Teresa Giudice Reveals the Major Way She Supported Joe Giudice Financially
RHONJ's Teresa Giudice is "sure" that her ex-husband is grateful for the financial contribution.
Teresa Giudice hasn't been married to Joe Giudice since 2019, but the two still co-parent their four daughters together — and they share a bit of a financial connection.
On the December 31 episode of her podcast, Turning the Tables with Teresa Giudice, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member revealed that she paid her ex-husband's taxes in 2023.
"I paid his taxes in full. He’s done now. And then he was telling me, ‘Don’t pay them.’ I’m like, ‘Oh yeah.’ He’s like, ‘Why are you paying them? I left the country. I’m not even there. You don’t have to pay them.’" Teresa said on the podcast, recounting a conversation she had with Joe, who currently lives in the Bahamas. "And I'm like, ‘I do have to pay them because we were married.'"
Though Joe didn't have the warmest reaction to finding out that the House of Villains cast member had paid his taxes, she was "sure" that he was grateful in the end.
"He’s not that mushy type. [But] he sent me something on Instagram, he’s like, ‘Just want you to know you’re the best mom ever.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, you should put it out there in writing,'" she joked on the podcast. "I know I am. I don’t need him to tell me. My kids know it, that’s all that matters."
Teresa Giudice says she pays for "everything" for her and Joe Giudice's four daughters
While appearing on the December 4 episode of the Give Them Lala podcast, Teresa told host Lala Kent that she takes care of her daughters' life and college expenses.
"I take care of everything," Teresa explained, referring to taking care of Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana Giudice. "I do everything."
"The kids have a small amount of money that Joe gives them, but I pay for colleges, everything," she continued. "It's all on me."
She also said that her daughters are the reason why she remains on such good terms with her ex. "I do it for my kids," she said. "I keep the peace for them."
