According to a new report, Teresa Giudice “is really happy” that her ex-husband, Joe Giduice, is dating a lawyer in Italy, which he made the revelation during last week's appearance on The Wendy Williams Show.
“Teresa is really happy for Joe that he’s moving on with his life,” a source told HollywoodLife. “There’s no bad blood between them and she wants him to be able to live a happy life.”
The former couple still communicates regularly, despite ending their 20 year old marriage.
“They still talk daily and it’s always about the girls,” the source explained. “Their marriage was over for quite some time, so it’s not a total shock to her that he’s dating. The girls are OK with it as well and they’re happy their dad can spend time with someone.”
Teresa has also moved on with her life. “She is having fun and going out and she’ll absolutely talk to a guy, but she’s not seeing any one person in particular,” the source confirmed. “Joe also knows she’s going to be dating and they really just want the other to be happy. The girls want to see their mom happy, too.”
The father-of-four, who is living in his native Italy after being deported last year following the completion of his prison sentence for fraud, appeared on The Wendy Williams Show on Friday, October 9, where he opened up about his new romance.
“I’m actually seeing a lawyer,” he said. “She’s helping out a lot out here, it’s good because I have a lot of things going on out here and she’s putting together a lot of deals for me. We’ve been seeing each other, you know what I mean? I wouldn’t say that we’re boyfriend, girlfriend, but we’re kind of like hanging out a lot.”
Williams asked if the Guidice and his new love interest are living together and whether his new galpal has a key to his apartment, but Joe said no.
Williams also questioned Joe why he and Teresa got a divorce 20 years of marriage, saying, “Is it the cheating, the legal thing, the distance?”
“The distance, you know what I mean, and then how’s it going to work?” he said. “I’m over here, she’s over there [in New Jersey]. There’s no way it’s going to work, no matter where I’m at. What am I going to do, pull the kids out of Jersey bring them over here? It just won’t work.”
He added that the couple’s December 2019 split “wasn’t really my choice — we fought and, listen, this is what came out of it.”
Due to the coronavirus, Giudice revealed that he has not seen his four daughters since December.
“We talk every day,” Joe said. “Melania was just gonna call me now. I was watching them play soccer yesterday through the phone. So, good thing for the phones. It’s better to be there in person, but what are you gonna do? Right now, I wouldn’t be able to come there anyway.”
