Joe appealed the deportation three times but was ultimately denied (perNJ.com).
Teresa took her daughters to see their father in Italy.
During that time, the two came to terms with their reality.
“Neither of them wanted to be in a long-distance relationship.”
“I’ve known for like a long time.
Just because we’ve been apart for so long,” she toldPeople.
“We’ve been apart for a really long time.
The divorce was finalized in September 2020.
Teresa later revealed that Joe Giudice didn’t get anything in the divorce.
“And I’ve been taking care of our daughters for five years now all on my own.”
Joe opened up about co-parenting his four daughters (pictured above with Teresa) from another continent.
“I’ve known Teresa since she was born …
I can’t get mad at her,” he admitted toE!
That would be a disaster.”
He added that the family simply had to move forward and make the best of a bad situation.
