KEY POINTS

  • Joe Giudice reunited with his 15-year-old daughter Milania this week
  • The father and daughter had a blast while spending time at the beach
  • Joe revealed his eldest daughter, Gia, bonded with her cousins recently

Joe Giudice and daughter Milania Giudice headed to the beach as part of their reunion bonding this week.

The 49-year-old former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star took to Instagram Thursday to update his followers about what he’s been up to with his 15-year-old daughter, who visited him in Italy this week.

In one clip he shared, Joe and Milania could be seen engaging in an intense workout routine by the shore as they were doing the splits. Milania could be heard giggling when her dad got a little competitive. Joe captioned the post, “My baby.”

In another video he uploaded, Milania could be seen happily dancing around with Joe’s sister Maria on the white sand. “Happy times [with] my sister Maria [and] my baby Milania,” he wrote in the caption.

Fans couldn’t help but express their happiness for Joe as he finally got to reunite with one of his daughters.

“So happy for you Joe!!!!! So good to see you guys together again,” wrote one fan.

“I’m so glad you get to spend time with your girls,” commented another.

It wasn’t clear if his other daughters with ex-wife Teresa Giudice — Gia, 20, Gabriella, 17, and Audriana, 12 — were also there. But Joe recently posted photos showing his eldest daughter, Gia, preparing their family’s tomato sauce recipe.

In one snap, Gia was seen smiling at the camera while preparing the huge batch of tomatoes needed for the recipe with four other people. In the caption, Joe revealed that Gia received help from her Italian cousins in making the sauce that day.

Another photo showed Gia and her cousins crushing the tomatoes with the help of a machine. In another post, Joe said that he was so proud of Gia and her cousins for making the tomato sauce together.

Joe previously stayed in the Bahamas after he was deported to his home country, Italy, in 2019. But now he is back in Calabria to be with his family, based on his recent social media posts.

Prior to his reunion with his daughters, Joe received sympathy from fans when he expressed online his longing for his children amid the pandemic.

“My greatest wish is that my kids always know how much I love them, and that they walk through the rest of their life knowing I’ll always be there for them anyway I can,” read the message he uploaded to his Instagram the day after his youngest daughter, Audriana, turned 12.

Joe couldn’t visit his kids in New Jersey because he was told to “never step foot in America again” as part of the deportation terms imposed by the government after his 41-month U.S. prison sentence on fraud charges.
