When Melissa Gorga started by saying there was “a lot of life to be had,” Rachel added, “Considering I’m pregnant!”
The businesswoman subsequently spoke to People about her upcoming arrival, gushing about how “excited” she and John are to be a “party of six.”
Their family had not felt “complete” prior to her positive pregnancy test.
Rachel spoke to the outlet about their journey, breaking down the “roadblocks” in the IVF process.
“First of all, it costs a lot of money. But second of all, you’re on all these medications that just throw your body off,” she explained. “I was hormonal, breaking out so bad, tired and on edge; my mood was going up, down, up, down. I just felt like, ‘I can’t do this anymore.'”
When the couple conceived, their daughters — Gianella, 4, and Giuliana, 2 — were “over the top” thrilled about the news.
As for John’s 17-year-old son, Jaiden, from a previous relationship, whom Rachel adopted, he “loves being a big brother.”

Rachel gushed, “He’s such a family kid. I know there’s a big age gap, but he loves to hang out with the kid. Hhe and his girlfriend, they’ll actually come play with the kids for hours just to spend time with them.”
Jaiden, Gianella and Giuliana celebrated their future sibling with a family photo shoot, which Rachel shared via Instagram.
“When I was a little girl, I dreamt of my life as a mother, filling my future home with family and love,” she captioned the beach snaps. “I’m forever grateful to God for allowing me to live my dream every day.
“With full hearts, we are counting our many blessings as we excitedly anticipate becoming a family of 6,” the expectant star concluded.
Her pregnancy reveal comes as Andy Cohen hinted at a “RHONJ” reboot with “all fresh faces” — although the decision is not yet “definitive.”
Rachel has been a cast member since Season 13 of the Bravo show.
This year, she feuded with Teresa Giudice over the 52-year-old’s allegations that John is “the biggest drug dealer” — which she told Pvnew is “manipulation and gaslighting at its pinnacle.”
During Sunday’s sitdown, Rachel added, “Keep my mother f–king husband’s name out of your fat, f–king hot dog-lipped mouth.”
