Tearful Joe Giudice greets daughters as they join him in Italy for Christmas while RHONJ star Teresa stays at home
THIS is the emotional moment Joe Giudice welcomes his daughters as they join him for Christmas in Italy - leaving mom Teresa behind.
Footage posted on Joe's Instagram on Tuesday showed the four girls walking through arrivals to greet their gleeful father.
It is probably for the best given the couple's marriage breakdown.
Joe and Teresa's relationship came to an end this month after 23 years of marriage - following allegations of cheating that plagued both of them.
They have spent more than four years apart following their respective prison sentences and Joe's immigration battle.
The couple pleaded guilty to a combined 41 counts of fraud, including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and three types of bankruptcy fraud.
Teresa served 11 months in prison in 2015 - while Joe served 41 months until his release in March 2019.
But he was then taken into custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement before getting deported to his native Italy in October.
Joe is appealing his deportation status and is awaiting a final decision.
