Melissa Gorga, 45, shares eye-popping bikini photos to celebrate 20th wedding anniversary with Joe Gorga, 49

   

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga took to Instagram on Tuesday to celebrate her 20 year wedding anniversary to Joe Gorga.

The 45-year-old reality TV beauty posted a collection of images of the two together.

Several of the photos saw the sister-in-law of Teresa Giudice in skimpy bikinis that highlighted her toned frame.

In one she held melons in front of her chest in a cheeky pose on the beach as Joe snapped away. In another, the two were getting their feet wet on the shores of Capri in Italy. 

'20 years❤️ TWENTY. Happy Anniversary @joeygorga feel like I was just a girl when I married you at 25 but boy, I was a pretty smart one,' wrote the brunette in her caption.

'The good and the bad, the ups and the downs, having people watch our every move like we're in a fishbowl,' she added.

'We've made it! All While inspiring others and showing them what marriage truly is and what it could really be. 

'My dream is that our kids have watched us through the years and are as happy in their marriages❤️ thank you for always loving me. #marriage #couples #rhonj'

Joe is set to turn 50-years-old on Wednesday. 

This comes after she posed in a two piece on the Amalfi coast of Italy earlier this month.

She had on the flashy royal blue swimsuit on with cuts with gold star buttons up the front that exposed her tummy. She added sunglasses as her hair was down.

'We've made it! All While inspiring others and showing them what marriage truly is and what it could really be,' the star also noted

Teresa and Melissa have not been close for many years and there have been rumors they may not return for the next season of RHONJ, or at least one of them may drop out

There has been plenty of tension on the Bravo show. 

In July, Teresa delivered a cryptic message condemning those who spread hate towards her and her costars amid calls for a cast-shakeup

The star took to her Instagram to share the fiery post, slamming the 'toxic behavior' that is impacting her castmates and their families.

'What is happening off camera on social media, is absolutely disgusting and is fueled by toxic people who are not affiliated with the show or the cast and are only interested in promoting themselves by spreading their hate through false narratives and lies,' the former bodybuilder began. 

'It has affected all of us on the cast and our families,' she continued. 'They are attacking our children, going after our businesses and they are turning something that is supposed to be entertainment into something very dark and toxic.'

'This hate and toxicity has to stop. I am asking everyone to stop engaging in any negativity towards my cast mates and all of our families. Enough is enough. Love love love, Teresa.'

While she didn't provide examples as reference and comments on her post were disabled, Teresa's message emerges against the backdrop of what is arguably the most chaotic season in the show's history. 

Teresa not only refused to film scenes with her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, but the reunion was also canceled due to the intense animosity between the cast members.

He message comes on the heels of Gorga admitting she's onboard for a 'change' in the show amid calls for a shakeup

The star, who joined RHONJ in its third season back in 2011, opened up about the future of the franchise a month after the reunion was scrapped due to the animosity between her costars. 

Teresa delivered a cryptic message condemning those who spread hate towards her and her costars amid calls for a cast-shakeup . The star took to her Instagram to share the fiery post, slamming the 'toxic behavior' that is impacting her castmates and their families 

'Listen, I’m excited for what’s to come,' she told Page Six on Monday. 'I think we are due for some type of change. I don’t know what kind of change, but I am excited to see what happens.' 

She concluded, 'I am excited to see what’s next and where this show goes from here.'

The brunette beauty remains in the dark about Bravo's plans for the show, however. 'Your guess is as good as mine,' she remarked. 

Last week Teresa was told she was so heavily airbrushed while in a colorful bikini that she looked like her teen daughter Milania.

Then the next day the trolls were at it again as the TV star was seen in a bikini from Luxsea Swimwear with a scarf on her head and big sunglasses on.

Follower Shonta Haayes asked in the comments section, 'Why is the railing bent?' Indeed the railing did look bent but it was hard to tell if that is the way it was built or if that was the way the wood had aged, or if Teresa had used editing tools that caused that bend.

A follower named MostlyBravo added a crazy face emoji as she wrote, 'The bend in the railing.'

Another pulled up her sister in law Melissa Gorga's name saying she resembled her costar: 'Trying to look like Melissa.'

Most of the comments, however, raved about how great the reality TV siren looked in her little beige and ivory swimsuit

Giudice has been accused of Photoshopping her bikini images while in Mykonos, Greece. Trolls commented on the TV star as she wore a bikini. Follower Shonta Haayes asked in the comments section, 'Why is the railing bent?'

The cookbook author - who has four children with ex-husband Joe Giudice - certainly looked sensational in her colorful bikini the day before. 

But the 52-year-old reality star must have used a strong filter as at first glance it did not look like her.

There was not one wrinkle, stretch mark or pimple in sight as the Bravo star was flawless from head to toe. One follower made a one word statement: 'Photoshop.'

Some Instagram followers did not believe it was her. 

'Wow I thought it was Milania at first! Can I have your body, dammit?!' said one follower. Milania is Teresa's 18-year-old daughter. She also is mom to Gia, 23, Gabriella, 19, and Audriana, 14.

Another follower compared her to a Real Housewives Of Atlanta veteran: 'She’s turning into Kim Zolciak.'

She has been with her 49-year-old husband Ruelas in Mykonos for several days. 

The lovebirds were celebrating their second wedding anniversary which falls next week. 

This comes after she said she thinks 'respect' is the key to a successful marriage.

The TV star split from her first husband Joe Giudice in 2020 after more than two decades together.

She tied the knot with Luis Ruelas in 2022 and upon their anniversary admitted that it has all been 'very easy' for them.'

She told E! News: 'He's amazing. He's great. I guess when you're in love it's very easy. And you just got to respect each other and always stay in your love bubble.'

The sister of Joe Gorga also noted that there have been a slew of false rumors put about about her husband - who had been previously married to Marisa Dimartino Ruelas - since they got together but is using her airtime on the upcoming season of the reality show to prove conclusively that they were all wrong.

She added: 'Since I've met Louie, there have been people that have been putting out false narratives out there and I prove it in black and white and you'll see that. We see who's been putting out lies out there.'

The loved-up pair started dating in July 2020 and bought their first house together just over a year later before getting engaged in October 2022 during a trip to Hydra Island in Greece.

Teresa and Joe who have daughters Gia, 23, Gabriella, 19, Milania, 17, and 14-year-old Audriana - had separated long before then after they pleaded guilty to financial fraud in 2014.

In December 2015, Teresa was released from federal prison after serving 11 months of a 15-month sentence for wire, mail and bankruptcy fraud.

Her then-spouse was sentenced to a
