Rachel Fuda and her husband, John Fuda, took to their Instagram pages on Monday to confirm in a joint post that they’d purchased their 17-year-old son Jaiden a new car.
As fans await news on the upcoming 15th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, John, 37, and Rachel, 33, who recently confirmed her pregnancy, are focused on family, awarding their oldest child with a “well deserved” upgrade in the form of a black Cadillac sedan.
“Congratulations to my boy [Jaiden Fuda] … Another milestone for my first kiddo. SO many exciting things happening this year and I couldn’t be happier for you! You drive me bananas but I love you so much. DRIVE SAFE!” the Fudas’ joint post stated.
In another post, shared on Rachel’s Instagram Story, she shared an additional photo of Jaiden and his new car.
“Well … Jaiden got a little upgrade today! Well deserved,” she declared.
Meanwhile, in the comments section of Rachel and John’s joint post, their RHONJ castmates weighed in on the exciting news.
“Let the fun begin!” said Danielle Cabral, 39.
“Congrats [Jaiden Fuda]!! May it bring you happiness and take you to new places!” shared Margaret Josephs, 57.
“Congrats [Jaiden] drive safe,” added Dolores Catania, 53.
Melissa Gorga, 45, also spoke out, saying, “Okayyy Jaiden.”
As RHONJ fans may recall, Rachel adopted Jaiden amid the 13th season of the Bravo reality series in 2023, which led the child’s then-incarcerated birth mom, Brittany Malsch, 36, to accuse her of doing so only for the sake of a storyline on the show.
Brittany, who gave up her custodial rights to Jaiden over a decade ago, also accused the Fudas of banning her from visiting with the child.
Last year, amid the process of adoption, Rachel spoke out about her decision to legally adopt Jaiden.
“When John and I got married, he thought he was adopted. So this is something that we’ve been talking about for years,” she explained on the May 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live.
Rachel and John also share daughters Gianella, 4, and Guiliana, 2.
