Gia Giudice opened up about her new reality show, Making It in Manhattan, during an interview earlier this week at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

As the 24-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star also commented on the upcoming 15th season of the long-running Bravo show, Gia looked ahead to the premiere of her new podcast, Casual Chaos, sharing if boyfriend Christian Carmichael, 23, will be a guest and confirming she’ll be discussing Teresa, 52, and Joe Giudice‘s divorce and legal drama.

“It wasn’t as serious as Housewives,” Gia told Us Weekly on March 17 of Making It in Manhattan, which also stars the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Brooks Marks and the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Riley Burruss and Ariana Biermann.

“I can’t wait to see the trailer. I’m so excited,” Gia continued, noting that the series was coming “very soon” and would be “a lot different” from the Real Housewives.

As for RHONJ, Gia admitted, “I don’t know when that’s coming back.”

For now, Gia is focused on her podcast, which premieres on March 24.

“I’m super excited for everybody to hear it. I’m gonna have amazing guests on,” she teased. “I’m also just excited for my fans to get to know me on a deeper, lighter, more fun of a level.”

“I’ve been on Housewives my whole life. I grew up in the spotlight, and I’ve been through a lot throughout my life,” she continued. “My family’s divorced, legal issues, family issues, so I feel like my family is getting out of this dark cloud right now. We’re finally seeing the light and just living life, enjoying and just really steering away from all that toxicity.”

As she prepares to showcase a different side of herself, Gia will be welcoming Christian, who she’s been dating since 2019, to her podcast, which is “more fun” and “casual” than fans are used to seeing her.

“We’re gonna really dive deep into our relationship. We’ve been through it all together. We’ve grown up together … We’re the same age, so we’ve really grown as a couple,” she shared. “I think that’s the most important part.”

“It’s not so dark,” she added. “There’s a lot to look forward to in 2025 … Big things in 2025 for the Giudices.”

During another interview with PEOPLE, Gia said she was excited “to talk about my experience and just share my experience on how I handled my parents’ [Teresa and Joe Giudice] divorce, legal issues, relationships, health, wellness” on Casual Chaos. “I’m excited to talk about all these topics and really connect with my fans on a personal level.”

“I think you learn from your parents. You learn from what you see. You learn from just watching yourself on TV,” she went on.

Gia then noted that Teresa was supportive of the project.

“She’s happy for me. She’s like, ‘You’re killing it, and this is going to be your year,’” Gia revealed. “I’m definitely going to cover it all. I’m also excited to just give the fans a little bit more about me and that fun, lighthearted side of me.”
