“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice’s split from her husband Joe Giudice came as the biggest surprise divorce to a third of our more than 600 respondents. More so than other housewives couples, like Kelly and Michael Dodd and Kenya Moore and Marc Daly, Teresa and Joe’s 20-year marriage seemed like it could withstand major challenges.
Teresa famously took the fall for Joe in a fraud case that resulted in the reality star serving 15 months in prison in 2014, according to Showbiz CheatSheet. Joe also served a 41-month sentence for his crimes and was later deported to his home country of Italy, where Teresa and their four daughters reunited as a family in 2019. “It was amazing,” Teresa told Entertainment Tonight of their reunion at the time. “A lot of happy tears, I was so overwhelmed seeing how happy my daughters were, how happy Joe was.”
Despite their reunion, Teresa and Joe’s marriage couldn’t make things work following their legal issues. Teresa confirmed on the “RHONJ” Season 10 finale that she and Joe decided to end their union after the Italy trip. “The past five years have been really dark,” she said, per Bravo, adding that she had been hurt leading up to the split. The former husband and wife ultimately kept their divorce very cordial as friends and parents — Teresa even called their split “the easiest divorce in the whole entire world” once it was finalized, per People.
