What happened to Teresa Giudice?
On March 24, 2022, Teresa Guidice's daughter Gia raised concern among RHONJ fans when she took to social media and posted pictures of her famous mother in the hospital.
Gia shared with her Instagram followers: "Such a trooper I love you. Pray for a speedy recovery I love you @teresagiudice."
Teresa's lawyer James Leonard Jr told The U.S. Sun about her health scare: "Teresa was admitted to the hospital last night and had a non-cosmetic emergency procedure this morning.
"She is recuperating and is looking forward to a speedy recovery. She thanks everyone for their prayers and well wishes."
A day later on Friday, March 25, Teresa's brother Joe Gorga updated The U.S. Sun and commented: "She’s doing great. She is home now. She will share what happened soon."
Teresa and Joe's RHONJ co-star Dolores Catania also chimed in to bring fans up to date.
At the time, Dolores told E! News: "She had her appendix out. Now it just takes time to heal. But it was emergency surgery so she’s in a lot of pain.
"She’s not feeling good at all, it’s bad. She’s in a tremendous amount of pain."
Following her recovery, the Bravo superstar tied the knot with Luis Ruelas on August 6, 2022, and held their nuptials at the Park Chateau in East Brunswick, New Jersey.
After the couple went Instagram official on December 22, 2020, Luis popped the question almost a year later on October 21, 2021, while vacationing in Greece.
Where is Teresa now?
Teresa and Luis' August wedding was attended by several Real Housewives alums such as Kenya Moore, Margaret Josephs, Phaedra Parks, Dorinda Medley, Cynthia Bailey, and Chanel Ayan.
On September 8, 2022, it was revealed that Teresa was cast to compete in the 31st season of Dancing With the Stars.
With her partner DWTS Pasha, Teresa recreated her 2009 fight with Danielle Staub
In the long-running reality program, she was paired with pro-dancer Pasha Pashkov, they even recreated the infamous table flip fight scene she had with Danielle Staub back in 2009.
Show insiders confessed to The U.S. Sun: "Teresa has told friends she’s super stressed about DWTS. She doesn’t think she’ll make it past the first round.
"She’s not a natural dancer- she only agreed to it to try something new but it’s a lot harder than she expected and now she’s worried she’ll be out first."
The Bravolebrity's stint on DWTS was years in the making and the team behind the series asked her several times to participate years prior.
On Wednesday, September 21, the TV personality revealed on her podcast Namaste B$tches that she turned down previous opportunities to take part in the popular program.
While chatting with co-host Michelle Pfeister, Teresa disclosed: "I was asked when I came home from prison. That was the first time and I couldn't because I had to be on Bravo first.
"They wanted me to be on camera with them first, so I asked Bravo and Bravo was like, 'no!' and I was like 'oh my god.'
"I was so excited but I was also torn and I was like, how am I going to do that…leaving my kids again because I just had left them for 11 and a half months."
She added: "I was like… I don't know if I could do this, but it was something that I always wanted to do, so I didn't know.
"It was like over five, six years ago. Yeah, it was a long time ago and you know, listen... everything happens for a reason because I remember I got asked…but I was in prison."
