The 24-year-old is behind a viral TikTok song that she made up aged 10 when her mum and uncle Joe Gorga had a falling out during RHONJ – and she has nothing but praise for stepdad Luis Ruelas

Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) star Teresa Giudice’s mini-me daughter, Gia Giudice, grew up in front of the camera thanks to her mum’s role on the reality show. Now, she’s taking centre stage as one of the stars of the new Bravo show Next Gen NYC.

Premiering on June 3, the show, according to its press release, “follows a tangled web of friends raised in the spotlight – or at least close enough for good lighting – as they stumble into adulthood one brunch, break-up and spontaneous decision at a time”. And already in the trailer, Gia seems to be in a heated exchange with another cast member. It looks like viewers are in for a good dose of drama.

With a degree in criminal justice from Rutgers University, the young diva is both beauty and brains. Here’s everything we know about Gia Giudice.

She wants to become a lawyer (in time)

In May 2023, Gia graduated from Rutgers University with a criminal justice degree. Proud mama Teresa celebrated her daughter’s milestone with an Instagram post: “I am so proud of my devoted and intelligent daughter, Gia, for graduating [from] a stellar university, a huge milestone to accomplish in life,” she wrote.

In February 2023, Gia landed a job with Kathleen Martínez, an attorney specialising in immigration law, per People. The decision might have been influenced by Gia’s father Joe, who was deported to his native Italy in 2019 after he and Teresa were indicted for fraud in 2013.

With the new show, however, it seems that Gia may be putting law school on hold. “Law will always be my passion, and I’m honestly just having fun right now with my influencer career and just doing things with you guys. So I’m really happy, and I am living out this part of my life right now,” she said.
