Joe Giudice’s daughters penned sweet messages for him on his birthday.

The former reality star turned 50 last Friday. Marking the occasion, two of his daughters paid tribute to him via social media.

Milania Giudice, 16, shared a couple of snaps showing her dad cradling her when she was still a baby. In both photos, Joe smiles at the camera while carrying his child and standing by the beach.

“Happy birthday to my rock. You make me laugh & smile like no one else. I love you,” Milania wrote in the caption.

Joe’s eldest daughter, 21-year-old Gia, also uploaded a picture of her dad taking care of her when she was still a baby. She accompanied it with a more recent snap showing her and her dad sitting side by side.

“Happy birthday to my best friend. I love you so much, I am so grateful to be here celebrating with you! You are my rock. Let’s celebrate tonight,” Gia captioned the post.

Fans flooded both posts from the Giudice sisters with positive messages. Many greeted Joe on his birthday.

Joe also uploaded some pictures he took with Gia on his special day. In one post featuring a photo of them standing together, he wrote, “My beautiful baby Gia [red heart emoji].”

The father and daughter reunited more than a month after Gia opted to stay behind in the U.S. with her mom, Teresa Giudice, while her sisters flew to the Bahamas to spend the Easter holiday with their dad.

Milania, Gabriella, 17, and Audriana, 12, visited their dad in Nassau and spent time with him and their cousins during holy week. Meanwhile, Gia got busy in New Jersey as she fulfilled some working engagements with their mom.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star and Joe broke up in December 2019 after 20 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in September 2020.
