Melissa Gorga is sharing her appreciation for husband Joe Gorga. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member posted a sweet shout-out to her ‘handsome hubby” on his birthday, which took place just days after the couple celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary.

In a series of sweet photos posted on August 21, Melissa and Joe can be seen posing together in front of the bay of their Jersey Shore home, where they’ve been spending most of their time in recent months. “Happy Birthday to my handsome hubby @joeygorga!!” the mom of three wrote in the caption. “You deserve the best day. Thank you for always being so selfless and putting your family first. We love you so much.”

Melissa wasn’t the only one to shower Joe with love on his birthday. His sister, Teresa Giudice, also posted a birthday tribute on Instagram. “Happy Birthday @joeygorga I’m so lucky to have you!” she wrote alongside a video slideshow of family photos. “You are the greatest brother always looking out for the girls and I!”

Teresa’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, dedicated a special message to her uncle as well. “Happy birthday to not only the best uncle but my best friend,” she captioned a series of party photos taken earlier this summer. “I love you more than words!! as age goes on you keep getting younger…keep being you, your the best!”
