"I absolutely did not expect to meet you, and I really thought I'd probably be alone for like, the next 10 years," Ruelas said while enjoying a dinner date with Giudice, later adding, "You're literally like, a dream come true." "I love that Louie gets me and I have always wanted that. And it's so crazy because I don't know what the future holds, but this is the best I've felt in a really long time," Giudice told the cameras. The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary in July. "A year, wow I would have never imagined how in one year I would feel so loved. You are so kind, supportive & loving," Giudice captioned an Instagram post. "You take great care and consideration in everything you do," she continued. "You have shown my girls so much love, I adore you. I admire your incredible parenting & your work ethic, and the passion you put into everything you do. You have made me smile every single day for the last year and I love you today and all of my tomorrows."
