What Teresa Giudice's Relationship With Her Ex-Husband Joe Is Like Today
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has had a turbulent past couple of years with her now ex-husband Joe Giudice, whom she shares four daughters with. Their problems began in 2013 when they were indicted for federal fraud charges, per People. After pleading guilty to mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud, Teresa served 11 months in jail and Joe served three years. Upon his release, however, Joe was faced with deportation orders as he was born in Italy but never obtained American citizenship. He then relocated back to Italy in October 2019 to make more money for his family.
