Reality star Teresa Giudice had an extra special Mother’s Day last week. Not only was she celebrated by her four daughters, but she also saw her eldest, Gia, graduate from Rutgers University with a bachelor’s in criminal justice.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star took to Instagram on Monday to praise her daughter for all her hard work as well as expressing the love she has for her. “I am so proud of my devoted and intelligent daughter, Gia, for graduating a stellar university, a huge milestone to accomplish in life. Seeing you graduate college is one of the most special moments in my life,” Giudice wrote.

“You definitely paved the path of success for your sisters, and you are an inspiration to them and me. I am so excited to see what your future holds. You have always been a leader and a determined individual. Your attributes are admirable, and I have no doubt that you will do anything less than reach for the stars. I love you to infinity and beyond!💗🎓,” the proud mom wrote, concluding her post.

Gia was pictured wearing a white pencil dress featuring a square neckline with wide shoulder straps, which she paired with white heels, gold bracelets, rings, and her signature pendant necklace. Giudice opted for a chic beige three-piece linen suit, which consisted of a crop top, blazer and wide-leg pants.

Gia also took to Instagram to reciprocate the love, sharing a graduation photo and celebrating her mother. “Happy Mother’s Day to my best friend and my rock. Thank you for everything you do. You are so selfless and always put our needs before yours,” the 22-year-old recent graduate wrote.

“Thank you for being so supportive throughout everything I choose to endure in life! Your smile and laugh light up any room! I look up to you in so many ways; thank you for setting the proper example of what a strong, ambitious, and powerful woman is. I’m so happy yesterday was your best Mother’s Day, celebrating my graduation, and I hope I made you proud. I love you so much, and you deserve all the happiness in the world❤️.”
