Joe Giudice spends the holidays with his daughters, his ex-wife Teresa Giudice and her husband Luis Ruelas
Joe Giudice reunited with his daughters over the holidays.
The former reality star, 51, who rose to fame alongside his former wife, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, 51, welcomed his ex to the Bahamas for the much-anticipated family reunion.
There he met daughters Gia, 22, Gabriella, 19, Milania, 17, and Audriana, 14.
The Giudice sisters were dressed in their Christmas costumes in front of a Christmas tree with their father, who was dressed in a Burberry checked shirt and black pants.
Teresa joined the group and once again wore a black and white evening dress so the girls could have their picture taken with both their parents.

Both were posted to Joe’s Instagram account on Thursday.
Joe, who was deported from the US in 2019 after serving three years in prison for fraud, has been banned from entering the country.
He and Teresa finalized their divorce in 2020.
Joe now calls the Bahamas home.
In a performance at Teresa’s Namaste B$tches podcast, Joe explained that he chose the island because its proximity to the US would make it much easier for his daughters to visit.
He also works in construction. “This is what I grew up doing, like building and renting, this is what I did in the United States,” he said, “it’s an easy job. I’m not complaining. I get a salary and we are partners for other things I bring in, like stucco work.”
One photo shared to Joe’s Instagram Stories features a photo of Teresa and her ex surrounded by their daughters.

Both men have formed a bond since Louie and Teresa tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in August 2022.
According to an appearance by the RHONJ star on the Whine Down podcast, it was Louie who made the first move.
Joe and Louie have built a good relationship. A video labeled ‘Family’ and shared by Milania on her Instagram Stories shows that the group consisted of Louie’s sons Nicholas and Louie Jr., who enjoyed a big and loud family dinner
“He said, ‘Honey, don’t you understand?’ I want to be good with Joe because then the girls feel comfortable,” she said.
