Teresa Giudice reunited with Joe Giudice onscreen for the first time since her husband went to prison in 2016.
In an interview with Andy Cohen on his Bravo late-night show "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," the parents of four daughters discussed everything from Joe's recent weight loss, questions of infidelity and what happens next for the family.
Joe and Teresa pleaded guilty in 2014 to three counts of bankruptcy fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. Joe also pleaded guilty to one count of failing to file a tax return.
‘RHONJ’ STAR JOE GIUDICE BREAKS HIS SILENCE AFTER ARRIVING IN ITALY
Teresa was sentenced in October 2014 to 15 months in prison and was released in December 2015. Joe was held by immigration officials after he completed his 41-month prison term this past March. A judge ruled in October 2018 that Joe, who is not an American citizen, would be deported to his native Italy upon completion of his prison sentence.
While Teresa, 47, sat down in Cohen's New York studio, Joe, 49, joined in via satellite from Salerno, Italy where he is currently living while waiting for a ruling in his deportation case.

Joe's weight loss

They didn't ask Donald Trump for help
Teresa knows President Trump from her "Celebrity Apprentice" days but the Giudices told Cohen that the couple did not ask the president for help.
"He has so much on his plate, that guy,” Joe said. "Even if he could maybe try to do something, I don’t know if he would get criticized. I don’t know what they would do to him."

Selfies with ICE agents
Joe claimed ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents took selfies with the former reality star as they escorted him on to the plane he took to Italy.
"I had two immigration officers, one on each side, taking selfies with me the whole time," Joe alleged. "One guy in front, and I think there was someone else who carried a gun on a plane. You know, I’m a very dangerous guy."

What the future holds
The couple is not sure what the future holds for their relationship but they did confirm that Teresa and their four girls will not move to Italy even if Joe is deported from the United States.
"If we stay together, we stay together, if we don’t, we don’t," Joe said. "As long as she’s happy, that’s all that really matters. I’m not going to tell her what to do. If she doesn’t feel like she wants to be with me anymore, then that’s the thing to do."
He added, "I’ve been with her a long time. No matter what happens, I’ll always love her."
