Joe Giudice Opens Up About Teresa's Life in Prison

Charles Sykes/Bravo(NEW YORK) — Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice said although his wife, Teresa, is serving a 15-month prison sentence at Danbury Federal Prison, she still keeps in touch with their four daughters regularly.

“They email her all the time…every day, so, they email more than me,” he told Extra.

The Giudices are parents to Gia, 13, Milania, 9, Gabriella, 8, and Audriana, 3.

Still, Joe admitted that it’s hard raising his girls without their mother.

“You have to stay strong, when you have four kids, you have to stay strong,” he said. “Her being away definitely makes me appreciate her way more, a lot more, and you know everything she did.”

Giudice, who also has an upcoming prison sentence of over three years for fraud after Teresa gets out, added that behind bars, his wife has “a little group she hangs out with and does her thing with every day, and who she goes to the gym with and who she hangs out with, and who does her hair and who does her nails. They have their little thing going every day.”

In fact, he said the family — who goes up to see Teresa every weekend — once waited an hour for her while she was doing her hair.
