The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice seemed lively and carefree in an Instagram video posted earlier this week, with bikini-bodied girls and shirtless guys dancing around the pool. Below, see Joe’s post and deleted caption, plus his wife Teresa Giudice‘s reaction.
Joe, 47, who has been living in Italy, shared the clip from a trip with a group of friends. He gave a shout-out to his daughter Milania, 15, as attractive women danced to her song “I Can’t Wait to Grow Up.”
“We love you, Milania!” one of the women shouted. Joe’s guy friends also laughed and posed and Joe told them to “dance a little bit” to the song.
Joe also captioned the post with a positive, uplifting message that has since been edited.
“I took this down because of others comments! But today, I decided to live for me,” wrote Joe. He continued in saying how we, “must consider life a process, not an event,” and how, “every outcome serves a greater purpose” in life.
“Sometimes the answer may not come immediately because it involves going on a long dreadful journey to discover it,” he wrote. “It will involve work, but I am learning to embrace my fears, anxiety, and trust the process. Don’t allow your emotions to distract your journey! #loveyourself #change #trust #fearoffailure #journey #growmindset.”
Joe has since edited his caption to remove the part about ‘living for himself.’
The caption likely serves as a reaction to the drama Joe’s been facing with his ex and mother of his children, Teresa, 47. The RHONJ star recently noted her suspicion of Joe’s adulterous past while other family members criticize his past and present antics.
Teresa also surprisingly reacted to Joe’s video, writing: “Lol I love that big guy trying to kick his arm bit ????.” And Joe responded to Teresa about how cool it was that she and Milania FaceTimed his friends.
In more Joe news, a new report by the Hollywood Life is revealing that his daughters, Gia, 19, Gabriella, 16, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 11, are holding off on visiting Joe for the time being after visiting him twice in Italy late last year.
“Joe and Teresa remain in a good place and are communicating constantly about the girls. The girls will absolutely visit Joe again soon but nothing is planned as of yet because of so many different school schedules, so it’s a matter of timing,” a source shared. “The older ones can travel alone but someone needs to go with the younger ones so it’s all being figured out but everyone’s hoping it’ll happen sooner than later.”
Joe and Teresa split in 2019 after being married for 20 years and Joe remains in Italy while awaiting the decision for his deportation case.
