Gia Giudice Weighs In on Antonia Gorga Joining Next Gen NYC

Gia Giudice recently addressed a question that caught the attention of fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, whether her cousin, Antonia Gorga, should join the Bravo spinoff Next Gen NYC, which Gia stars in.

The question came during a recent interview with Us Weekly, and Gia Giudice responded with honesty and clarity.

While the two families have been publicly estranged in recent years, Gia didn’t shy away from giving her perspective when asked if Antonia, the 20-year-old daughter of Melissa and Joe Gorga, might be a fit for the new series.

“A lot of our scenes involve us going out for drinks. She doesn’t turn 21 for another year,” Gia said. “I think it’s a different age bracket, but I wish her all the best, though.”

Gia, 24, made it clear that her response wasn’t personal but more about the logistics and tone of the show itself. Next Gen NYC, which features young adult cast members navigating life and relationships in the city, often includes scenes set in bars and clubs, settings that wouldn’t be a fit for someone under the legal drinking age.

Her comment also reflects a professional awareness of the show’s format and the dynamic between cast members, many of whom are in their mid-20s.

While the mention of their family’s estrangement may raise eyebrows among longtime fans, Gia kept her answer neutral and respectful.

As the Bravo universe continues to evolve with the younger generation stepping into the spotlight, questions about legacy casting and family ties are inevitable. But for now, Gia Giudice is carving out her own space on Next Gen NYC, and doing so with a measured approach, even when the questions get personal.

Even the get up and over sprayed hair Gia is in! She looks like one of the Gabor sisters! Gia was 13 going on 40 many moons ago. By now, she is a pearl clutching 65 year old Lunch Lady.

I find it so strange and sad that Gia is so focused on the lives of the 'grownups.' I get that she is now an adult, but Gia seems to have absolutely no life of her own! Ever since she was a girl, she has been obsessed with Tre and her friends. Gia never had same-age friends, rarely dates or has a social life with age-appropriate friends. I've seldom seen anything like it. And Gia IS very jealous of Antonia. Her response was right on the edge of snark and bitterness without actually being so. But we get it.

She was asked , and gave a good answer . I think also due to Antonia still being in college - won’t happen .

The Gorga and Guidice kids had such a good relationship. And they were pretty close in age.i hope that they all keep in touch. But I’m thinking they don’t. And that makes me sad .? I really wish that Joey and Teresa would get it together. I really do. I know it wishful thinking. But damn…

I'm just the opposite. In fact, I'd bet the farm that they've all stayed in touch, at least on SM, and probably even more than that with the older ones who are driving. With our people, first cousins are almost like siblings.

Cousins are like our siblings. That's a nice thought. I hope it's true.

It is in my fambly, despite all of our issues. I'm presently working on getting two of my first cousins (who are brothers) to be able to be in the same room with each other after a squabble over some property they were both bequeathed.

Antonia is a classic beauty.

She is ! I think all the kids on both sides are pretty / and the two boys are handsome . Bless them !

Antonia is a real beauty, and has never had to resort to plastic surgery as Gia did when still a young teenager. Antonia has always shown herself to be a class act, and respectful of others. The Giudice girls never respected ANYONE.

I think Gia's response to that question was diplomatic and accurate. Good for her. I hope she and Antonia can be friends again one day and leave the adult BS behind.

I'm guessing Milania and Antonia remain tight cousins.

I can hear Melissa and Joe from here, forcing her to make that kind of choice “for the family.” Can’t wait to see Melissa’s daughter’s life, probably just as riveting as Melissa’s.

You know the saying - hope the kids do better than the parents ; I think Antonia has hope for herself . I’m sure she would never manufacture such crazy ideas for herself such as singing , lost sister search etc

I honestly think Antonia will do well in life and I also think the same of Teresa's daughters. I hope so, anyway.

So far all the kids on both sides are seemingly good , and God bless them all with all that family discord

I agree, they are all extremely well-adjusted given the circumstances.

Apparently, we're going to have to endure manufactured stories about every HW's offspring potentially joining the insipid Next Gen, as if any parent would want to send sentence their kid to a life in the NYC cesspool (an interesting place to visit, but a not-so-great place to live).
