Teresa Giudice is happy with her new boyfriend, Luis Ruelas, and has no problem showing her affection for him in public.

The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star, 48, stepped out for a dinner date with Ruelas over the weekend in New York, Page Six reported. The couple dined at the 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar.

For their date night, Giudice went for a black coat and dark pants, which she paired with dark pink boots. Meanwhile, her businessman boyfriend, 46, opted for a purple jacket, a black shirt and black pants.

Photos published by Page Six showed Giudice and Ruelas holding hands while walking. At one point, the couple hugged and removed their face masks for a kiss.

In November, Giudice's new romance made headlines after an insider confirmed that the reality star had returned to the dating scene. Her new relationship came two months after her divorce from ex-husband Joe Giudice, with whom she shares four daughters, was finalized.

Ruelas is a single father of two. Their relationship was still "very new" at the time, but they were "very happy together," the source told Page Six.

Prior to the report, Giudice and Ruelas were spotted watching a football game together. A fan captured a photo of Ruelas with his hand on her waist and shared it online.

Ruelas is a businessman and the co-founder of Digital Media Solutions. He has made a name for himself in the digital marketing world since he launched his first business in New York when he was just 19.

Meanwhile, Teresa's ex-husband Joe is still single as he is still testing the waters when it comes to dating. He confirmed in October that he was seeing someone, but they were not officially dating.

"We're not really dating," he said, adding, "but we're, like, seeing each other or whatever.”

When Joe was asked about his ex-wife dating again, he was supportive of it. He said he wants Teresa to be happy and he doesn't want her to be alone forever after their divorce.

"What's she going to do, stay alone forever? That's not fair, as well," he said.

"Look, if I would have got out and I would have been able to go home, who knows what would happen?" he explained. "Maybe we'd still be in the same situation, maybe not. I don't know. Things change after so many years."
