Teresa Giudice took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday to reveal some exciting news about her 18-year-old daughter, Gabriella Giudice.
Along with the screenshot of an email sent from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University Bloomington, the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member congratulated Gabriella, who she shares with ex-husband Joe Giudice, on receiving direct admission into the school.
“Congratulations Gabriella getting into the #8 business school in the US,” Teresa wrote on January 3, along with the email, which revealed Gabriella was granted direct admission, meaning she won’t have to go through the often lengthy admissions process that schools typically require.
“You should be very proud of this accomplishment … We are delighted to welcome you to the entering Direct Admit class. We know that you will be a great contributor to Indiana University and the Kelly School of Business,” the email continued, in part.
Gabriella’s big news came amidst a family getaway in Tulum, Mexico, with her mom, her step-dad Luis Ruelas, her sisters, Gia Giudice, 21, Milania Giudice, 16, and Audriana Giudice, 13, and her step-brother, Louie Jr.
During the trip, Teresa has shared a number of group pics, including one of herself and her daughters wearing colorful outfits at the resort where they were staying.
In another series of photos, Teresa and her daughters were joined by Luis and his oldest son, as well as Gia’s boyfriend, Christian Carmichael, for a New Year’s Eve bash on the beach.
“White Party New Year’s Eve 2023,” she captioned her second pic.
Weeks prior, while celebrating Gabriella’s 18th birthday, Teresa shared a couple of photos of the two of them together, the most recent of which was taken at her and Luis’ wedding in August.
“Everyday I learn from you, I get to know [and] watch the world through your eyes. You are so talented, thoughtful, smart and kind, I love being your mom [and] I can’t wait to see what the future holds!” Teresa captioned the images. “Thank you for being the best big sister, helping me so much around the house and showing your sisters the true meaning of family!”
“All of my love to you on your 18th birthday Gabriella!” she added.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 13 premieres Tuesday, February 7, on Bravo.
