Milania Giudice's 7th Birthday Celebration

For some reason, though, Teresa deleted the image, likely due to backlash. The mother-of-four can’t seem to escape the wrath of the Internet these days, especially after she was spotted holding hands with a guy … who wasn’t her husband, Joe, 46.

Teresa Giudice's Sister-in-Law Melissa Gorga Isn't Surprised That She Would Dump Joe If he's Deported: 'I Did Not Think She Was going to Move'

In a new sneak peek of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, Teresa confirmed she would leave him if, er, when he will be deported to Italy. “This man is the one and only love of your life, but what you’re saying is that you would split up … that’s what you’re saying,” host Andy Cohen asked her in the clip. After a long pause, the reality TV starlet dropped the bombshell, “I mean, unless my kids say, mommy, I want to move to Italy.”

She added, “Gia’s going to college next year; I haven’t spoken to Milania or Audriana about it, we haven’t gotten there yet, and Gabriella already voiced her opinion to me. She was like, ‘That would be so hard for me, mommy.’ She doesn’t speak the language. She’s like, ‘That would kill me even more.’”

Gia, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10, have “been through so much already,” she continued. “I’m not doing a long-distance relationship. I’m not doing it.”

The Bravolebrity then assumed her man would have a wandering eye. “You know, I want somebody with me every day. I know exactly what happens. You know, I’m sure he’ll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing; it’s not going to work. I’d be like, ‘Bye-bye.’”

Will Teresa Giudice and Joe split if he gets deported?

Perhaps because she’s seemingly had a wandering eye herself these days. Teresa was spotted with Blake Schreck last month, who’s in his mid-20s.

On Saturday, February 16, the pair was seen “flirting, holding hands and cuddling,” a source told In Touch exclusively. “They looked really into each other and were having a wonderful time.”

That said, Teresa has denied any wrongdoing. “I took tons of pictures with tons of fans, so, I mean, I was hugging a lot of people,” she said. “A lot of people were touching me.”

“I don’t understand. How I can be deported on this case?” Joe asked following the news. “If you will, I’ll tell you my side. I shouldn’t even be here right now.”
