Gia Giudice recently offered an update on her career in law and her relationship with her boyfriend, Christian Carmichael.
As the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member’s family, including her parents, Teresa Giudice, 51, and Joe Giudice, 51, and step-father Luis Ruelas, 48, wished her a happy 23rd birthday, Gia revealed that after graduating from Rutgers University last year with a degree in criminal justice, as well as a minor degree in sociology, she’s preparing to start law school in September.
“School is done for me right now,” Gia confirmed to BravoTV.com on January 9. “I am working for Rymax right now, which is a marketing company; they’re basically an incentive rewards company. And I’m working with their law team to basically just shadow what they’re doing with the contracting between the vendors and the company.”
“I think I want to get into family law,” she continued. “Obviously once I go into law school, I’ll get a better feel of what I want to do.”
In addition to studying for her Law School Admission Test (LSAT), Gia is enjoying time with Christian, whom she traveled to Europe with last summer.
“My boyfriend and I just went on a European cruise,” she revealed. “We went to the South of France and Spain, and it was seriously an amazing cruise.”

“My boyfriend is great,” she added. “We’ve been together for about four years now. We’re going pretty strong.”
That said, Gia confirmed that marriage “is not in the cards right now.”
“I definitely want to finish school, he’s working on his career. So definitely we just want our careers set and everything settled before thinking about any of that. We’re still very young,” she noted.
Over the weekend, as Gia was flooded with birthday messages on social media, Christian posted a photo of the two of them on his Instagram Story, along with a sweet message.
“Happy birthday!! I love you,” he wrote, along with a red heart emoji.
Elsewhere on Instagram, Teresa posted a birthday tribute to her eldest child.
“Happy 23rd birthday to my beautiful Gia,” she shared with a slideshow of photos of Gia. “You are not only brilliant but also a true leader, guiding your sisters with love and wisdom ALWAYS!! Your amazing qualities shine through in every role you play, a phenomenal daughter and an incredible sister. May this special day bring you joy and all the happiness your heart desires. Keep inspiring us all with your remarkable spirit! LOVE YOU Mommy.”
Gia then received birthday wishes from dad Joe.
“Happy Birthday sweetheart,” he stated with a pic of the two of them.
Even Luis had kind words for Gia on her special day.
“Happy Birthday to my incredible stepdaughter, Gia! You are a force to be reckoned with, full of strength and fierceness. The world is ready to witness all the amazing things you’re going to conquer,” he proclaimed. “Keep living life to its fullest and dancing like nobody’s watching. Here’s to another year of incredible adventures! LOVE YOU.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime early this year.
