KEY POINTS

  • Joe Giudice shared a heartwarming message for his daughters online
  • The former reality star said his children with Teresa Guidice are his life
  • Fans felt sorry for Joe since he could not return to the U.S. and be with his kids

Joe Giudice expressed his love for his daughters with his ex-wife, Teresa Giudice, in a new social media update.

On Monday, the 5-year-old Giudice patriarch took to Instagram to share a message conveying his love for his children.

"Telling my children I love them isn't a habit. It is my constant reminder to them that they are the best thing that has ever happened to me," read the note he shared on the photo-sharing platform.

He reiterated in his caption that his kids "are my life."

Fans quickly flooded Joe's post with positive messages since many felt the same toward their children.

"I hear you, Joe! My children are my life, too," one commented.

"My daughters are my life, and I don't know what I would have done without them after my husband passed away, and they are my life and light, and I love them so much," another wrote.

Others felt sorry for the former reality star since he was away from his kids. Joe got deported to his home country, Italy, in 2019. He has been staying in the Bahamas since then.

"So sad. Must be hard for you not being with them. I can imagine," one fan stated.

"It's unfair that you can't be with them. Stay strong, Joe," another added.

The former "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star's update came a little more than a week after his daughters gifted him with "beautiful" photos from the beach-themed photo shoot they did in August.

In the snaps, Gia, 21, Gabriella, 18, Milania, 16, and Audriana, 13, looked gorgeous while rocking stunning dresses in different shades of blue as they posed by the beach.

Joe shared the photos on Thanksgiving and wrote, "My beautiful daughters." His ex-wife also received the same set of pictures.

Last month, Joe got to spend some time with his eldest daughter, Gia, when she vacationed in Nassau. The father and daughter duo shared pictures and clips showing their special bond in the capital city.

When it was time for Gia to leave, she admitted on TikTok that she was overcome with emotions while bidding farewell to her dad.
