Let’s go, girls.
Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice will both be returning to “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Page Six can confirm.
Sources tell us that Bravo has offered the estranged sisters-in-law each a contract for Season 14 of the hit reality series.
We hear their castmates will include returning stars Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, along with “friends” Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler, whose roles have not yet been confirmed.
Additionally, we’re told cameras are set to pick up at the end of August.
“This is an amazing cast that delivered one of the most successful seasons in franchise history,” an insider tells us. “Why try and fix something if it isn’t broken?”
A second source adds, “While it once seemed like the show wouldn’t be able to move forward with both Teresa and Melissa, it was ultimately decided that both women are integral.”
Just last month, Gorga, 44, shut down a report claiming she was interested in leaving the ensemble cast to star in her own spinoff show.
“I actually don’t want a spinoff,” the Envy boutique owner commented on a post about the rumors. “I like where I am 💁🏻♀️.”
Though Giudice, 51, did not publicly address the report, which claimed that she also wanted her own spinoff, a source close to the cookbook author told us at the time, “That conversation has never taken place.”
As we previously reported, filming for “RHONJ” Season 14 was set to begin in early June, but the show was put “on pause” amid Gorga and Giudice’s ongoing feud.
In May, insiders told us the network did not know how to proceed under the strained conditions and that no one had been offered a contract to come back — nor had anyone been fired.

Season 13 — which concluded last month — was particularly explosive, as Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, refused to attend Giudice’s wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas after the groom allegedly told Joe that Melissa was cheating on him.
Then during the reunion, Teresa accused her brother and Melissa of being responsible for putting her and her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, “in jail.”
“Teresa, we didn’t commit mortgage fraud — you did, dollface. Like, stop,” Melissa responded to the allegation.
Later, Teresa called Melissa a “fake and phony” “gaslighting bitch” who has “dragged [her] through the mud for 10 years.”
Tensions boiled over once the men made their way to the stage, as Joe referred to Ruelas as a “woman abuser.”
