Where do Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga stand with each other now after their bitter feud?
Talk about a Christmas miracle
No, you haven’t woken up in a parallel universe. No, your Peacock app is not glitching. Teresa Giudice and Joe are actually on good terms right now, and for longtime RHONJ lovers, that sentence alone feels wild.
After years of explosive arguments, icy silence, and family gatherings that felt more like battlegrounds, the feud that defined an entire era of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has quietly come to an end.
Even more shocking, it didn’t happen on camera. It happened in real life. So how did we get here, and where do Teresa and Joe really stand now?
Teresa and Joe made up?!

Against all odds, yes, they did.
The reconciliation became public around BravoCon 2025, when Teresa confirmed that she and Joe had finally repaired their relationship after years of tension.
What makes this moment feel different from past almost makeups is the way it unfolded.
You might need to sit down for this. Teresa reportedly reached out first, and the siblings met privately to talk things through before looping in their spouses.
That alone is a huge shift from the old days, where every issue immediately became a group argument or a reunion blowup.
Joe has been clear that he was open to peace, but only if it was real and not just for appearances.
From everything shared so far, this wasn’t a surface-level truce.
There were emotional conversations, acknowledgement of past hurt, and a mutual understanding that life is too short to keep holding onto resentment. For two people who have lost both parents and spent years blaming each other, that realisation hits hard.
For RHONJ viewers who watched this feud spiral from season three onward, this is major. This wasn’t a quick apology or a forced family dinner. This was a slow, intentional reset.
They’re spending Christmas together?!
Yes. And this is the detail that really seals the deal.
Joe confirmed to Extra TV that he and his family are spending Christmas Eve with Teresa and her family, calling it a blessing and expressing real gratitude that they’ve reached this place.
Melissa is hosting and leaning into their Italian traditions, including the Feast of the Seven Fishes, which honestly feels symbolic, per Bravo.
What’s also important here is that this Christmas gathering is not being filmed. This isn’t a storyline. This isn’t a setup for drama. Melissa has described it as private, intentional, and focused on healing. For a family that has spent over a decade processing their pain in front of Bravo cameras, choosing to keep this moment off-screen speaks volumes.
So where do they stand now? In a word, stable. Not perfect, not magically healed overnight, but stable and respectful. Both sides are focused on moving forward, prioritising the kids, and not reopening old wounds. They’re communicating, showing up, and choosing family over pride.
People who love RHONJ have seen every version of this feud. Watching it finally end, quietly and intentionally, might be the most shocking Real Housewives plot twist of all!
