REAL Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga has said she hopes her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice "ends up with" her rumored boyfriend Tony "The Pool Guy" DeLorenzo.
The 40-year-old reality star gushed on Watch What Happens Live, that Teresa's hunk is "a good guy" and best friends with her husband, Joe Gorga.
Melissa told host Andy Cohen on last night's WWHL: "Tony is at my house five days a week.
"He's Joe Gorga's best friend since they were in third grade!"
However, she went on to say she doesn't think her sister-in-law and the pool guy will ever be more than just old pals.
She said: "They are really just a friendship. They really are.
"They grew up together also, they lived across the street from each other.
They're both single right now, so they're both like, look at me, hey look at me!
"He's a good guy. I would love for her to end up with Tony! But I honestly don't think that's going to happen."
On the RHONJ episode which aired right before WWHL, Teresa Giudice showed off Tony's shirtless selfies over dinner in the Hamptons.
The 47-year-old Bravo mom insisted: “He’s my friend.”
But Melissa was shocked by the texts asking: “Did he send that to you?
"This is making me uncomfortable for some reason! Teresa, put the phone away!”
Melissa later said in a confessional: “I’m so used to seeing her married and with Joe.
"To even see her talk about another guy or flirt, someone has a six pack or that they’re not. It’s just kind of weird for me."
Teresa also said during the dinner she and Tony dated in high school but never had sex.
Over the holidays, Tony and Teresa were seen cozying up on a walk before grabbing breakfast together.
Earlier this season on RHONJ, the two also reconnected about Tony renovating her pool.
Last night's RHONJ played out following Joe being photographed dancing with bikini-clad women while on vacation in Mexico.
Joe was also spotted under a beach cabana in Isla Mujeres with two women, holding one of the women's legs.
