Since The Real Housewives of New Jersey launched season 12, all kinds of rumours have been circulating about Teresa Giudice’s boyfriend, Louie Ruelas. Teresa has said that at the moment she’s all about “love, love, love” and anyone attempting to dim her shine quite frankly isn’t welcome to.
However, it seems that many of her castmates and friends aren’t convinced that Louie is the great guy that Teresa thinks he is. Margaret Josephs hasn’t been shy in coming forward with her thoughts on the rumours and she and Teresa have had a huge falling out during season 12. Housewives from different shows and RHONJ viewers have been getting Brooks Ayers vibes from Louie Ruelas in 2022.
