Joe Giudice Doesn’t Think He And Teresa Giudice Would Still Be Together Even If He Wasn’t Deported And Opens Up About His Relationship With New Girlfriend Daniela Fittipaldi!

Joe Giudice is opening up about his relationships with ex-wife, Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa Giudice, and his current girlfriend, Italian lawyer, Daniela Fittipaldi.

The father of four reveals why he doesn’t think his marriage to the Bravo reality star would have lasted even if he wasn’t deported.

“I mean, she’s with her new guy and everything,” he, told Us Weekly. “Why would I want to go back to that? … There’s a lot of other women out there.”

Joe and Teresa called it quits in December 2019 after 20 years of marriage and their divorce was finalized in September 2020. 

“I don’t really miss being married. … I’m good,” Joe told Us Weekly, noting that what he misses most is the opportunity to be with his kids on a regular basis.

While he doesn’t expect to rekindle his old flame with the mother of his daughters any time soon, the pair are still “cordial” with one another. “I talk to her,” Joe explained. “It’s not like we call each other every day but … I got nothing against her. I grew up with her, you know what I mean? She’s the mother of my kids.”

Joe was deported to his native Italy in October 2019 following his release from prison. These days, the father-of-four is spending more time in the Bahamas. Co-parenting from different countries has some challenges, but the exes are making it work despite the distance. 

“We do the best we can and that’s all we gotta do,” he told Us Weekly.

Both are in new relationships following their divorce. Teresa is now dating Luis “Louie” Ruelas, a New Jersey businessman while Joe is dating Daniela Fittipaldi, an Italian lawyer.

Joe revealed that he still doesn’t “really know” Ruelas too well but “he seems like a decent guy” based on his first impression.

“[It was] a little awkward [when we met],” Joe said. “It was a group atmosphere … I guess he just wanted to introduce himself being that they’re probably moving in together and I guess the kids are going to be living there with them as well, which was understandable and nice of him.”

As previously mentioned above, Joe is now dating Fittipaldi. “She’s a very, very smart,” Joe told Us Weekly. “She’s good with the kids.”

Joe noted that his four daughters approve of his relationship with Daniela. “The girls got along with her” when they met. “We had a good time and I guess that’s all that matters,” he said. “They still like her. That’s good.”

Despite being in a new relationship following his split from Teresa, he admits that he isn’t rushing to walk down the aisle anytime soon.

“I don’t know. We’ll see,” he told Us Weekly. “We’ll worry about that when that comes — when that happens. But as of right now, I’m just hanging.”

Guidice revealed how his daughters first met his new flame. “We just introduced her [when] the kids came and they stayed with me in Salerno. She would come over and everybody would just have lunch together,” he explained. “We hang out. We went out a few times before [the coronavirus pandemic] lockdown and that was it. We had fun.”

Joe and Teresa share four daughters, Gia (20), Gabrielle (16), Milania (15), and Audriana (11).
