While the brunette beauty rocked everything from navy blue trousers to a hot pink slip dress, we got a view of more of the room's sandy wood floors along with a large white area rug that seemed to be peeking out from the room's bed. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 50, revealed her plan to move to California with her new husband, Luis Ruelas, on the latest episode of her podcast Namaste B$tches, released on Wednesday, Jan. 18. “I've always been a very hands-on mom and I always will be, but you have to kinda pass the workload on to other people a little bit if you wanna go and do what you're doing in life and that's been very hard for us, very hard,” Melissa shares. The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple’s white and neutral “kitchen space takes priority” in their new home. “Joe has a big impact on the show as far as the men go, that men love to watch it, too,” says Gorga.

Just behind the home is an in-ground swimming pool, which Melissa was seen standing beside as one of her sons was nearby. And while the majority of the clip showcased the family’s new backyard, Antonia also showed off the front of their home, which is absolutely massive. She added that the size and the style of the home inspired her to officially part ways with her family's Montville, New Jersey, mansion in Dec. 2020. Press play on the video above to see Melissa and Joe talk about their goals for their new home during the early stages of the construction process. In before and after photos shared by All About the Real Housewives on Instagram, the updates were seen clearly. Melissa Gorga‘s 5,000-square-foot Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, mansion is “finally” complete.

Melissa and Joe have uprooted their family a few times in the last 12 years, and they even moved back into a former house. They tried many times over five years to sell their Montville, New Jersey mansion, which proved to be a difficult undertaking. Ultimately, extensive renovations helped them unload the property. The New York Post reported that the couple took out a $500,000 loan to finance the build-out of their new abode, which was designed and reconstructed by Joe Gorga through his home-building company. Melissa Gorga shared a sneak peek at the house with her 2.7 million Instagram followers late last year when the family officially moved into the residence. When the Gorgas originally moved into their home, some critics took issue with the multiple peaked rooftops, off-center door placement, and two dozen ”tiny” black-rimmed windows on the front.

"She puts the time in," Joe said adoringly of his wife's business savvy. Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, exclusively chatted with OK! Press play on the video above to see what Melissa and Joe’s house looked like before they transformed it. She’s also an inspiration for women, he says, especially moms in business. Gorga herself believes the family aspect separates "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" from the other franchise installments.

There are also rumors that Joe Gorga has allegedly been caught shoplifting from Home Depot and banned from certain New Jersey locations. “You took a bad design and transformed it into something better 👏,” one commenter wrote. According to the New York Post, in 2021 the Gorgas paid just under $1 million for the property with plans to deconstruct the existing home on it and rebuild. Construction of the dream home was helmed by Joe Gorga himself. Gorga’s new photo featured a look at the front of her house, complete with a renovated roofline, an expanded front porch, and the addition of black-trimmed atrium-style windows. “Finally finished 🖤,” Gorga captioned the photo, before thanking Plan Architecture of Bergen County, New Jersey.

It's always funny because (people she meets) ask, ‘How’s Antonia? I feel like they truly know us because they've watched us grow for the last 14 years on TV." The wildly popular "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" will start its 14th season sometime this year on Bravo. In January the Gorga's began construction on their new mansion that they designed with an architect. The Gorga's moved into their new mansion on the same day that their Christmas lights were being put up around their spacious home. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 43, got started early on the Christmas decorations and covered their home in holiday lights before they fully moved in.

“I love me a hot construction worker, especially when it’s Joe Gorga,” she quipped in an interview. In Season 6, Melissa was over the moon while watching Joe break ground on the property they had purchased in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, which is approximately 16 miles from Montville. Another image gave fans a closer look at the light fixtures, which feature rings of rhinestones. Days later, Melissa took her online audience inside her and Joe’s new home, sharing yet another video slideshow that featured their two-story foyer. About halfway through the March 21 sitdown, Luann was asked to review a handful of songs by reality TV figures, including Vanderpump Rules’s Scheana Shay and The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Melissa Gorga.

After a realtor gave the feedback that they'd never sell the house at such a high price point without a pool, they decided to revamp the backyard. "We finished putting the pool in," Melissa explained, noting that the project took 10 months to complete. In one image, three elaborate black light fixtures were seen hanging from a tray ceiling. Melissa and Joe’s home features two large black doors at the front of the property. Luckily, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom, who moved into the gorgeous abode in November 2022, got what she wished for (and then some), with a sprawling kitchen we can't get enough of.

Holiday decorating definitely seems to be a top priority in the Gorga household since Melissa made sure to get her Christmas lights up before unpacking. A photo of the outside of the Gorga mansion lit-up was posted to the company's Instagram page with an appreciative caption for the "Queen of Reality TV's" business. The beautiful lights were installed by the New Jersey-based holiday lighting company K.E.D Lighting.

Melissa Gorga is opening the doors of her new mansion to ET's cameras, and giving an exclusive tour of her sprawling and lavish residence. She’ll never have to worry about having enough counter space with this ginormous island. The spacious wall is filled with designer heels that pile up from the floor to the ceiling.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple is ready for summer with a stunning new pool and backyard. It also included a set of black-fabric chandeliers in the foyer that fans said resembled jellyfish, according to the New York Post. In February 2022, Melissa gave BravoTV.com an update on the status of their new home build — and it wasn't all going to plan. Despite their love for the Toms River getaway, Melissa and Joe got an itch to find a new location for a vacation property. "They are looking to buy in the Hamptons," a rep for Melissa told BravoTV.com in September 2021. "They have spent summers down the shore since they were married and are looking to change it up."

Others compared the design to a SIMs house from the longtime video game series. She did not mention that she was unhappy with the exterior of the home at that time. Since moving into a new house with her family at the end of 2022, Melissa Gorga has shown off the stunning kitchen, glam office, chic exterior, and spacious closets. In her most recent Instagram share, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member gave details on her incredibly gorgeous new bedroom, and we’re obsessed.
