Teresa spent the holidays with her brother Joe Gorga and his wife Melissa Gorga as well as old friend Anthony Delorenzo.
It comes after the reality star was pictured cuddling up to Delorenzo, aka Tony the contractor, last weekend – days after her split with Joe Giudice was announced.
Teresa’s brother shared a number of clips from their Christmas celebrations on his Instagram story.
In one vid, Joe Gorga jokingly referred to Delorenzo as his “brother-in-law”.
Delorenzo was also filmed holding up a glass of wine as Joe declared: “We only hang with family here.”
“The pool boy, here we come,” Joe, 40, jokes as Delorenzo says: “What I tell you about that pool boy sh.”
Teresa stunned in a festive red peplum-style top with matching scarlet heels.
The 47-year-old reality star recently sparked speculation she is ready to move on after being spotted looking cosy with Delorenzo.
The pair stepped out for a stroll before grabbing breakfast together at a New Jersey eaterie on Saturday.
Clearly concerned about the cold weather, Delorenzo, aka Tony the contractor, who’s made a few appearances on RHONJ, thoughtfully put his arm around the newly-single star.
Meanwhile, Joe Giudice welcomed his daughters for Christmas in Italy – leaving mom Teresa behind.
Footage posted on Joe’s Instagram on Tuesday showed the four girls walking through arrivals to greet their gleeful father.
Joe, 47, looked nervous as he waited for Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 14, and 10-year-old Audriana to get through customs.
But he then marches over to the grinning girls as they wheel their bags through the airport.
Joe greets his smiling daughters in classic Italian style – with big hugs and kisses on their cheeks.
The adorable video was posted online on Christmas Eve with the adorable caption: “They are so cute and happy”.
It was previously reported how Teresa, 47, was hesitant about making the trip after her previous visit to see deported Joe in November.
Joe and Teresa’s relationship came to an end this month after 23 years of marriage – following allegations of cheating that plagued both of them.
They have spent more than four years apart following their respective prison sentences and Joe’s immigration battle.
The couple pleaded guilty to a combined 41 counts of fraud, including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and three types of bankruptcy fraud.
Teresa served 11 months in prison in 2015 – while Joe served 41 months until his release in March 2019.
But he was then taken into custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement before getting deported to his native Italy in October.
Joe is appealing his deportation status and is awaiting a final decision.
