While the fate of The Real Housewives of New Jersey remains a mystery, Rachel Fuda and her husband, John Fuda, have something more important to celebrate. Their baby boy, Lorenzo Fuda, has finally arrived! Now this party of six can move forward with their newest family member.
Rachel Fuda says that baby Lorenzo “is our final piece”
RHONJ fans have been along for Rachel’s entire pregnancy. She announced the news in August 2024 that she and John were expecting. They once again used IVF to conceive their baby. Then, while visiting Disney World, the couple revealed that they were expecting a baby boy. John and Rachel already share daughters Gianella and Giuliana. And, Rachel formally adopted John’s son, Jaiden.
Of course, Rachel had a baby shower. The French-themed party included guests and RHONJ co-stars Melissa Gorga, Danielle Cabral, Margaret Josephs, and Jenn Fessler.
Finally, Lorenzo Antonio Fuda arrived on February 19, 2025. “With the birth of our last baby, our family has grown into everything we ever dreamed – a beautiful circle of six hearts, bound by love, laughter, and the journey we’ve shared,” Rachel told PEOPLE.
“This little soul is our final piece, the sweetest ending to a chapter of beginnings, and the start of a lifetime of cherished moments together.”
She added, “Our hearts are fuller, our home is brighter – our baby boy is here, and I am so grateful to be a mother again.”
In an emotional nod to their families, Lorenzo’s middle name Antonio shares a special meaning. His name is in memory of Anna Del Vescovo, Rachel’s late grandmother. It also honors John’s grandmother, Ida Fuda, who worshipped St. Anthony. Plus, Lorenzo was born on the same day as Joseph Fuda, John’s grandfather, and the family’s patriarch. What an amazing connection Lorenzo already has with his family.
Congratulations to Rachel and John on their beautiful new addition. Welcome to the world, baby Lorenzo!
