Teresa Giudice Denies New Romance But ‘No One Close To Her Believes Her’

Teresa Giudice swore she’s loyal to her jailbird husband Joe on The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, but one source says those closest to the Bravo TV star don’t buy it! In fact, Teresa’s pals reportedly think she’s getting close with another New Jersey man!

Last fall, Teresa’s RHONJ co-star and enemy Kim DePaola claimed that Teresa, 45, is hooking up with NJ real estate consultant, Shane Wierks, 32, while her husband completes his 41-month prison sentence for fraud.

“Teresa publicly claims she and Shane are just friendly, but no one believes her. She’d been talking about finding a man, and now it seems she’s found one," an insider told Life & Style.

Over the holidays, suspicions were raised when Teresa and Shane both shared pics from Cancun, Mexico.

However, Teresa insists Shane, who is pals with her brother Joe Gorga and his wife Melissa, “has always been a friend a nothing more.”

But the insider said Teresa and Shane’s friendship is just further proof of their romance. “Teresa felt she could trust Shane because he knows her family,” the source claimed, adding, “When Joe hears about Shane, he’s going to freak out.”
