Teresa Giudice hopes to return for the 15th season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” and she’s open to a cast that includes returning co-stars and new friends.
RHONJ is currently on “pause” with the possibility of a complete reboot with new cast members looming. During a December 2024 interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” Giudice confirmed she definitely wants to return to the Bravo reality show she first started in 2009.
“Of course I want to stick with it because it’s like, you know, it’s like what I know,” she said. “And so I definitely want to stick with it and hopefully, you know, we are asked back.”
When asked if she liked the idea of adding new cast members into the mix, Giudice replied, “Of course. I love new blood and I love to make new friends. I’m all about that. So yeah, I think that would be fun.”
Teresa Giudice’s Dream Cast Would Include 3 of Her Longtime Co-Stars
The whole cast of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” could be in jeopardy following a volatile 14th season that left the group so divided that they didn’t even have a traditional reunion.
During an appearance on the “Give Them Lala” podcast, Giudice was asked who she would want to see return next season, and she didn’t hesitate to mention her Bravo besties. “Well I think it would be obviously me,“ she told host Lala Kent. “Obviously Jennifer Aydin, Dolores [Catania], Jackie Goldschneider.”
Notably not included on her list was Giudice’s estranged sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.
Andy Cohen Shut Down RHONJ Casting Rumors
BravoIn October, the Instagram fan account @realhousewiveszone shared a rumor that Giudice, Catania, and Aydin were all expected to return for season 15. Aydin claimed she was returning as she clapped back at a commenter during an Instagram Live.
But on the October 16 episode of the Sirius XM show “Andy Cohen Live,” Bravo producer Andy Cohen promptly shut down the rumors. “No. That’s not happening,” Cohen said of the false report. “We’ve made no decisions on the ‘Real Housewives [of New Jersey]’.”
“Jennifer Aydin confirmed that she’s returning???!!” he asked. “No, no, no. We’ve done nothing, we’ve done [absolutely]…I mean, well no actually we’ve done plenty. But that’s not, that’s not what’s …no!”
“Wait ‘til Bravo or I says something, how about that?” Cohen added of the future of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” cast.
