The explosive new season of RHONJ Season 12

Melissa Gorga revealed that Bravo fans should expect “big explosions” from The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12. Some of the drama from the previous season will trickle into this new season. Melissa also noted that Teresa Giudice’s relationship with her new fiance, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, will also cause some drama. While Teresa may be happy and in love, she still has her fiery spirit.

“It’s definitely crazy. There’s moments in there [where] I was like, ‘Wow, I thought we were way past that’ — especially when you think everyone’s happy and in love bubbles,” Melissa Gorga told Page Six. “Then you see things explode and you’re like, ‘Where did that come from?!'”

She revealed that this season is reminiscent of the “beginning seasons.” At one point, things got so bad that Luis had to step in. He had to hold back his passionate fiance. Teresa loves to scream and flip tables.

Melissa feels that Luis is good for Teresa. She thinks he helps bring her down to earth, which is what she needs. Luis “tries to talk more sense” into Teresa. He even reassures her that her co-stars are right.

Melissa Gorga admitted that she and Luis “get along really, really well.” She’s often wondered, “Where you have you been all our lives?” However, that isn’t the case with the rest of the Housewives. Melissa admits that he has been “put through the wringer” with the Gorga-Giudice bunch.

“You’ll see: He has to go through [it],” Melissa Gorga teased. “And you’ll see, I’m like, ‘There’s no passes.’ Welcome to the family.”

Luis was previously married to Marissa DiMartino, with whom he shares two sons. Last month, he proposed to Teresa during their Greek vacation. The RHONJ star shares four daughters — Gia, 20, Gabrielle, 17, Milana, 15, and Audriana, 12 with her ex-husband Joe Giudice.

Also, Melissa and Joe’s marital issues will continue to play out in Season 12. She got backlash for putting her career ahead of her family life. During the interview, she said “it’s not easy” to maintain a happy marriage on reality TV. Regardless, the couple knows that family matters most to them at the end of the day.

Bravo has not announced the premiere date for The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 12. In the meantime, fans can watch Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip on Peacock.
