Gia Giudice Explains Why She's Planning to Move Out of Her Family's New Jersey Home: "It's a Lot"
Although she will always be a Jersey girl at heart, the Next Gen NYC cast member said she plans to leave her family's Montville home in the next several months. Why? Well, Gia explained that her increasingly busy work schedule has required frequent commutes from New Jersey to Manhattan, which she found to be 'super exhausting.'
'It's a lot. My schedule has only picked up since Next Gen NYC, which is funny, because it picked up the summer we were filming Next Gen, and no one knew that we were filming it,' she recently told Today. 'It's just my career kind of started picking up, and my brand started growing, and I am in the city at least four times a week, so it's a lot of back and forth from Jersey.'
After graduating from Rutgers University in 2023, The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter moved back in with her mom, Teresa Giudice, and stepdad, Luis 'Louie' Ruelas. Gia spoke about her living situation in the March 23 episode of her Casual Chaos podcast, saying she didn't 'have an urgency to move out' of her family's $3.3 million mansion.
'I mean, I have everything I need at home,' she said. 'I know people that stay home until they get married. I make my own money, I do my own thing, but I just don't see the urgency to move out.'
Gia told Today she wanted to start apartment hunting sometime in August and begin the moving process in September. However, the 24-year-old said she has yet to decide where she will live.

'I'm either going to do Manhattan or Jersey City. I'm gonna figure it out,' she said, before revealing her plans to visit her family's abode regularly.
'I'll still spend my weekend at home, maybe every other weekend at home,' she continued. 'I have to see my Bella (her family's dog).'Related: Gia Giudice Reveals Her New Big Career Goal: "Put a Lot of Effort Into This..."
Gia touched on a potential home move in a 2024 episode of her mom's podcast series, Turning the Tables. The Jersey native said she wanted to move in with her longtime boyfriend, Christian Carmichael, rather than live by herself.
'I think you should live on your own first,' Teresa told Gia.
'I do really want to move in with him, eventually,' Gia said. 'What am I going to do, mom? Live on my own? That's going to be so boring. He's literally going to be over every night anyway if I lived on my own."
'I give you my blessing if you want to move in with Christian,' Teresa responded.
Gia reassured her mom she wasn't in any rush to shack up with her beau, saying, "When it happens, it happens."

'Today' star Dylan Dreyer posts sweet family photo with husband after split
"Today" meteorologist Dylan Dreyer posted a photo with husband Brian Fichera and their three sons after announcing the couple's split this month. There might be clear skies ahead for "Today" meteorologist Dylan Dreyer and her husband Brian Fichera after announcing their breakup. The third hour cohost took to Instagram on July 29 to share photos of the pair on a family vacation with their three sons – Calvin, Oliver and Rusty – after announcing the couple's separation earlier this month. "Find joy in things around you, take a deep breath, count to 10. You'll soon find you're living under sunny skies again," Dreyer captioned the post, using a quote from her 2021 children's book "Misty the Cloud: A Very Stormy Day." Dreyer's friend and third hour cohost Al Roker commented from his neck of the woods, writing "Wow!!!" on the photo. Dreyer, who is not on "Today" this week seemingly due to her Turks and Caicos vacation, has not publicly addressed the couple's split on the NBC morning franchise. 'Today' meteorologist Dylan Dreyer announces split from husband Brian Fichera Dreyer, 43, and Fichera, 38, tied the knot in 2012. Dreyer joined NBC News in September that year. The NBC meteorologist announced the couple's separation in a July 18 post on Instagram hours after the show ended, writing over a sunset photograph that "for many years, I have shared my family with you -- the highs and lows, the ups and downs, and all of the blessings and beautiful memories in between." "For that reason, I want to share with you that a few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to separate," Dreyer wrote. "We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends. Most importantly, we will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect." While Fichera is mostly missing from her Instagram posts this year, Dreyer previously wrote "Happy Father's Day Bri!!" in a June 15 caption featuring a family selfie. It's been a cloudy year so far for NBC's third hour "Today" family. Dreyer's third hour cohost Sheinelle Jones' 45-year-old husband Uche Ojeh died from an aggressive form of brain cancer in May, and she has been off air the entire year. "With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our friend and 'Today' co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma," show anchor Savannah Guthrie shared on May 23.

Tears at What Golden Retriever Does Every Night for 'Long Lost Best Friend'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As dusk settled over a quiet field, Cooper the golden retriever broke into a full sprint, rushing toward a wooden cross planted in the soil. It marks the resting place of Bear, a German shepherd who was Cooper's best friend before his death. "He was the leader, the protector of the pack and watched over my little boy," said owner and TikToker @ashleystacy82. "He was the best." The video of the moment was shared on TikTok where it has been viewed 2.3 million times. His ritual, loyally heading to visit his friend, has melted hearts online, and the text overlay read: "Cooper making his nightly visit to his long lost best friend. RIP Bear." Clear that he is "missing his best friend," emotional viewers headed to the comments to share their reactions. "Now I have to explain to my husband that the app is the reason I'm crying... again," one user wrote. Another added, "You're supposed to hold my hand before you throw me into a brick wall of emotions." While one simply declared, "Hey so this crushed my soul." Another wrote: "'ll be sending you my hospital bill since you just broke my heart." Do dogs feel grief? Cooper's behavior is unlikely to just be a habit. A 2022 study from the University of Milan offers insight. Researchers surveyed 426 Italian dog owners who had experienced the death of one of their two dogs. An overwhelming 86 percent of owners observed negative behavioral changes in the surviving dog. Of the grieving pets, 67 percent became less attention seeking, 57 percent played less and 46 percent became less active. While 43 percent became less active, 35 percent slept more and displayed unexpected fearfulness. A screenshot from the video that has broken hearts on TikTok. A screenshot from the video that has broken hearts on TikTok. @ashleystacy82/TikTok This isn't the first time hearts have broken over a grieving pet online. One dog was captured reacting to smelling his canine sibling's fur months after his death, leaving viewers sobbing. While another dog heartbreakingly looked at his lost best friend's "shrine" after his death, longingly starting at the photos of his lost companion. Another heartbreaking video shared how a cat, named Carlo, mourned the loss of the family dog who had passed away. But just days later, Carlo was gone too.
