Teresa Giudice celebrates ‘mini-me’ daughter Milania’s 18th birthday: ‘You truly are the life of the party’

Milania Giudice is all grown up!

The second youngest of Teresa Giudice’s four daughters turned 18 on Friday.

“Happy 18th birthday 🎂 to my gorgeous Milania, my mini me! 🎉,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star captioned an Instagram carousel featuring photos of the brunette beauty through the years.

“You’ve blossomed into an incredible young woman with a heart of gold. Your beauty radiates both inside and out, and your love, care, and kindness never cease to amaze me,” Teresa gushed.

The Bravolebrity, 51, went on to call Milania — who recently revealed she’ll be attending the University of Tampa in Florida — an “amazing young woman” who works hard and dedicates herself to “everything” she does.

“You truly are the life of the party, bringing joy and laughter wherever you go,” Teresa concluded. “Love you endlessly! 💕.”

Milania replied in the comments section, “i love you❤️❤️❤️.”

The Giudices celebrated the milestone on Thursday with a home-cooked meal by Teresa at her and her husband Luis “Louie” Ruelas’ home.

For the cozy dinner, the cookbook author made chicken cutlets and “escarole with beans, Milania’s favorite.”

Her dad, Joe Giudice — who lives in the Bahamas — made sure to pay tribute from afar.

“Happy birthday love you so much keep shining,” Joe, also 51, wrote atop an Instagram Story picture of the father-daughter duo, going on to share a sweet video montage.

Teresa and Joe divorced in September 2020 after 20 years of marriage following their respective prison sentences for bank, mail, wire, bankruptcy and tax fraud.

After getting deported to his native Italy, Joe relocated to the Bahamas and set up a new life for himself.

Though Teresa stayed in the Garden State, she moved on, too. In August 2022, she married Ruelas, 48.

Earlier this week, Teresa shut down speculation of trouble in paradise.
