Teresa Giudice is responding to rumors that her marriage to husband Luis “Louie” Ruelas is “on the rocks.”
Rumors began circulating earlier this month after an insider claimed that “red flags” have begun to surface in Teresa and Louie’s marriage. They claimed that the lawsuit-saddled businessman views The Real Housewives New Jersey star as his “meal ticket.”
“His ego has blown up, and his true colors are starting to show. You can see it on RHONJ, he wants to take over the narrative of the series. Luis knows he hit the jackpot, and he’s ready to cash in,” a source told Life & Style.
Teresa remained mum regarding the rumblings up until recently. She took to her podcast, Namaste B$tches, to dispel the chatter.
“They’re trying to say that your marriage is, like, shaky,” Teresa’s co-host Melissa Pfeister said to her.
“There’s no such thing. I love and adore him so much. No, there’s nothing shaky,” Teresa responded.
Teresa added jokingly, “I mean, maybe we shake together when we dance, but that’s about it. That’s the only time we’re doing any shaking, you know?”
Teresa speculated that the unnamed source is spreading the rumors to insinuate that she’s using them for a “storyline” ahead of RHONJ‘s 14th season.
“Believe me, I don’t play like that. I play, like, what’s really going on in my life,” she asserted. “I don’t need a storyline like that. I have a lot going on in my life. You know, I have my cooking channel, my YouTube cooking channel, that’s doing amazing. I have my podcast with Melissa [Pfeister]. I have a lot going on with the children.”
Hammering her point home, Teresa told PEOPLE that not only do she and Louie still have that spark for one another, but their sex life is also still going strong almost a year into their marriage.
“I can’t keep my hands off of him, he can’t keep his hands off of me. I can’t keep my tongue out of his mouth, he can’t keep his tongue out of my mouth,” Teresa overshared. “I’m really so attracted to him, and vice versa, and I love every minute of it. You have to be! Otherwise, why would I get married?”
“If you don’t [have sex often], then that’s not normal. That means you love the person you’re with and want to be with … I mean if not, then why be with that person?”
