Star of Real Housewives of New Jersey Melissa Gorga celebrated her 20th wedding anniversary with Joe Gorga on Instagram on Tuesday.
The 45-year-old reality star posted a collection of photos of the two together.
In several photos, Teresa Giudice’s sister-in-law was seen in a skimpy bikini bottom, which showed off her muscular body to its best advantage.
In one photo, she held melons in front of her chest in a cheeky pose on the beach as Joe took photos. In another, the two got their feet wet on the shores of Capri, Italy.
’20 years TWENTY. Happy anniversary @joeygorga I felt like a girl when I married you at 25 but man I was pretty smart,’ the brunette beauty wrote in her caption.

“The good and the bad, the ups and downs, people watching our every move like we’re in a fishbowl,” she added.
“We made it! All while inspiring and showing others what marriage really is and what it really could be.
‘My dream is that our children have followed us through the years and are just as happy in their marriages thank you for always loving me. #wedding #couples #rhonj’
Joe turns 50 on Wednesday.
This comes after she posed in a two-piece suit on the Amalfi Coast of Italy earlier this month.
She wore a striking royal blue swimsuit with gold star button-up fronts that exposed her stomach, and she wore sunglasses as her hair was loose.
Teresa and Melissa haven’t been close for years and rumors are swirling that they may not return for the next season of RHONJ, or that at least one of them may drop out.
There was a lot of tension on the Bravo show.
In July, Teresa released a cryptic message condemning those who spread hatred toward her and her fellow actors, while also calling for another cast change.
The star took her away Instagram to share the fiery post, in which she criticized the “toxic behavior” affecting her castmates and their families.

“What is happening off-camera on social media is absolutely disgusting and is fueled by toxic people who have nothing to do with the show or the cast and are only interested in promoting themselves by spreading their hate through false narratives and lies,” the former bodybuilder began.
“It’s affected all of us in the cast and our families,” she continued. “They’re attacking our children, they’re going after our businesses, and they’re turning something that’s supposed to be entertainment into something very dark and toxic.”
“This hate and toxicity has to stop. I ask everyone to stop the negativity towards my cast mates and all of our families. Enough is enough. Love, love, love, Teresa.”
While she didn’t provide any examples for reference and comments on her post were disabled, Teresa’s message comes against the backdrop of what is arguably the most chaotic season in the show’s history.
Not only did Teresa refuse to film scenes with her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, but the reunion was also canceled due to intense animosity between the cast members.
The news comes shortly after Gorga admitted she would be okay with a “change” to the show amid calls for a shake-up.
The star, who began her third season of RHONJ in 2011, spoke candidly about the future of the franchise a month after the reunion was called off due to animosity between her co-stars.

“Listen, I’m excited about what’s to come,” she said Page Six on Monday. ‘I think we’re ready for some kind of change. I don’t know what kind of change, but I’m curious to see what happens.’
She concluded: ‘I’m excited to see what the future holds and where this show goes.’
The brunette beauty, however, remains in the dark about Bravo’s plans for the show. “You know as well as I do,” she noted.
Last week, Teresa was told she had been heavily photoshopped into a colorful bikini to resemble her teenage daughter Milania.
The next day the trolls were at it again, when the TV star was spotted wearing a Luxsea Swimwear bikini, with a scarf around her head and large sunglasses.
Follower Shonta Haayes asked in the comments, “Why is the railing bent?” The railing did indeed look bent, but it was hard to tell if that was the way it was built, or if the wood had aged that way, or if Teresa had used machining tools that caused the bend.
A follower named MostlyBravo added a crazy face emoji as she wrote, “The bend in the railing.”
Another mentioned her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga’s name and said she looked like her co-star: “She’s trying to look like Melissa.”
However, most comments raved about how amazing the reality TV siren looked in her tiny beige and ivory swimsuit
Giudice has been accused of photoshopping her bikini photos while in Mykonos, Greece. Trolls responded to the TV star while she was wearing a bikini. Follower Shonta Haayes asked in the comments section: ‘Why is the railing bent?’
The cookbook author, who has four children with her ex-husband Joe Giudice, looked absolutely stunning in her colorful bikini the day before.
But the 52-year-old reality star must have been using a strong filter, because at first glance it didn’t look like her.
There wasn’t a wrinkle, stretch mark or pimple in sight as the Bravo star was flawless from head to toe. One follower said in one word: ‘Photoshop.’
Some followers on Instagram didn’t believe it was her.
“Wow I thought it was Milania at first! Can I have your body, damn it?!” one follower said. Milania is the 18-year-old daughter of Teresa. She is also mother to Gia, 23, Gabriella, 19, and Audriana, 14.
Another follower compared her to a Real Housewives Of Atlanta veteran: “She’s turning into Kim Zolciak.”
She has been in Mykonos with her 49-year-old husband Ruelas for several days.
The lovebirds celebrated their second wedding anniversary, which takes place next week.
This comes after she said she believes ‘respect’ is the key to a successful marriage.
The TV star split from her first husband Joe Giudice in 2020 after more than two decades together.
She married Luis Ruelas in 2022 and admitted on their anniversary that it was all “very easy” for them.
She told E! News, “He’s amazing. He’s amazing. I think it’s really easy when you’re in love. And you just have to respect each other and always stay in your love bubble.”
Joe Gorga’s sister also noted that there have been a lot of false rumors going around about her husband, who was previously married to Marisa Dimartino Ruelas, since they started dating. She’s using her airtime on the upcoming season of the reality show to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were all wrong.

She added: ‘Since I met Louie, there have been people who have been spreading false stories and I’m proving it in black and white and you’ll see. We’ll see who’s been spreading lies.’
The couple, who are in love, started dating in July 2020 and bought their first home together just over a year later. They got engaged in October 2022 during a trip to the Greek island of Hydra.
Teresa and Joe, who have daughters Gia (23), Gabriella (19), Milania (17) and 14-year-old Audriana, had already separated long before, after pleading guilty to financial fraud in 2014.
In December 2015, Teresa was released from federal prison after serving 11 months of her 15-month sentence for wire, mail, and bankruptcy fraud.
Her then-husband was sentenced to 41 months in prison in March 2016 for the same crimes.
