Teresa Giudice Confirms Her Father, Nonno Giacinto, Is in the Hospital
The RHONJ patriarch was recently in the hospital in December for pneumonia.
Teresa Giudice confirmed on Instagram that her dad, Giacinto Gorga, is in the hospital. The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom shared the news to her Instagram Stories on January 3, but did not confirm why her father was being hospitalized.
In the video Teresa shared in her Instagram Stories on Friday, her dad is busy spritzing cologne. He was recently out with his daughter and granddaughters celebrating the New Year holiday following his four granddaughters returning from Italy where they had been visiting their father, Joe Giudice. Teresa stayed behind in NJ to celebrate with him and the rest of their family.
He was most recently hospitalized late last with pneumonia, son Joe Gorga confirmed in December. Fans have seen him struggle with his health on the current season on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Over the last several years, Giacinto has faced several hospitalizations, including earlier this year. Teresa even wrote about her father's health issues in her 2017 book release, Standing Strong.
In a 2018 interview with The Daily Dish, Teresa opened up about the precautions her family has taken in the last few years around her dad, who lives with her and her four daughters. "That's the thing, none of us can be sick around him because he catches it right away. We're constantly always washing our hands," Teresa explained. "Like when you have a baby and you make sure everything's clean, that's how you have to be with him because he gets sick easily."
