Teresa Giudice Ordered To Report To Prison In January: Judge Promises ‘RHONJ’ Star ‘Holidays With Her Family'

“This will not be our last Christmas together,” an emotional Teresa Giudice told her husband Joe on an episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey this season.

The judge in the Giudices' fraud case ordered the reality star to report to prison in January — specifically so she can spend the holidays with her husband and daughters one last time.

As soon as she’s out, however, her husband Joe will have to go in for 41 months — a sentence that is likely to be followed by his deportation back to his native Italy.
Judge Salas decided to stagger the sentences so that the couple’s daughters, Gia, 13, Gabriella, 9, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 5, can live with at least one parent at a time.
“I want you home with your girls,” Judge Salas said.
