EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank Center|Teresa Giudice Says She's "Praying Every Day" for Ex Joe Giudice's Return to the U.S.

Teresa Giudice has nothing but EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank Centerlove for ex-husband Joe Giudice.

On The Real Housewives of New Jersey's May 2 episode, the Bravo star got emotional while talking to her former spouse over FaceTime during their four daughters' dress fitting ahead of her August 2022 wedding to Luis "Louie" Ruelas.

She even revealed her desire for Joe to eventually return to the United States following his 2019 deportation by telling him, "I'm going to keep praying every day that, I hope, one day you could come back here."

For Joe, who currently lives in the Bahamas, Teresa's words meant the world.

"I'm glad that yous [sic] are happy and that things are, you know, going the way they are and I appreciate everything that you're doing over there for my kids because I can't be there," he told his ex. "Everybody deserves to be happy and as long as everybody is happy, that's all that matters."

Joe's kind message even brought the Bravo star to tears.

"Joe wishing me happiness, it just shows how far we've come," Teresa admitted in a confessional. "I'm so proud of how we've continued our relationship, stayed connected, and I know that makes our daughters happy. He's always going to be in my life."

Teresa concluded their phone call by telling Joe, "I only want the best for you."

Joe was deported to his native Italy in 2019 after serving nearly three years in federal prison for fraud. Joe and Teresa called it quits in December that same year after 20 years of marriage and finalized their divorce in September 2020.

Since splitting, Teresa revealed how her ex feels about her moving on with Louie.

"Luis and Joe get along and we went to go see him in the Bahamas," she exclusively told E! News in January 2022. "We had dinner together and it made my daughters really happy. And it really wasn't my doing, it was Luis' doing and I love him even more for that. He's pretty amazing. It was really nice and it made my daughters so happy. I was so nervous about it but thank God it all worked out and it was a beautiful thing because my daughters were so happy."

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
