KEY POINTS

  • Teresa Giudice shared a new family photo featuring Luis Ruelas’ second son, Nicholas
  • Fans were delighted to see the photo with all of the couple’s kids
  • Ruelas uploaded new photos with Giudice and their friends after the backlash

Teresa Giudice has seemingly responded to the criticisms over her previous post featuring her and fiancé Luis “Louie” Ruelas’ blended family.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 49, took to Instagram Saturday to share a snap showing her and Ruelas as well as all of their children from their previous relationships.

In the snap, Giudice and Ruelas could be seen standing proudly with the former’s daughters — Gia, 20, Gabriella, 17, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 12 — and the latter’s sons, Louie Jr., 18, and Nicholas, whose age has not been disclosed.

“Our beautiful family — woven together by choice, strengthened together by love,” the reality star captioned the photo.

Fans were instantly delighted to see Giudice’s updated post as it included the businessman’s second son, Nicholas.

“There is our guy Nick [heart-eyes emoji],” one wrote.

“Beautiful caption! I love to see both of his sons with you all,” another commented.

“Yesssssssss everyone together [red heart emojis]. Many blessings, Teresa and Louie. All kids together,” a third user added.

Joe Giudice’s ex-wife previously got flak for posting a family photo without Nicholas in it. Some netizens were not pleased when she captioned the snap, “my beautiful family,” even though it did not feature her partner’s other son.

A number speculated that Nicholas’ absence from the photo had something to do with his autism, and this caused a debate among fans.

“I hope they are not excluding him due to autism. I know one son is autistic. I never see him in pictures,” one netizen wrote.

“That’s an absurd thing to say. His other son might feel uncomfortable with cameras,” another responded.

Meanwhile, Ruelas appeared to be unbothered by the criticisms over his wife-to-be’s previous post. On Saturday, he decided to share a series of photos of him and Teresa with their friends Dina Manzo and husband Dave Cantin at Montage Laguna Beach.

“Living our best life [red heart emojis] @dina @davecantiine. Love you guys [red heart emoji],” he wrote in the caption.

Teresa and Ruelas got engaged on Oct. 21. The couple then made the relationship milestone official by throwing an engagement party in New York City Monday.
