Maybe there should be a reunion of the exes of Teresa Giudice's fiance, Louie Ruelas?

Louie's unnamed exes were a topic of spirited conversation on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 12 reunion episode Tuesday, May 10. The subject of the exes — how many we're talking about is unknown — came up when host Andy Cohen asked Teresa how her kids felt about moving in with him.

The kids are good with it, despite much of the just-concluded season of “RHONJ” revolving around the contents of Louie's bizarre beach video, where he apologized to an ex surrounded by shirtless men on a beach. Add in the steady drip of revelations about Louie on the show, including allegations of spousal abuse, which he's denied.

“The ex-girlfriends are putting it out,” said Jennifer Aydin. “They're bitter.”

Teresa contends that Margaret Josephs is spreading the Louie gossip, not the exes.

“These exes want to bury this guy,” said Andy in a hushed tone.

Teresa countered that by standing up and spinning around in her mirror-ball jumpsuit.

“No, it's because he's with Teresa Giudice. Teresa Giudice, that's why,” she said. “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? No, he's dating Teresa — that's why this is happening.”

Sister-in-law Melissa Gorga rolled her eyes.

“Maybe if he was dating Margaret Josephs, this wouldn't be happening,” Teresa added.

“You are so pompous,” Margaret snipped.

Next week, on the third and final Season 12 reunion episode, the guys, including Louie, come out. Perhaps then we'll get a resolution on the matter.

Another of Louie's exes came up when Dolores Catania held the floor. A Louie ex is dating Dolores' ex, David Principe.

Apparently, Louie's ex was dating Louie for two months before he met Teresa.

“The day he met you he never called her again,” said Dolores to Teresa, who has since announced her engagement to Louie.

David, by the way, is living with Dolores ex-husband, Frank Catania, it was revealed on Tuesday's the show.

Clean breaks are rare in New Jersey. Part three of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 12 reunion, the final one, airs at 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 17, on Bravo.
