Teresa Giudice of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is currently serving her 15-month prison sentence for fraud at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, and while she's serving the rest of her time, she is reportedly thinking about her husband's happiness and wants him to go out and enjoy himself.
A source told People magazine that the 43-year-old reality TV star wants Joe "to take a break and enjoy himself once in a while because this is a difficult time for him." The insider added that Joe has been taking on a lot of things lately while caring for their daughters Gia, 14, Gabriella, 10, Milania, 9, and Audriana, 5.
Despite rumors that Joe is cheating on his wife while she's in prison, the insider added that their marriage is stronger than ever and that Teresa thinks that the stories about him seeing other women are "ridiculous."
Since Teresa reported to prison on Jan. 5, there have been rumors linking Joe to other women as he has been photographed seemingly in the company of different women throughout the past months. Last week, Radar Online published pictures of the 43-year-old father of four at the Daddy O Hotel Restaurant and Bar on Long Beach Island in New Jersey, wherein he was photographed having drinks with a woman at a bar. In April, he was seen in the company of another woman at a Newark seafood restaurant.
The source told the magazine that Teresa thinks people instantly assume that Joe is cheating on her just because he is photographed standing close to someone.
"He was photographed with one woman at an event whose fiancé was standing right behind them," said the insider of Joe. "People don't have all the facts."
Teresa and Joe pleaded guilty in March 2014 to concealing assets from bankruptcy creditors and submitting falsified loan applications to get an estimated $5 million in mortgages and construction loans. Joe has also pleaded guilty to failing to pay taxes totaling more than $200,000.
Teresa is set to be released for home confinement on Dec. 23 and will serve the rest of her sentence in her New Jersey home. After Teresa completes her sentence, Joe will begin serving his 41-month sentence in federal prison.
