RHONJ star Teresa Giudice and her fiancé Luis Ruelas spent New Year's on the beach as she showed off some sexy snaps from their getaway.
Days earlier, the newly-engaged couple celebrated Christmas with their friends and family at their new $3.4 million New Jersey mansion.
Teresa, 49, took to her to share photos from their romantic vacation to Cabo San Lucas to ring in the new year.
In one pic, the reality star posed on the sand with her beau wearing short jean shorts, a black tank top, and sneakers.
She wore her long brunette hair down for the shot.
Her husband-to-be also donned active gear sporting camo shorts, a black sleeveless top, and sneakers.
The happy couple smiled at the camera, each holding a bike helmet as tire tracks are marked in the sand.
Teresa captioned the post: "Love is just word… until someone comes along and gives it meaning ❤️ "

In a follow-up post, she shared a clip from the fireworks display commemorating the new year.
CHRISTMAS GATHERING
The week prior, Teresa gave her followers a glimpse at her Christmas Eve celebrations on the platform.
The TV personality shared snaps of the elaborate setup, featuring red table clothes and striped runners.
The tables were decorated with shiny dishes and matching plates and festive floral arrangements.
Teresa also showcased some of the food she was serving at the party, including charcuterie boards full of meats, cheeses and fruits.
Several Italian dishes were offered along with an extensive dessert spread that included doughnuts, Italian pastries, pies, cakes, and more.
The mom-of-four captured snapshots of desserts lining the tables, as well as doughnuts hanging on wheels.
One doughnut wheel read: "The Giudice Family" while another read "The Ruelas Family."
Ahead of the gathering, Teresa and Louie hit a local mall for some last minute shopping, according to a photo posted by the 46-year-old businessman.
Teresa's extravagant holiday bash comes after the release of the trailer for the upcoming season of Real Housewives of New Jersey.
NEW SEASON, MORE DRAMA
Teresa, who has starred on the hit reality show for many years, is featured heavily in the teaser.
Her storyline, it appears, will focus on her new relationship with Louie, whom she recently got engaged to.
That, along with some other things, will cause serious drama for the star.
She's shown feuding with several costars in the trailer, including Margaret Josephs - whom she's clashed with in the past - and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.
The preview features a massive brawl, which involves Teresa.
In the fight, Teresa is shown tossing cocktail glasses at Margaret, who previously slammed Louie as a sex addict.
Another scene features Teresa screaming at her costar: "You better stay the f**k out of my face. You want to try to pop my love bubble, it's not gonna happen."
Later, in a bar, Margaret shouted: "Keep lying Teresa," as she yelled back, "Disgusting white trash b***h," while being held back by security.
Although Teresa's anger seems to be mostly directed at Margaret, at least in the trailer, she's not the only one talking about the star behind her back.
BASHING LUIS
Sources previously told The Sun: "Everyone has been gossiping about Teresa, however, Margaret Josephs has been the most vocal on camera, claiming that Luis Ruelas is a 'sex addict' with 'a history of abuse'," referencing tales Luis' ex-girlfriends have shared online.
The insider added: "Behind Teresa's back the women have gone as far as to label Luis 'an opportunist' with 'an agenda' and proceed to mock Teresa's intelligence for falling in love with a man who has such a questionable history."
Per the source, of all the RHONJ ladies, Jennifer Aydin has been most "supportive" of Teresa's relationship.
Teresa split from Joe Giudice in December 2019 after 20 years of marriage.
The divorce was finalized almost a year later.
They share four daughters: Gia, 20, Milania, 15, Gabriella, 17, and Audriana, 12.
