Gia Giudice dropped a hint about the upcoming season of Bravo spinoff, “Next Gen NYC.”
The eldest daughter of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice and her ex, Joe, addressed fans in a TikTok Video on January 13, as she revealed she was spending time in the Bahamas, where her father lives.
Giudice also confirmed her “Next Gen NYC” co-stars all joined her in the Bahamas and were set to have a family dinner at her dad’s house. Joe Giudice has been living in the Bahamas since 2021, after being deported from the United States after serving a prison sentence for fraud charges, per The Daily Dish. He last appeared in person on Bravo in 2020, on the RHONJ Season 10 finale.
Gia Giudice Revealed How the ‘Next Gen NYC’ Cast Trip Came About
In a “Get Ready With Me’ TikTok, Giudice, 25, revealed she was in the Bahamas with her “Next Gen NYC” cast mates.
“So today I flew into the Bahamas and guess who else is here?” she teased. “Basically the entire cast of ‘Next Gen.’ I am so excited. And to welcome them into the Bahamas, they are coming over to my dad’s house tonight for a little family dinner.”
Giudice said the meetup was a last-minute plan.
“It literally happened so last minute,” she shared. “They had called me and they said they want to book a trip, and it just so happened to be the week that I was looking to come here. And it all worked out. We booked our flights, we made it here, and now we are all in the Bahamas together.”
Guidice added that her family prepared a whole spread of Italian meats and cheeses and said she was “excited” for her friends to try her Nonna’s lasagna and meatballs. “It’s going to be a big family dinner,” she added.
In the comment section, fans speculated on the possibility of Juicy Joe making a return to Bravo on the next season of “Next Gen.”
“Next Gen NYC” stars Giudice, Riley Burress (daughter of “Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Kandi Buress), Brooks Marks (son of “Real Housewife of Salt Lake City” star Meredith Marks), Ariana Bierman (daughter of “Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Kim Zolciak), as well as Ava Dash, Emira D’Spain, Shai Fruchter, Georgia McCann, Hudson McLeroy, and Charlie Zakkour. In October 2025, Bravo confirmed that the cast would return for a second season.
Gia Giudice Didn’t See Her Dad Over the Holidays
Giudice is very close to her father and often spends time with him over the New Year’s holiday. But during an Amazon Live stream in December, she admitted, “I’m not visiting my dad this New Year’s.”
The young entrepreneur explained that she had too much going on with work to make the trip over the holiday. “Honestly, work has just been really crazy,” she shared. “I am planning to visit him in January, once work slows down a little bit.“
Sorry GIA we all adore you but now your an adult, surely you can see how wrong it is putting your dad back on BRAVO. After what your poor MOM was put through, he let her go to jail when her only crime was trusting her hubby. He humiliated her so many times during his time on RHOJ.
