'On the way home we went through the airport. I’d designed a ring in my head which was a heart with all diamonds going around it and it was there [in the airport].

Gia Giudice is setting the record straight.
In the Nov. 3 episode of her podcast, Casual Chaos, the 24-year-old daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice addressed the "crazy rumors" circulating online that she got married.
She began by sharing that there is a "crazy AI account on Facebook" that has been "making the most fake news" about her life. One of those "news" headlines was that she has tied the knot with boyfriend Christian Carmichael — and it seems some people have taken it as truth.
"I was in the nail salon the other day, and this lady was like, 'Oh, my God, your wedding dress was gorgeous.' And I was like, 'What is she talking about?' " Gia recalled. "Like, I did not get married, nor am I engaged, nor did I have a secret wedding with only my immediate family. Like, none of this happened."
"Like, we're not getting married," the Next Gen NYC star continued, referring to Carmichael.
Gia said there are also rumors that she's "been pregnant before," to which she responded: "Not pregnant. Maybe I just looked chunky that day."
As for all the fake news, she told her viewers, "Just ignore it all."
"Like, no one's pregnant. No one's married. No one's engaged," she said.
Gia went on to speak about her relationship with Carmichael, whom she began dating in 2020 after the pair met during a beach weekend in New Jersey ahead of her freshman year of college at Rutgers University.
"We've been together since we were 19," she said, before sharing what keeps their connection solid. "I think the foundation of our relationship is honestly trust. We've been through a lot. We've been through a lot of ups and downs. So I think the biggest thing is trust. And we're still going strong."
Gia previously noted on her podcast that her family fully supports her relationship with Carmichael.
"My mom loves Christian," she said. "But, you know, Christian honestly has an amazing relationship with everyone in my family."
She shared that Carmichael has also visited her father, Joe Giudice, in the Bahamas, where he lives. "You guys have a great relationship," Gia told her boyfriend, who had joined her on the podcast episode at the time. "You guys always joke around with each other."
While she's not engaged or married, Gia did recently make a major life change, finally deciding to move out of her mom's home and into an apartment. She revealed during her Nov. 3 podcast episode that she is set to move to Jersey City, N.J., "in one week."
Addressing whether she sees herself ever leaving her home state of New Jersey, she said, "I'm open to exploring other towns in my 20s, whether it's Brooklyn or I do move to [New York City]. But Jersey City was a good step for me because my heart will always be in Jersey."
"My family's here. My boyfriend's here. And it's just the perfect happy medium to make my commute easier to the city, but then also make it easy for me to just get on the highway and come see my family or boyfriend," she continued. "So I don't know. I'm open to exploring in my 20s, but long term, yes. I think I will always be in Jersey."
