Gia Giudice (born January 8, 2001) is an American reality television personality, podcaster, influencer, and entrepreneur. She is the daughter of reality star Teresa Giudice. She is best known for her appearances on the Bravo reality television programs The Real Housewives of New Jersey and Next Gen NYC, as well as Fox competition series Special Forces: World's Toughest Test.

Early life and education

Gia Giudice was born to Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice on January 8, 2001.[1] She has three sisters: Gabriella Giudice, Milania Giudice, and Audriana Giudice.[2]

In 2014, both of Giudice’s parents were convicted and sentenced to prison for failure to file taxes.[3] Although Giudice was a teenager at the time, she was forced to help care for her younger sisters during her parents’ absence.[4] Her mother was sentenced to 11 months and returned home in 2015.[5][6] Her father served 41 months, but immediately after his release from prison in 2019, he was transferred into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody; he was deported to Italy later that year.[7][8] Her parents divorced in 2020 after 20 years of marriage.[9]

In 2022, her mother Teresa married Luis "Louie" Ruelas, making Ruelas her stepfather.[10] Giudice lived with her parents and siblings until 2025, when she moved to an apartment in Jersey City.[11][12]

Giudice graduated from Rutgers University in May 2023 with a degree in criminal justice.[13] Although Giudice has announced her intention to become a lawyer, she revealed in 2024 that she was pausing her law school pursuit while she pursues other opportunities.[14]

Career

The Real Housewives of New Jersey

Giudice began her career appearing on television with her mother, Teresa on The Real Housewives of New Jersey when she was eight years old.[15] Much of Giudice’s upbringing took place in the public eye, with the conflict between members of her family driving a significant amount of the conflict in the series.[16] During the third season of the series while she was ten years old, Gia performed a song she had written about the familial issues between her mother and her uncle, Joe Gorga.[17] Several years later in 2021, the lyrics, “waking up in the morning, thinking about so many things” went viral as an audio sample on TikTok.[18]

Although she was not involved in conflict in the earlier seasons, Giudice took a more active role in the series once she got older.[19] In 2021, castmate Jackie Goldschneider mentioned an untrue rumor that Giudice was using cocaine at parties, which became a major storyline for the eleventh season.[20] In 2022, Giudice had a public feud with Joe over comments made by Joe about her father that Giudice felt were disrespectful.[21]

Next Gen NYC

In April 2025, Giudice was announced to be joining a new Bravo reality series Next Gen NYC, which follows the children of several Real Housewives stars and their friends as they navigate careers, relationships, and independence in New York City.[22][23] Giudice’s involvement was a major part of the promotion for the show, with her mother Teresa making cameo appearances to advise Giudice.[24][25] Guidice was often portrayed as a "mini-Teresa" who was unafraid of confrontation.[26][27]

After the series aired, Giudice was the victim of online rumors that she was fired from the series after allegedly being expelled from school for plagiarism (despite having already graduated).[28] Additionally, rumors circulated online that Giudice was engaged in a private feud with network executive Andy Cohen.[29] Both Giudice and Cohen confirmed these rumors were untrue.[30] In October 2025, the series was renewed for a second season; Giudice was confirmed to return with the rest of the cast.[31]

Special Forces: World's Toughest Test

In August 2025, Giudice joined the cast of Fox competition series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test alongside her mother Teresa.[32][33] Teresa quit the show during the second episode after being unable to watch Giudice box with fellow contestant Christie Pearce Rampone.[34][35] Despite being the youngest on the cast,[36][37] Giudice later jointly won the season with Shawn Johnson East, beating 16 other contestants.[38]

In 2025, Giudice launched a podcast, "Casual Chaos," which discusses her life in public.[39] In December of that year, Giudice signed with Creative Arts Agency for representation.[40]

Personal life

Despite longstanding feuds between her mother and other members of her family, Giudice has a close relationship with her extended family, including uncle Joe Gorga and aunt Melissa Gorga.[41]

Giudice has been dating Christian Carmichael since 2020.[42] Their relationship was featured on the first season of Next Gen NYC.[43] In 2025, AI-generated posts circulated online claiming that Giudice and Carmichael had secretly married; however, Giudice confirmed these posts were not accurate.[44]

In 2025, Giudice drew criticism after she publicly requested a plea for her father, Joe Giudice, from President Donald Trump.[45] Giudice apologized for posting the request on the Fourth of July and indicated she had been inspired by the recent pardon of Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley.[46]
