Joe Giudice meets his daughters at airport in Italy
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars Teresa and Joe Giudice are no longer a couple but they seem to be keeping things cordial.
In an Instagram post Tuesday, Joe revealed that the former couple's four daughters would be celebrating Christmas with him in Italy, and Teresa showed her stamp of approval in a comment.
"So happy they’re with you," she wrote.
Last week, ABC News confirmed that the Giudices were ending their marriage after 20 years. After pleading guilty to fraud charges in 2014, Teresa was sentenced to serve 11 months behind bars, which she did in 2015. Joe began his 41-month sentence the next year. However, because Joe never obtained American citizenship, he was held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Pennsylvania upon his release from prison in March and sent back to Italy, where he is currently waiting a final ruling about deportation.
In November, Teresa told "Good Morning America" that she thinks Joe may have been unfaithful to her during their marriage and said that she didn't think it was necessarily "feasible" to be married to someone who lives in another country. Still, she added that it was important for her to take their daughters -- Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 14, and Audriana, 10 -- to Europe to spend time with their father.
"We had the best time ever. It was so good," she said. "He said he cried after we left. He cried the whole day, he said. Missing his daughters. He was so sad."
