Joe Giudice is overjoyed to finally be reunited with his girls.
In October, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice's husband traveled to Italy after ICE released him from its custody and his request to await the outcome of his deportation appeal in his native country was approved. Joe, a permanent U.S. resident, had been moved to one of their facilities and slated for removal from the United States in March upon his release from prison, where he served 41 months for fraud.
The future of Teresa and Joe's 20-year marriage has been in question amid his incarceration. But she joined their four daughters on a recent trip to Italy to visit her husband, which marks the first time they have seen him in person in three years. On Thursday, the couple's eldest child, Gia Giudice, 18, shared the first photo of the family together physically since her dad entered prison.
Joe also posted images of him and his family in the town of Sala Consilina, including a photo of him and Teresa with Gia and their other daughters—Gabriella Giudice, 15, Milania Giudice, 14, and Audriana Giudice, 10. He also posted videos of him dancing with his daughters.
"Welcome to sala," he wrote.
"Love you all with all my heart ❤️," Gia wrote.
"Gos bless your beautiful family [sic]," commented Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania.
Co-star Melissa Gorga, Teresa's sister-in-law, also expressed her love.
Joe also shared on his Instagram Story a photo of Teresa and their daughters at a seafood and pasta dinner at a restaurant.
"Love my girls ❤️," he wrote.
Teresa also shares from photos from the family's trip to Italy, including a pic of her and Miliana wearing corresponding Gucci sweatshirts, shots of their fancy dinner and an image taken at a gelato shop.
