Three years ago, Joe and his wife,
On the I Do, Part 2 podcast, Teresa was asked whether she’ll return to the show next season.
“I don’t know. I mean, we’re waiting for Bravo to make a decision. That’s where we’re at right now,” she said. “So whatever they say. If they want me back, you know, I’m willing to go back.”
She then addressed the status of her relationship with Melissa and Joe.
“My brother and my sister-in-law, I’m not speaking to, but I did reach out [to them],” said the star. “Because you know what, time does heal all wounds, and you know, when time goes by, you forget things … I want to be a good example for my children. I have four daughters, and … I always tell them, ‘I always want you guys to get along. Please always be there for each other … Be a family, be a beautiful family. If someone doesn’t get along, just be the bigger person, try to make it work.'”
Teresa shared that she has to “practice what I preach.”
“So that’s why with my brother, I reached out to him,” she continued. “I put it out there … So now I’m like, you know what, never say never. Because before, I was just like, ‘Absolutely not. I’m Italian. I’m very stubborn … It’s never gonna happen.’ But now … my brother hasn’t really been in my life [for] three years.”
The star said Joe responded after she reached out. “I think we’re gonna meet and … speak,” Teresa hinted.
Earlier this year, certain castmates test-filmed with potential newbies for the upcoming season.
