Teresa, 52, has been a part of Real Housewives of New Jersey since its Season 1 premiere in 2009 and is currently the show’s only remaining original member.
Since Milania was only a toddler when her mother first signed onto the reality show, many franchise fans were shocked to see her all grown up.
On Sunday, Teresa shared an Instagram carousel to commemorate Milania, one of the four daughters she shares with her ex, Joe Giudice, 52.
The couple also share Gia, 23, Gabriella, 19, and Audriana, 15.
The first photo showed Teresa and Milania standing side by side on her high school’s football field.
Milania opted for a mid-calf white dress underneath her green cap and gown, which she paired with open-toed white heels.
She had her makeup done and her brunette hair styled in loose waves as she held onto a congratulatory bouquet of white flowers.
Teresa looked slimmer than ever in an off-the-shoulder white top and skintight black pants, which she paired with heels as well.
The carousel also included a video of Milania walking across the field and other shots of the graduate alongside her mom, her stepdad Louie Ruelas, and her three sisters.
Teresa gushed over the accomplishment in the caption and said she was “so excited” for her daughter to start at the University of Tampa in the fall.
‘SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY’
In the comments, fans couldn’t help but remember watching Milania grow up on RHONJ over the past 15 years.
“We have literally watched all your beautiful girls grow up on TV, I can’t believe she’s graduating!! You did an amazing job with all of your girls!!!” one person wrote.
“Congratulations Milania! Watching the episode right of when you had your hiphop song, and look at you now!” said a second.

“Seems like yesterday we watched her start kindergarten,” added a third.
“Why are my little girls growing up so fast? I swear they were such babies so many years ago when they started the real housewives of New Jersey can they go back to being tiny again? They are too cute,” wrote a fourth.
“Yayyyy! We watched her entire life go by. What a great girl she is,” said another.
Some comments also noted that Milania’s dad, Joe, was seemingly absent from the special day.
However, Teresa replied to one concerned fan and confirmed that she FaceTimed him at some point during the ceremony.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR RHONJ?
Season 14 of RHONJ, which wrapped earlier this year, had exceptionally low ratings compared to seasons past.
Many fans have put the blame on Teresa’s feud with her step-sister, Melissa Gorga, 45.
The rivals’ ongoing estrangement has caused fans to either side with “Team Melissa” or “Team Teresa,” which has led to a drop in viewership due to the show’s “change in dynamics and friendships.”
“It seems like the cast is in part blaming Teresa and Melissa’s feud for the poor ratings and the uncertain future,” an insider told The U.S. Sun.
“Fans followed their relationship since Melissa became a housewife in season three and they want to continue to see the ups and downs.”
The insider said they have “no clue if there is another season or even who is safe and who is on the chopping block.”
As of now, no official cast has been announced for Season 15.
Both Melissa and Teresa have confirmed that their relationship is over, with Melissa telling Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, “There’s no [relationship]. You might as well stop asking me.
“It’s not happening anymore. I just want to be totally honest with you,” she added.
Teresa got re-married to her now-husband Louie in August 2022.
