Gia Giudice is breaking her silence on one of Bravo’s most emotional and long-running family rifts: the fractured relationship between her mother, Real Housewives of New Jersey OG Teresa Giudice, and her uncle Joe Gorga.

Speaking on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, Gia got candid about how the feud has affected her personally, where things stand now, and whether there’s any hope for reconciliation.

“I don’t know,” Gia said when asked if Teresa and Joe were planning to move forward. “But you know, I really do hope, yeah, they come to just a happy medium and I really just hope there is peace for everyone.”

The Giudice-Gorga fallout has been playing out in public for years, with both sides airing grievances on and off screen. But for Gia, the conflict hits close to home — especially when it comes to the cousins who’ve also been caught in the middle.

“Not really,” she admitted when asked if she still speaks with Joe’s children. “And that’s definitely unfortunate. Because obviously my mother and father are divorced. And I am extremely close with my dad’s side, so I think that’s where my sisters and I, we know that it’s possible to, even though your parents aren’t best friends or stuff didn’t work out, there’s still a way and room to have a relationship.”

Still, she said she doesn’t blame anyone for the distance.

“Unfortunately, I think the circumstances were a little different just because it got so crazy on Housewives and it was just a lot,” she explained. “So I don’t blame it on either one of us for, you know, not maintaining a relationship. I think it was difficult.”

“It was just a lot,” she added. “Yeah. So I’m just hoping for peace and just some clarity between both of them. And I just think, I hope we can come back to at least just, you know, peace. Peace and respect.”

While the family tension remains unresolved, Gia is clearly ready to move forward — and she’s also weighing in on what the future of RHONJ should look like.

When asked about the possibility of new Housewives joining the cast, Gia offered a thoughtful take on why a full reboot might not work.

“I think it’ll be good. I think it’s fun to get new energy,” she said. “Because sometimes you can’t always have, I think it’s not smart to fully X out the cast completely.”

Referencing Real Housewives of New York City, Gia said, “I think they kind of learned that with New York, and even though they were all stunning… when you have such a legendary New York cast with like Luann and Sonja and Ramona… it’s hard to bring a whole new start in.”

She continued, “You need some old ones that like keep the roots. And then you need some new faces to kind of just like mix up the energy.”

Gia also reminisced about the Housewives she connected with growing up, including the twins, Dina, and Jacqueline.

“Honestly, the twins were great. I wish like Dina stayed on, like she was awesome,” she said. “I mean, even Jacqueline was always so fun, you know? She was really, she was fun.”

Though Jacqueline has since moved to Las Vegas, Gia didn’t rule out the possibility of a BravoCon cameo: “She’s gonna have to make some cameos at BravoCon.”

And Gia herself will be more than busy at this year’s BravoCon.

“It’s gonna be a busy BravoCon,” she revealed. “Yeah, I’m on four panels.”

As Bravo fans continue to debate the future of RHONJ, it’s clear that Gia Giudice is emerging as a voice of reason — and possibly, the next generation of drama diplomacy.
