Of course Teresa's husband Joe could not attend, as the 46-year-old is still serving a 41 month sentence for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud. 

Reports circulated this week that ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) had placed an immigration detainer on the father-of-four, and that 'removal proceedings' were underway.

However his legal team shot down the story, branding it 'a cheap shot'.

'The immigration detainer that was referenced today is more than two years old,' they told DailyMail.com.

'It remains pending and no decision has been made by any judicial authority regarding its merits.

'The story was a cheap shot at Mr. Giudice's expense... while the topic of immigration is on everyone's mind in light of recent national events.' 

The couple married in 1999 and have four daughters: Gia, Milania, Gabriella, and Audriana.

Teresa was allowed serve her 15-month sentence -which began in January 2015- for connected crimes before her husband, so the children would not be left parent-less.
