Joe had been away from his family for over a year after he was deported to Italy. His four daughters with ex-wife Teresa Giudice — Gia, 19, Gabriella, 16, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 11 — were supposed to visit him in April, but their trip was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But two of his daughters finally got the chance to visit him in Italy, and the dad-of-four is overjoyed.

"I’m so excited they have arrived," he wrote in the caption.

Fans of the Giudice family sent congratulatory messages Joe, saying they were happy to see him finally reuniting with his children.

"So incredibly happy for you Joe. Enjoy your wonderful time with your girls. You certainly deserve this," one follower commented.

"Omg!!!! Yes! I am so happy for you!!" another wrote.

"People can talk all the s--- they want, but they cannot call you a good dad," a third fan wrote.

"So awesome! Hope you have the best time with your beautiful girls!" another fan wrote.

Joe's daughters, Gabriella and Audriana, were not able to join their sisters on their trip to Italy because they were busy with school, Page Six reported. Joe will be spending the next 10 days with Gia and Milania.

"Gabriella and Audriana had school and other obligations, but will be going the first chance they get," an unnamed source told Page Six. "They all love and miss their father.”

In April, Joe got emotional when his Easter reunion with his four children was canceled, taking to Instagram to express how much he missed them.

In his post, Joe said that they were supposed to reunite, but "the unthinkable happened," referring to the coronavirus pandemic. He also admitted to feeling down on special occasions, saying they feel emptier and less joyful" without his kids.

"My heart breaks for anyone who is going through not seeing their kids, wife, parents, or loss," Joe added. "This has taught me to be grateful and humbled by all my experiences it reinforced the idea of never taking anything for granted, especially my babies. Happy Easter everyone! Make Memories that last."
