Gia Giudice Reveals How Her Sister Milania is Coping with the Loss of Best Friend Victoria Zardoya

Gia Giudice, reality television star and sister to Milania Giudice, has opened up about the impact of the sudden passing of their close friend Victoria Zardoya. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Gia shared her thoughts on Milania's grief and the bond between the four friends who were like family. "Victoria was more than just a best friend to Milania," Gia said.
"They grew up together, living within the same neighborhood, and were practically inseparable. Victoria and Alexandra, Milania's twin sister, were neighbors when we lived on 6 Indian Lane, and Stephanie, their other close friend, lived nearby. It was a bond that transcended friendship; they were each other's confidantes, playmates, and partners in crime." Tragedy struck in July, when Victoria suffered a fatal fall during a trip to Florida's Fort Dade ruins.
At the tender age of 20, Victoria left behind her parents, her twin sister Alexandra, and countless friends and family members. Her organs were donated in an effort to help others in need. "Milania has taken Victoria's passing especially hard," Gia shared. "Victoria was like her other half, her twin flame. It's heartbreaking to see Milania grieve for the loss of such a vital part of her life.
My thoughts are with Alexandra during this difficult time." Gia also commended Milania's strength in navigating through this challenging period. "She's been an incredible source of support for our family," Gia said, "and she continues to show resilience and courage as we all try to come to terms with the loss of Victoria." As the sisters continue to heal, they remain close and lean on each other for comfort.
The bond between them is unbreakable—a testament to the strength of their friendship that will endure even in the face of adversity. Gia recently made her debut on Bravo's Next Gen NYC, showcasing her first steps into adulthood after graduating from college. "This season has been so much fun," Gia said. "We delve deeper into our personal lives and work experiences.
Tonight's episode features us at BravoCon 2025, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the event and the hectic days we endure." Aside from her professional pursuits, Gia continues to navigate her romantic relationship with longtime boyfriend Christian Carmichael. "Christian is my forever person," she shared, "and I plan to spend the rest of my life with him. Although it was a bit uncomfortable for him at first, he has been incredibly supportive of me and my career." Next Gen NYC airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m.
ET.
