Rachel Fuda of The Real Housewives of New Jersey isn't ashamed of what she looked like before the show or even after. After Jennifer Aydin's nose job received a lot of backlash in past seasons, it was no surprise that Rachel received some as well when she ed the show during RHONJ season 13. Rachel wasn't an exception to the rule, as her face has clearly changed over the last few years.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Rachel Fuda ed the show this year after being introduced at Melissa Gorga's rollerskating party. The youngest housewife snatched Jackie Goldschnieder's former full-time position and earned her title as she was asked back to RHONJ season 14 as a full-time housewife again. Rachel was a breath of fresh air last season, but the mother of two daughters and one stepson has changed her tune after she and Teresa began feuding early in the season. Hopefully, the stress of this feud doesn't change Rachel's look any further.

Rachel Fuda Goes For A Natural Look

Sometimes Makeup Isn't Needed

In an episode from RHONJ season 13, Jennifer called out Rachel's nose job while everyone was attending Teresa Giudice's housewarming party. While Rachel has never denied her facial enhancement, the insult from Jennifer came out as an attack. In this photo from July 2021 with her stepson, Jaiden Fuda, Rachel's face is sporting much less makeup as she aimed for a more natural look. While Rachel looks beautiful in this photo, there is a clear difference between how she looks here and on the show.

Rachel Looks Younger

Right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, Rachel got to meet one of her idols, Jessica Simpson, in February 2020 at a book g. Rachel sported a Burberry poncho with her face fully made up. Rachel's nose looked to be a bit swollen, and it could be that she was still healing from her rhinoplasty. At the time this photo was taken, it looked like Rachel was at the start of her transformation journey.

Rachel took a lot of hits for her nose on RHONJ, especially during her first season.

Rachel Fuda From 2015

Rachel Looks Like A Typical Jersey Girl

This photo from 2015 shows Rachel, whose age is shocking, posing with her now husband, John Fuda, while hanging out down the Jersey Shore. The RHONJ star looks like any other 20-something-year-old Jersey girl who is ready to make a splash in Seaside Heights. Rachel is sporting a much fuller nose than the one everyone sees now on the show. While both noses look fine, in the end, it is always Rachel's opinion that matters the most, and she seems pleased with her upgraded look.

Rachel Hasn't Changed Physically Since ing RHONJ

Rachel hasn't changed much since ing RHONJ last season. Like most housewives who return for a second season following their first, they usually look very different physically, but not Rachel. She has mainly stated the same since she ed the show. While Rachel may have physically stayed the same, her attitude has changed. Rachel isn't taking nonsense from her castmates, including Teresa and her close friend Jennifer Fessler. Rachel sees that Jen wants to be close to Teresa, who is now Rachel's enemy. On RHONJ season 14, Rachel isn't afraid to stand up to her bullies, somewhat of a change for Rachel.

Rachel hasn't changed her appearance, but she has changed her attitude.

What Rachel's Life Looks Like In 2025?

Rachel Is Focused On Family

With RHONJ season 14 coming to an end over the summer and season 15 up in the air, Rachel has been focusing more on her family life than her appearance. She's not currently on TV, so Rachel isn't worried about her appearance as much. Rachel's most recent update on Instagram is a series of photos of her and her two daughters at Disney on Ice. Rachel was clearly excited about her daughters seeing this show and even said she couldn't stop watching their faces being in awe of the skating.

Rachel has been spending more time with her family overall, especially with the holiday season recently ending. Rachel is also updating her followers on her pregnancy. She announced she was pregnant over the summer before RHONJ season 14 came to an end. This will be Rachel's third child with her husband, Jon, and his fourth child, as he had his oldest son in a previous relationship.

The most recent update on her pregnancy is an Instagram Reel of her and Jon, with Jon claiming she was "really popping today." This was followed by a fake loving memory image of Jon, insinuating Rachel jokingly killed him for making the comment. The video was clearly done in jest and received many positive comments from her followers.
