Melissa Gorga shared that both her and Teresa Giudice’s families are “happier” since leveling down to “almost zero” communication.
“I think it took us a while to get to that point to realize that this might be what it is, and we need to accept it. I think, finally, everyone’s breathing,” Gorga said in Thursday’s episode of her PodcastOne podcast, “On Display.”
The status of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” co-stars’ relationship came up when Gorga’s guest, Denise Richards, gave her “a lot of credit” for continuing to film the Bravo reality series with her estranged sister-in-law despite it being “very difficult” to do so.
“Ugh, you have no idea,” Gorga replied. “It’s definitely been a roller coaster, up and down, and we’re about to air [Season 14] in the spring, and it’s very, very different. Like, we literally don’t even speak to each other.”
Richards, 52, then asked Melissa, 44, whether her husband, Joe Gorga, is on speaking terms with his sister, to which the Envy owner replied, “No, zero.”
Melissa recently discussed her “unfortunate” situation with Giudice, 51, during an interview with “Entertainment Tonight.”
“It is the new normal. I think it just is what it is. I always say it’s unfortunate. I’ll never be, like, happy about that,” she told the outlet earlier this month.
However, Gorga insisted both families are “living” their lives and “happy.”
Giudice appears to be on the same page, as she brushed off being booed at BravoCon 2023 after confidently telling fans that the “chapter’s closed” between the castmates.
“The feeling is mutual,” Melissa told Pvnew just one month later.
Despite the sisters-in-law no longer being on speaking terms, they still filmed some group scenes together for the forthcoming season of “RHONJ.”
The two have been feuding on and off for years, but it escalated after Giudice and her husband, Luis Ruelas, accused Melissa of cheating on Joe during the explosive Season 13 finale.
Melissa has denied the allegations, but it resulted in the Gorgas skipping Giudice and Ruelas’ August 2022 wedding.
