3 main highlights from The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 trailer

1) Rachel Fuda's family reunion

At the beginning of the season 14 sneak peek, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Rachel Fuda shared details about her family. She revealed that her son Jaiden is now a "mini man" while her daughter Gigi just turned three. As a mother, Rachel felt her kids were growing up too fast.

Fuda invited her family over for dinner at her house due to the distance between them. Rachel's parents, who previously used to live 45 minutes away from her, moved more than an hour away, which is why she needed to plan a get-together.

"There is always so much going on in the Fuda household....So I always make sure that a couple times a month that we get together, spend some quality time and enjoy a nic meal," she said.

2) Jennifer Fessler's surprise party

During the family reunion dinner, Rachel Fuda shared with her grandma that Jennifer Fessler's husband Jeff had reached out to her. Jeff wanted to throw a birthday party for his wife. Fuda was excited to plan the party and send invitations to Jennifer's close friends. As Jen wanted to include everyone and "not leave anyone out" in her celebrations, Fuda sent e-invites to Jennifer Aydin and Teresa Giudice.

To the viewers' surprise, Teresa replied with a thank you message despite their ongoing conflict. In a confessional interview clip included in The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 trailer, Fuda said she was not "building a bridge" with Teresa.

"The sole reason I like, reached out to Teresa at all was for the party. That's it. I mean her husband hired an investigator to investigate us and I have no interest in being friends with people that do sh*t like that," she said.
