In an interview with TV Line, Teresa Giudice spoke about patching up with Gorga:

“ My brother knows me really well, and he keeps saying it will never go back to the way it was. So, I love that ‘cause I am the older one and he is two years younger than me. He tells me that I’m the matriarch of the family and he’ll follow my lead, and he knows what I want.”

“ So, we both want the same thing. So, definitely not going to ever go back to where it was.” 

Melissa, too, spoke about the patch-up and who reached out first. 

She said:

“Things are moving forward we are trying. And it feels really good. We’re all trying. And it feels really good. We’re all getting a sense of relief. I think that some life situation may have happened for Teresa, and something struck her, and she reached out, and we were receptive.”

For those unversed, Teresa and her daughter Gia participated in the reality show, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. 

Gia Giudice won the show along with Shawn Johnson. 

Teresa remarked at BravoCon:

“ I was on Special Forces with Gia and then she was telling me to let the past go and she was regarding. So, as I was thinking about her dad, you know, letting that go, I thought about my brother. I’m like, I just want peace in my life.” 

Gia has also spoken about reconciling with Uncle Joe Gorga in an interview with US Weekly. 

She stated:

“ He was my best friend. I think it’s a relationship that we’re both excited to rebuild and work on.”
