Teresa Giudice Has Become ‘Emotionally & Financially Independent’ Without Joe

Teresa Giudice will be just fine when her husband is deported to his native Italy, because she’s already become an independent woman during jailbird Joe’s sentence, a close friend exclusively told RadarOnline.com.

After a source told RadarOnline.com that The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 46, is talking about divorcing her longtime love, another insider said she’s undergone an “unexpected emotional and physical transformation” over the past two years that Joe has been in prison.

“She’s bodybuilding, and going out on the town with friends,” the insider explained, adding that she used to stay home before Joe turned himself in for fraud charges on March 23, 2016. “She has become an entirely different person.”

As time goes on, she’s visited Joe “less and less,” the insider claimed.

Though she has told friends she doesn’t like for her four daughters to see their father behind bars, the insider said the lack of visits to his Pennsylvania facility have more to do with her “change in feelings toward Joe.”

“She is a woman who has become very independent, both emotionally and financially.”

RadarOnline.com exclusively reported that an immigration judge ruled Joe must be deported in an emotional court hearing on October 10.

Teresa did not attend the hearing.

The mother of four’s former friend Kim DePaola told RadarOnline.com certainly won’t follow her husband to Italy.

“She ain’t moving nowhere,” the Posche by Kim D boutique owner said. “She’s staying here. She’s going to film her show, she’s going to ride the wave. And just like she didn’t visit him in jail, she ain’t going to visit him in Italy, no.”
