Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita seemed to deceive fans’ eyes when the former posted an Instagram shot of the two reunited in Las Vegas on February 11. With the Internet rumbling with speculation of how and why this came to be, Giudice revealed it was for the sweetest reason of all. On February 14’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Giudice shared that Laurita has “been on [her] mind a lot” because her stepson with husband Luis Ruelas, Nicholas, has autism — much like Laurita’s own son, also named Nicholas. “I was going to Vegas to see Bruno Mars, so I reached out to her,” Giudice told Cohen.
A day later, on her “Namaste B$tches” podcast, Giudice went into further detail about the emotional reunion. “It’s kind of like we didn’t miss a beat,” Giudice described. “We hugged each other so hard. It was like love at first sight again. We had a five-hour lunch.” Although the “Dancing with the Stars” alum shared that Laurita had no intention of returning to “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” she was just “happy she’s doing well.”

As for the stick of dynamite in the room named Melissa Gorga, Giudice insisted to Cohen their reunion wasn’t based around their mutual feud with her sis-in-law. “That didn’t have to do with it… but also that,” Giudice said, laughing. Hey, as Giudice said on Cohen’s show – “time heals all wounds.”
