Heavy/Getty Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas.
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice is addressing rumors about her marriage to her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
On the February 14 episode of her podcast, “Namaste B$tches,” Giudice stated that rumors have circulated that she and Ruelas are divorcing after she traveled without him for an event in Miami.
“I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ … I know that we are attached at the hip,” said Giudice.
The mother of four also stated that Ruelas had initiated the idea for her to travel with her friends.
“I loved that he said that,” said Giudice.
While Giudice did not appreciate the rumors, she stated that she does not necessarily mind the press.
“I guess it’s kind of good that people — you know, good stories, bad stories, whatever is out there, it’s a good thing. If they keep talking about you, that means they are still interested in you. If you want to put lies out there, go right ahead. I don’t care,” said the RHONJ star.
Giudice, who began starring on RHONJ in 2009, also stated that while she “laugh[s]” at rumors, Ruelas “still has to get used to it.”
“It’s not his world. I’ve been doing this now for a long time. And it takes a certain type of person to not let it affect — you can’t let it affect you,” said Giudice.
