Giudice went public with Ruelas shortly after shefinalized her divorcewith ex-husbandJoe Giudicein September. The two were married for 20 years and share daughtersGia, 20,Gabriella, 16,Milania, 15, andAudriana, 11.
Reflecting on her past relationship with Joe, Giudice says she’s now learned the importance of liking “the same things” as one’s significant other.
“Me and my ex, we didn’t like the same things. We were two opposites,” Giudice explains. “You know when they say opposites attract? It did for a little while, for like 15 years. But now I’ve found my true match — my soulmate. He’s really amazing.”
However, that doesn’t mean there’s bad blood between Giudice and her ex-husband. According to the mom of four, she and Joe “have an amazing relationship” as co-parents these days.
“He’s happy for me and I’m happy for him,” Giudice says. “We co-parent amazingly. He’s a great father. We get along great.”

Continuing her conversation withExtra, Giudice also noted that she was with her girlfriends when she first met Ruelas. “We started talking, he told us about himself,” she shared. “He had two business cards on him. He handed to me one and then one to my married girlfriend.”
After leaving, Ruelas eventually drove back to see Giudice — telling her, “My son wanted to know why I didn’t ask for your number,” according to the reality star — before Giudice said she would use the number listed on his business card to contact him.
Giudice’s friend then took her phone and texted Ruelas her number, before the businessman called her later that night and they talked “for hours,” Giudice noted.
