Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice Split After 20 Years of Marriage
The time has come for Teresa and Joe Giudice. According to Us Weekly, the reality TV couple is going their separate ways after 20 years of marriage.
“Teresa and Joe have separated, but have no plans to divorce yet. Teresa and Joe talked about their future when she and the girls were in Italy and decided it was best for them to separate,” a source told the outlet. “Neither of them wanted to be in a long distance relationship. Joe has been dating in Italy, Teresa is busy taking care of their girls right now. They harbor no ill will towards each other and will continue to coparent their kids. The girls will be going to Italy in December, Teresa will be staying home.”
Teresa and Joe married in 1999 and renewed their vows in 2011. They are the parents of four daughters: Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10.
A few years ago, they pleaded guilty to 41 counts of fraud, including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and three types of bankruptcy fraud. Teresa served 11 months in federal prison in 2015, while Joe served 41 months until March 2019.
He’s currently in Italy after being deported by the U.S. government. He is awaiting approval to return to the U.S. for citizenship.
It was great while it lasted, but all good things must come to an end. We hope it’s for the better.
RIP, Teresa and Joe.
