giudice told the outlet. “ Like, you’re angry when it first happens. But now, it’s been … I’m married three years. So it’s been three years. [They] didn’t come to my wedding, so we haven’t spoken in three years.”

Shortly after Giudice made her comments about the potential for a reconciliation, Melissa Gorga told Page Six it came out of nowhere. “The truth is, for the last year, the door has been closed. [Giudice] has said out loud on multiple platforms, podcasts, whatever it might be, that the door is closed,” Gorga said in September. “So, the truth is, I’m just confused why it might be opening or cracking a little bit.”
“Neither of us have had any contact in probably two years at this point, so that’s just so strange to come out with that out of nowhere,” Gorga added.
Giudice’s apparent change of tune came amid rumors that Gorga has test-filmed with potential new cast members for the upcoming season of RHONJ, while Giudice was not asked to film.
Carlton Gebbia Shares Stunning Updates on Her Daughters, Destiny & Mysteri: "My Coven"
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Carlton Gebbia has kept a lower profile than some of her fellow Housewives, but all indications show she’s living her most magical life out of the view of cameras. However, when she does share updates on her life today, she often gives peeks at her family and some insight into what she's up to.
In fact, Carlton shared a rare Instagram post on Oct. 1, first quoting Shakespeare alongside an illustration of three witches brewing in a cauldron. Wrote Carlton, “‘By the pricking of my thumbs … something wicked this way comes.’”
She continued, “It’s October, Witches … Broom’s out, Magick’s up,” adding emojis of a crystal ball, broom, and crescent moon.
Carlton's eldest daughter and model, Destiny, responded in the comments, “Missing my coven so much rn [right now].” She also added emojis, including an anatomical heart, a face holding back tears, and a woman mage.
Meanwhile, Carlton's middle kid, Mysteri, responded to her sister in the comments, writing, “We miss you more.” Elsewhere in the comment section, she wrote, “Best month ever."
What’s the latest on Carlton's kids: Destiny, Mysteri, and Cross Gebbia?
In addition to Destiny and Mysteri, Carlton is also a proud mom to her teen son, Cross. The Gebbia children remain more active on social media than their mom as they navigate a myriad of different life experiences, which they post about on Instagram and beyond.
Destiny, who made her first New York Fashion Week debut in 2018 and walked for Saman Loira at this year’s Milan Fashion Week. "Soooo proud of u kitten," Carlton shared on Instagram at the time. Destiny continues to travel the world as an Instagram influencer and model, with stops in London, Milan, and beyond. She was once signed with the Visage International Model Agency in Switzerland.
For her birthday in 2024, Carlton wished Destiny a “blessed magickal” special day on Instagram. Wrote the mom, “Happy birthday my love I am so proud of the powerful feminine! A mystickal soul that illuminates my life everyday, so truly blessed to be ur Mother. You are my everything … I f--king love u to the moon and back.”
Mysteri Gebbia also shares snaps from her life today on Instagram. Among her travels, Miami Beach and Aspen, Colorado have been a few stops on her itinerary since she celebrated a “beyond magickal 21st” birthday, as posted on Instagram in October 2024. Carlton created her own post to say she was “so proud of the divine feminine that empowers [her].”
In July of that year, the women celebrated little brother Cross’ 13th birthday in Cancun, “surrounded by beauty,” Carlton shared on her Instagram. Zip-lining and encounters with wild animals were just part of the fun to mark the milestone moment for her son.
Where does Carlton Gebbia live today?
After selling her famous Beverly Hills home in 2020, Carlton now calls Miami Beach home (more on that below).
Is Carlton Gebbia still married?
Carlton and David Gebbia officially divorced in 2018. After nearly 18 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation in 2016. David filed for divorce one year later, and the Venetian-inspired goth castle went on the market. But Carlton seemed to be blindsided by the split, as she later said on Instagram that she was “the last to find out” about the divorce, adding, “U broke my heart.”
The estranged couple tried to live under the same roof in LA, “which was odd, to say the least,” Carlton said on the Miss Understood Podcast with Rachel Uchitel. Later, the parents separately moved to Florida at the cusp of COVID-19 and called “a truce” so they could come together for the kids’ milestones. However, in recent times, they were “not great,” Carlton reported.
Is Carlton Gebbia dating?
Since “healing” from what she described as a contentious divorce, Carlton was “contemplating” getting back into dating, she said in the Nov. 2024 podcast episode. “I certainly do look at pretty things, but right now, I just want to focus on the projects that I want to get going,” she said.
What’s next for Carlton Gebbia?
Now based in Miami, Florida, Carlton hopes to put the architectural skills she once applied to her LA mansion to good use, she revealed in the aforementioned podcast episode. Said Carlton, “I have been wanting to design a boutique hotel that is focused on my beliefs, which is nature, spirituality. I’m right now designing rooms that will either be in a 13-floor boutique hotel or I’ll have 13 rooms on a five-floor, it depends.”
The number 13, specifically, holds great significance in Wicca, often a representation of the 13 lunar cycles or the number of witches in a traditional coven.
Although such a hotel has yet to come to fruition, Carlton had her eye on several art deco-style places in need of renovation, she continued on the 2024 podcast episode. What’s more, energy-efficient boilers and a paranormal-themed TV show were some other projects Carlton had in the works.
Inside Carlton Gebbia's time on RHOBH Season 4
When audiences were first introduced to the proud Wiccan mom of three and their gothic-style mansion in Beverly Hills, daughters Destiny, Mysteri, and son, Cross Gebbia, were only 11, 9, and 2, respectively. The Londoner and South African, then married to American businessman David Gebbia, quickly hit it off with fellow Englishwoman Lisa Vanderpump, though energies weren’t aligned with longtime Housewife Kyle Richards. Carlton’s rift with the latter over her pentagram tattoo (as seen in the video above) became quite the pointed discussion at the Season 4 reunion.
