By Jocelyn Vena

Following the Season 10 finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, in which Teresa and Joe Giudice made the decision to separate after 20 years of marriage, and ahead of Part 1 of the reunion, Joe took to Instagram to reflect on his family.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/9c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

In one post, he opened up about the trip to Italy that was featured in the episode, when Teresa and their four daughters traveled to see him amid his ongoing deportation case.

"No matter how much [100] energy and time I devoted to trying, it failed. I did my best and put all efforts into making this a great experience for my family. I did try to address issues in the relationship that bothered me throughout the years, in return [it appeared] as criticism!" he shared about that trip. "My key role was to always to be a great father and husband not the [bad guy emoji]. Today I [see], I can’t allow others to keep lingering toxins and undesirable demands around me. I choose to have a solid foundation with strong and inspiring people around me in [Italy]."

He then added the following hashtags: #inspire, #strong, #energy, #toxicpeople, #devote, #livingmybestlife, #relationshipgoals, #italy and #bestlifenow.

In another lengthy Instagram caption, he shared a message about his daughters (Gia, 19, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 14, and Audriana, 10) .

"Everyday, it’s important to wake up happy. I must infuse my days with joy to fulfill the promise I made to the women (family) in my life. I wake up with a positive attitude each morning to improve my well being throughout the day... If you replace toxic people with healthy choices, you move forward like all leaders do," he wrote, with several hashtags: #womenhistorymonth, #women, #loveyou, #motivate, #empoweringwomen, #power, #sorrybabe, #daughters, #loveyourself, #sorry, and #lookingup.
