RHONJ Star Luis Ruelas Plays With Joe Gorga’s Son

Dolores Catania held her annual charity softball game on Wednesday night, and as cameras rolled for the upcoming 14th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, a number of key moments took place between the cast.

In addition to Teresa Giudice‘s husband, Luis Ruelas, 48, playing a game of catch with Joe Gorga‘s son, Bill and Jennifer Aydin, 46, were seemingly caught arguing with Margaret Josephs‘ husband, Joe Benigno, before shocking fans as Bill appeared to make amends with Joe G. following their altercation last year at BravoCon.

“Joe Gorga [and] Bill Aydin just wrapped that long scene and they hugged and Joe said I love you to Bill,” an insider revealed to Bravo and Cocktails on Instagram, giving a nod to the public spat Joe and Melissa Gorga, 44, had with the Aydins in New York City.

Prior to their reported reconciliation, All About the Real Housewives shared a video in which Joe and Melissa could be seen walking over to Bill.

“The Gorgas approach Bill Aydin despite not speaking to Jennifer Aydin after BravoCon altercation,” they wrote in the caption of their video on Instagram.

In another post, also shared by All About the Real Housewives on Instagram, the Aydins seemed to be having some sort of heated chat as Bill raised his hands and Jennifer stood with her nose in the air.

Another post from All About the Real Housewives on Instagram showed Luis throwing a ball back and forth with Joe G.’s son, despite Teresa, 51, and Joe’s ongoing family feud.

As RHONJ fans may have heard, Teresa and the Gorgas have been keeping their distance in recent weeks, despite having attended group events with their castmates. And when Joe celebrated his birthday with his co-stars, Teresa and Luis were nowhere to be seen.

“It’s still an open wound for Joe. He’s upset and of course would’ve loved to have his sister at the party, but their relationship is over at this point,” a source told The U.S. Sun of their dynamic weeks ago. “This is the new norm. They are completely distant and not talking to each other or acknowledging each other even when in the same room.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo in early 2024.
