— -- When Teresa Giudice reported to prison earlier this year, her husband, Joe, took on the responsibility of raising their four daughters on his own.

According to Melissa Gorga, who's married to Teresa's brother, he's doing a good job.

"It's heavy on his heart. It's a lot," she said during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live. "He's manning up. He's doing what he has to do."
