Melissa Gorga is officially back in reunion mode — and not just with Teresa Giudice.
While filming for the massive Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip celebrating 20 years of the franchise, Melissa found herself face-to-face with another familiar figure from her RHONJ past: former bestie turned estranged castmate Jacqueline Laurita.
According to Radar Online, the long-awaited reunion wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy at first.
Sources say the two had what was described as a “snarky” exchange when they first crossed paths. Melissa reportedly confronted Jacqueline directly, wanting answers about what really went wrong between them all those years ago.
“Melissa confronted her and wanted to know what she had done to her,” an insider revealed. Jacqueline reportedly brought up parts of their past drama, but the source says it’s been so long that rehashing every detail felt pointless.
Interestingly, the insider added that Melissa genuinely seemed confused about why Jacqueline had been so upset with her in the first place — a sign that the two clearly walked away from their friendship with very different interpretations of what went down.
Despite the awkward start, things didn’t stay icy for long.
Sources say the two eventually cleared the air and even appeared to be enjoying each other’s company after years apart. While no one is expecting them to suddenly become inseparable again, the vibe reportedly shifted from tense to cordial.
“They made up,” the insider said, though they added that Melissa and Jacqueline will likely never be as close as they once were. Still, seeing each other seemed to bring back some genuine nostalgia.
The timing of this reunion is especially interesting, considering Melissa has also been reconnecting with Teresa Giudice — her longtime sister-in-law and former on-show nemesis — amid ongoing uncertainty about the future of Real Housewives of New Jersey.
However, sources are quick to note that while Melissa was seen filming with Teresa, Teresa did not film any scenes with both Melissa and Jacqueline together, keeping those worlds separate for now.
With RHONJ’s future still unclear and Bravo clearly leaning into legacy moments for its 20th anniversary, it looks like old wounds, unfinished business, and surprise reunions are very much back on the menu.
