Teresa Giudice celebrated her 44th birthday without her husband and the love of her life by her side, Joe.

The 43-year-old is currently serving the remainder of his 41 month prison sentence for fraud at Fort Dix.

The birthday girl was instead surrounded by their four daughters Gia, 15, Gabriella, 11, Audriana, 6, Milania, 10, her mother Antonia, brother Joe Gorga, and his wife Melissa.

'the sweetest birthday with my beautiful girls,' Teresa captioned an image of herself with her daughters.

Joe and Teresa were sentenced in October 2014 for bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.

They were both convicted and Teresa was released from her 11-month stint inside the Danbury Correctional Facility in Connecticut on December 23.

Joe began his sentence for fraud at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, New Jersey on March 23.

He will also be facing the possibility of deportation back to Italy when he is released from prison.

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

The judge ruled that the couple did not have to report at the same time for the well being of their four daughters.

Teresa, meanwhile, seemed to be doing a good job of putting her troubles at the back of her mind as she instead surrounded herself with family, sporting a white tank top with the Om symbol.

Teresa has been acclimating back to life at home ever since she was released from her prison sentence late last year.

The proud mom has flooded her Instagram account with images of her daughters, and in late April enjoyed a girls night out with her friends.

In April, Teresa paid her husband - who she referred to as 'the love of my life' on Instagram in March - a visit for the first time in prison.

'It was a very emotional visit,' a source told People of the couple's reunion.

In an interview with InTouch, Teresa shared the advice she had given her husband before he heads off to serve time, and how difficult it will be without him at their home.

'He’s my life - I’m going to miss him tremendously,' said Teresa.

'Just him not being around - looking at him, kissing him, touching him. He’s the love of my life.

'He was there for me and I’m going to be there for him.'

Joe, meanwhile, has already received five months kicked off his 41-month sentence according to his inmate status with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, according to Us Weekly.
