RHONJ Star’s Teen Daughter Is Ready for Her Next Chapter

Heavy A RHONJ star's daughter will be heading to college in the fall.

A “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star has shared big news about her family. Teresa Giudice confirmed that her second-oldest daughter, Gabriella Giudice, has chosen which college she will attend in the fall of 2023.

“My beautiful porcelain doll,” Teresa Giudice captioned an Instagram post on March 17, 2023. The caption accompanied a school photo of Gabriella Giudice, who wore an off-the-shoulder black top and a cross necklace for picture day. Gabriella Giudice is notoriously private and is rarely featured in her mom’s social media posts. She keeps to herself and doesn’t like to be the center of attention.

“I loved you from the moment you opened your eyes. You are a joy, a wonderful daughter, a voice of reason, the greatest big sister. You, Gabriella, will go on to do great things. You are so kind, inclusive & organized! My mind soars with possibilities for you,” she continued.

Teresa Giudice then confirmed that Gabriella Giudice has committed to the University of Michigan. “I’m so proud of you – as my daughter but especially as a kick ass human! I love you Gabriella- today & all of my tomorrows,” she wrote.

Teresa Giudice Has Spoken Highly of Gabriella Giudice’s Focus on Her Education

Teresa Giudice has always spoken so highly of her daughters, and has always praised Gabriella Giudice for her academics and her drive in school.

“I can’t wait to see what college she goes to, because she is my smartest kid,” the mom of four told Bravo’s The Daily Dish in May 2022. “She does amazing at school. She’s so smart. [I] get letters from all the teachers all the time saying how amazing she is,” she added.

In an interview on an October 2022 episode of the “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast, Teresa Giudice explained that her daughter doesn’t like to be on television — and that she’s been super focused on school.

Gabriella Giudice will be the first of the Giudice girls to move out of state to attend college; her older sister Gia Giudice is studying criminal justice at Rutgers University in New Jersey, according to People magazine.
