Rachel Fuda Reunites With RHONJ Costars for Baby Shower

Rachel Fuda reunited with her Real Housewives of New Jersey costars for her baby shower.

“Showering our girl with love 💙 Can’t wait for baby boy Fuda! What a beautiful party. We had so much fun today!!” RHONJ star Danielle Cabral wrote via Instagram on Sunday, January 5, alongside several photos of the mom-to-be from her baby shower.

One snap featured a Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion — Cabral, 39, Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga and Jenn Fessler were all smiles as they posed with Fuda, 33, on her special day.

Josephs, 57, wrote in the comments section, “Such a great day all together celebrating our girl 💙💙💙,” while Fessler, 55, commented, “Fabulous day with fabulous women! ❤️❤️❤️.” Gorga, 45, for her part, commented on Cabral’s sweet post with a series of blue hearts.

Gorga also shared a series of photos from Fuda’s baby shower via Instagram. “Bonjour baby Fuda🥹💙,” she captioned her post, which included a video of a performance from Ru Paul’s Drag Race star Crystal Envy. “The most amazing day! Such a perfect way to celebrate our baby boy on the way,” Fuda wrote in the comments.

Late last year, Fuda announced that she was expecting a baby boy while at Disney World. She and husband John shared a video via TikTok in November which showed them wearing respective “Mommy” and “Daddy” Disney-themed shirts, posing in front of Magic Kingdom with a blue Mickey Mouse balloon.

“IT’S A BOY,” Fuda wrote in the caption alongside a blue heart emoji. “We are so excited for our little prince coming this winter!” At the time, the announcement received plenty of love from the RHONJ cast.

“Yay! Can’t wait,” Cabral wrote at the time, while Gorga added, “Little baby boy!!! Lets goo!!!!” Fuda announced that she and John were expanding their family on RHONJ during the season 14 episode “Off the Rails,” which aired in August 2024.

The couple tied the knot in 2017 and share 17-year-old son Jaiden — whom Fuda legally adopted in 2023 — and daughters Gianella, 4, and Giuliana, 2, who were both conceived via IVF. The latest addition to their family was also conceived using IVF.

“I just feel so grateful, and I have so much gratitude,” Fuda exclusively told Us Weekly in August after announcing her latest pregnancy. “I feel very blessed and very lucky.”

Her choice to undergo IVF again was discussed during season 13 of RHONJ when she told John she wanted to try for another baby.

“The clock is ticking,” Fuda told John during one episode. “I just feel like, four kids, that’s a good number. The time is now. This is, like, a year process. I want to do this and be done.”

After she and John welcomed their second daughter, Fuda opened up about what it was like to balance motherhood while filming the reality TV series. “It was tough. You don’t feel like yourself,” she exclusively told Us in 2022. “You’re uncomfortable. Your body isn’t really yours yet. It was definitely tough. It was mentally very trying, but I feel like I handled it really well.”

However, she gushed about the “amazing support system” she had in her family. “I’m so grateful for that,” Fuda told Us. “Without my parents, my husband, my brother and sister-in-law, I would not be able to have done any of this.”
