The Love Bubble occupied by Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas may be all they have left as they are in $3,000,000 in debt with the IRS.Teresa Giudice, Louie Ruelas' Thanksgiving 2021 Meal

Teresa and Louie’s tax debts:

People obtained court docs proving the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars “have been hit with over $3 million in tax liens.” A tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property when you neglect or fail to pay a tax debt.

 

In December 2024, Louie was issued another lien for $163,523.94. The New Jersey Courts website shows the case remains open, per the publication.

White collar crime family:

Teresa’s new husband is a lot like her ex, Joe Giudice … just in a different font.

 

The RHONJ star went to camp – federal prison – in 2015 for mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud when she was married to her dorters’ dad.

“I know in my heart I was not supposed to go there. I know I only went because I’m in the public eye,” she told People in 2022. “Listen, I’ll shout it out to the world. I signed two contracts that Joe was flipping two homes he was buying. That’s all I did. I knew nothing about what he was doing. I mean, I have nothing to hide. Like, I did my time already, you know?”

 

Teresa love love loves Luis:

Fresh out the slammer, Teresa met Louie on the Jersey Shore. About 2 years later, they were engaged.

During an episode of Watch What Happens Live at the time, Tre revealed she wasn’t signing a prenup. “I mean, I would [sign a prenup], you know, if he said so. I’m so very easy about that.”

 

Teresa explained that Louie “definitely has more than me. I would never take anything from him. I’m so not like that.” WWHL host Andy Cohen and Bob Harper – who was the second guest – were adamant about Teresa signing a prenup. But, Teresa’s oldest dorter, Gia Guidice, didn’t think it was important. So, c’est la vie!
