What We Know About Teresa Giudice's Stepsons Nicholas And Louie Jr.

In June 2001, Luis Ruelas and Marisa Dimartino Ruelas welcomed their first child, Nicholas Ruelas, who was diagnosed with autism. Today, Luis couldn't be more proud of his son's milestones. Taking to Instagram in February 2022, the proud dad shared a carousel of photos and videos of Nicholas getting a haircut. "I am so proud of Nicholas. He just finished his haircut and for some of us, it's nothing. It's easy and simple, we walk in sit down and let the barber do his work. For my son, it's stressful, it's loud, and at times could be a bit scary for him," the marketing executive gushed.

Though he lives full-time with his mother, Nicholas spends a lot of time visiting his father. Despite his special needs, the 22-year-old has developed a strong bond with his stepsisters: Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana. "Every time Nicholas leaves, he always says, 'When am I coming back?' He always wants to know ... The girls have embraced Nicholas," Teresa Giudice explained in a December 2022 interview with People. They let Nicholas hang out with them, with their friends when they're all hanging out at the house."

The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star has also bonded well with Nicholas since she started dating his dad in 2020. In a birthday tribute to the 22-year-old in June 2023, Teresa described him as "a breath of fresh air," adding that she is lucky to have him in her life.
