Teresa Giudice’s Daughter Shares Surprising Update on Dina Manzo Relationship

Audriana Giudice says her relationship with godmother Dina Manzo has changed over time.

“We don’t really have a relationship anymore,” Audriana, 15, shared on the Monday, July 14, episode of iHeartRadio and Gia Giudice’s “Casual Chaos” podcast. “We’ll text each other on holidays. I never talk to her, like, consistently. It’s kind of sad because we used to have such a good relationship when I was younger, and she would always take me out.”

Audriana added, “We would have so much fun together, but we don’t have those anymore.”

Before fans speculate that the pair had a dramatic falling out, Gia, 24, shared her viewpoint that nothing “necessarily happened.”

“I think it’s just hard,” she added, “because she’s in California and the distance.”

Dina, 53, and Audriana’s mom, Teresa Giduce, appeared on the first two seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Dina later quit the show and said her “peace was more important.”

During a candid chat with her older sister, Audriana revealed that she is closest to Jennifer Aydin out of all the current RHONJ cast members. It also helps that she’s friends with Jennifer’s 16-year-old son, Jacob.

While Audriana primarily stays out of the drama on Bravo, she was asked about the toughest scenes to film for RHONJ.

Without hesitation, the high school student reflected on the time her mom returned home to New Jersey after a 11-month prison sentence. (She previously pleaded guilty to multiple federal fraud charges.)

“Seeing all the people outside our house, like, all the paparazzi, and then it was really sad to watch it again,” she said. “But then I would remember, ‘Oh, I probably wouldn’t remember exactly how that happened if I didn’t have these videos.’ It’s kind of like a hate-love type of thing because I do like how we are able to see it again, but I don’t like how they’re filmed. I don’t like how people can see what we went through.”

Audriana also remembered when dad Joe Giudice began his prison sentence.

Because she was “really young” at the time, she couldn’t recall too many details about that part of her childhood.

“I don’t remember the day he left, but I remember how it was when he was away,

but he was gone for so long,” she said. “Mom I remember more clearly since it was such a short amount of time.”

While Teresa, 53, served 11 months, Joe, 53, faced a 41-month sentence before being transferred directly to an immigration detention center. He was later deported and now calls the Bahamas home.
