She's gaining weight! Teresa Giudice, 43, admits she has added five pounds to her slender frame since leaving prison three months ago 

She's known for flaunting a sexy bikini bod.

But Teresa Giudice revealed she has gained five pounds since returning home from her 11-month prison sentence in December. 'Joe's a booty guy, so he likes it,' the 43-year-old reality star admitted to Us Weekly on Saturday.

The weight gain is not noticeable. But when she left the Danbury Correctional Facility the reality diva appeared 10 to 15 pounds thinner than before she went in.

'He's been all over me since I got home,' she added. 'He's been saying the same thing that my booty has grown and he likes it.'

But it seemed as though the mother-of-four has decided to slim down again after an Instagram snapshot she posted on Tuesday with her high school sweetheart.

'Showing Joe how to cook a healthy dinner for when I'm at book signings,' she wrote in a Hello Fresh apron holding a packet of seasonings and fresh produce.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star attended her book signing with husband, Joe Giudice, 43, when she gave the candid interview.

She recently released her memoir, Turning the Tables about her stint inside Danbury Correctional Facility in Connecticut for fraud, which is currently No. 1 NY Times Bestseller.

The couple have been making the most of their time together since her December 23 release, as Joe is due to start his own 41-month sentence on March 23.

The parents of Gia, 15, Gabriella, 11, Milania, 10, and Audriana, aged six were permitted to serve their time separately so the girls would not be left alone.

And Teresa said that Joe 'hasn't even asked' for advice.

'I didn't know anything [when I went to prison],' she said. 'You go with the flow. You just go with it and you adapt. You don't trust anyone.'

Despite having lived in America for over two decades, Joe never became a US citizen and his recent fraud conviction could get him deported.

'There is no way Joe is going back to Italy without a huge long legal battle,' an insider told Radar Online in September.

'He had already begun the steps to become a citizen as the criminal case against him developed.'
