Joe Giudice has been released from custody and is currently in his native Italy to await the outcome of this appeal of his deportation case. And though his ongoing legal issues have been top of mind, recent photos shared by his daughter Gia Giudice on Instagram have everyone talking for a slightly different reason — Joe's super fit body. 

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.

Gia took to Instagram stories to share images of her first FaceTime with her father after being released where she captioned the photos, "One of the happiest moments of my life! Love you so much daddy, so happy you['re] free! See you soon!" Joe is all smiles...and incredibly slim after his time spent training to be a MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter. 

Earlier this year, Teresa explained that Joe has big plans after his release that include competitive MMA fighting and that he had steadily been working on his body while serving time — and now we see that his work certainly paid off.

In other images of Joe after his release you can see that he has slimmed down and shed massive weight in addition to increasing his overall tone. Gia and her sister Gabriella chatted with their svelte dad and sweetly captioned the pic, "I still can't get over this ❤️❤️❤️ I love you more than words can describe."

No word just yet on when Joe plans to pursue his goal, but by the looks of it, he is ready.
