Milania Giudice celebrated her sister Gabriella’s twenty-second birthday on Sunday with an Instagram tribute that didn’t sugarcoat anything.“I’ve put you through a lot over the years, and I know I haven’t always made being my sister easy, but you’ve always been there for me,”Milania, twenty, wrote, calling Gabriella“the best sister.”The post included throwback photos of the sisters and a picture featuring Milania’s late best friend, Victoria Zardoya.
That caption carries extra weight given the year this family has had. Gabriella reportedly called authorities during Milania’s May arrest at Teresa Giudice’s home, where Milania faces simple assault and bodily injury charges. She has pleaded not guilty, and her next court date is December 1. In September, a heated airport exchange with her mom and sister Gia made the rounds before getting deleted. And in July, Victoria died after a fall in Florida.
Both Teresa and Joe Giudice have publicly asked for compassion while Milania receives professional support. Whatever your take on the Giudices, a twenty-year-old publicly thanking her sister for sticking around after everything is a moment worth pausing on. Sibling love that survives the hard stuff is no small thing.
