TERESA GIUDICE

Teresa Giudice,co-star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is a true Jersey girl born and raised. Her parents emigrated from Italy and raised both Teresa and her brother, Giuseppe, in an Italian Catholic home. She grew up in Paterson, New Jersey, where she met her husband, Joe. The couple played house together as children and now after being married for more than eight years, they are in the process of building their own massive dream home.

Joe, an entrepreneur, owns several successful businesses throughout New Jersey and Teresa spends most of her time raising their three beautiful daughters: Gia, Gabriella and Milania. She manages each of the girls' busy schedules, shuffling them from dance, gymnastics, acting, voice and guitar lessons -- and Teresa herself teaches them all how to be "fabulous." Before becoming a housewife, Teresa earned a degree in fashion marketing and management from Berkeley College. She worked in the fashion industry in New York and hopes to one day return to the fashion world, but is focused for now on raising her children. She's also involved in community service, and serves as a committee member for Project Ladybug, a foundation created by Dina Manzo.

Teresa is proud to be from the Garden State and happy to live and raise her kids there. She has a beach house on the Jersey Shore and loves to entertain her family and friends while enjoying all that life has to offer.
