Joe Giudice and his ex-wife Teresa Giudice split in 2019 after more than two decades together.

Joe was deported to Italy in October 2018 after serving 41 months behind bars. He moved to to Bahamas to be closer to his family, according to Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

He laid low for a bit, but felt that he was ready to give dating a try. About three months after his divorce was finalized in 2020, Joe started dating Daniela Fittipaldi. The two split after about a year together.

“I have a lot going on right now and don’t have time for a relationship,” Joe said in a statement in December 2021, according to People magazine. “I just honestly don’t have the time or headspace for a relationship right now. I’m more focused on work and getting back to the U.S. so that I can see my family,” he added.

Meanwhile, Joe’s ex-wife moved on with Luis Ruelas, and took her relationship public in November 2020. The two got engaged in October 2021, and are planning to wed in August 2022.

On June 2, 2022, Joe shared a post that featured another woman, causing fans to wonder if he’s dating again.
