Earlier this year, Milania celebrated the bond between her dad and her stepdad on Teresa's "Namaste Bitches" podcast on PodcastOne.

"You guys know Joe. He's Juicy Joe. Do you think he's going to let just anybody around his girls? No. Luis went to the Bahamas and had dinner with my father, with all of us. We had dinner all together. I was with my parents, who have such a good relationship. They call each other, they act like siblings, honestly. Like you guys act like little kids together."

Milania praised the 48-year-old father of two as "a great stepfather" to her and her sisters, noting, "You guys don't know anything. What Louie has done for my sisters and I, I bet half these men in this world would never do that."

"Louie is so amazing and that's what everyone doesn't know. That's why I'm happy I can actually talk about it on this podcast because I haven't even talked about it that much," she continued. "Louie is such a great stepdad. He really is. Like, He's an amazing guy."

Appearing on Jana Kramer's podcast Whine Down last year, Teresa, 51, opened up about why Ruelas thought it was important for him to forge a relationship with her ex-husband, 51.

Teresa explained that she'd traveled to the Bahamas — where Joe lives after being deported from the United States to his native Italy in 2019 — with Luis to pick up one of the former couple's four daughters. During the trip, Luis took advantage of the opportunity to connect with Joe.

"When he set it up, the dinner with my ex, he DM'ed him and I didn't even know about it," Teresa revealed. "We were going to the Bahamas to pick up my youngest ... and he DM'ed him."

After some initial panic and pushback from Teresa, Luis explained the importance of the three getting together.

"He's like, 'Babe, don't you understand? I want to be good with Joe cause it'll make the girls feel comfortable,'" she shared, adding, "I'm just saying, he's a gem. He really is."

Since then, co-parenting has gone smoothly among the three. "It's great," she shared in the episode. "My kids are really happy."
