Rachel Fuda has some exciting news to share—she’s pregnant!
The 33-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star is expecting her fourth child with her husband, John Fuda, after undergoing IVF.
Rachel shared the joyful news during a toast on Sunday’s reunion episode of the show. As her co-star Melissa Gorga remarked that there was “a lot of life to be had,” Rachel chimed in with the surprising announcement, “Considering I’m pregnant!”
Following the on-air reveal, Rachel spoke exclusively to People magazine, expressing her and John’s excitement about their growing family. “We’re so thrilled to be a party of six,” she gushed. The couple, who have been through a challenging journey with IVF, now feel their family is finally becoming complete.
Rachel opened up about the hurdles they faced during the IVF process, describing the emotional and physical toll it took on her. “First of all, it costs a lot of money. But second of all, you’re on all these medications that just throw your body off,” she explained. “I was hormonal, breaking out so bad, tired and on edge; my mood was going up, down, up, down. I just felt like, ‘I can’t do this anymore.'”
The Fuda family’s excitement isn’t limited to Rachel and John. Their daughters, Gianella, 4, and Giuliana, 2, were “over the top” when they found out they’d soon have a new sibling. Rachel also spoke fondly of John’s 17-year-old son, Jaiden, from a previous relationship, whom she adopted.
“He loves being a big brother,” she said. “He’s such a family kid. I know there’s a big age gap, but he loves to hang out with the kids. He and his girlfriend, they’ll actually come play with the kids for hours just to spend time with them.”
To celebrate their growing family, Rachel shared a family photo shoot on Instagram, captioning the beach snaps with heartfelt words: “When I was a little girl, I dreamt of my life as a mother, filling my future home with family and love. I’m forever grateful to God for allowing me to live my dream every day.”
She concluded, “With full hearts, we are counting our many blessings as we excitedly anticipate becoming a family of six.”
Rachel’s pregnancy news comes as Bravo’s Andy Cohen has hinted at a potential RHONJ reboot, possibly featuring an all-new cast. While the decision isn’t definitive, fans are left wondering what the future holds for the show as it potentially undergoes a transformation.
Rachel has been a prominent cast member since Season 13 of RHONJ.
