Reality TV favorite Teresa Giudice is engaged to her boyfriend of one year, Louie Ruelas.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey and her businessman beau took the next step in their relationship on Tuesday, according to People magazine.
The publication reports that the former jailbird, 49, said yes after he proposed on a sandy beach during their vacation on Hydra Island in Greece.
The duo had been enjoying a getaway with Guidice’s former RHONJ co-star Dina Manzo and her husband, Dave Cantin, when 46-year-old Ruelas made his romantic proposal.
In photos obtained by People, the pair were surrounded by rose petals and candles as the businessman got on one knee in front of a ‘Marry Me’ sign.
The group then celebrated until 5am with champagne and a surf-and-turf dinner at the Amanzoe Resort’s restaurant, according to the magazine.
Guidice and Ruelas started dating in July 2020 and recently purchased a home together.
The relationship began amid the reality star’s divorce from husband of 20 years Joe Giudice.
Following their split in 2019, the former couple finalized their divorce in September, eight months after announcing they would be ending their marriage.

They continue to co-parent their four daughters – Gia, 20, Gabriella, 17, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 12.
The duo hadn’t been together in more than four years after they pleaded guilty in 2014 to financial fraud.
The bestselling author served her sentence for wire, mail and bankruptcy fraud and was released in 2015, and Joe began a 41-month prison term in March 2016 for the same crimes.
