Teresa Giudice Prison News: Melissa Gorga Gives Update
On Sunday's "Watch What Happens Live," Teresa Giudice's sister in law Melissa Gorga stopped by to talk about the "Real Housewife of New Jersey" star's condition behind bars and also revealed how Joe Giudice is coping nowadays as he takes on the role of primary caregiver to his four daughters while his wife is in jail.
Melissa told host Andy Cohen that Teresa is "doing really well." Melissa said that it hasn't been easy for Joe without his wife around. However, she reveals that Joe has stepped up to the plate and is doing quite well.
"It's heartwarming to see him," said Melissa, who was visibly emotional as she recalled the family's morning routine. "He's manning up and doing what he has to do. I see him drive the girls every morning."
Though Joe and his daughters have established a routine without Teresa, Melissa said that Joe handling everything without his spouse is "heavy on his heart."
Meanwhile, a source tells E! News that Teresa is doing better and "getting in the best shape of her life" since beginning to exercise three times a day in prison.
"She says [exercise] helps her sleep," said the source. "She does cardio, bikes, weights, and even Pilates. She does not miss a day, she does it religiously. She is extremely fit right now."
"She says it herself, she's in the best shape of her life. People find different things to focus on while they're in prison. This is what she's throwing herself into," the insider added.
The source reveals that Teresa has struggled to find a way to eat healthy food, but she is diligently seeking out alternatives to the meals served in prison.
"She's doing her best to eat right, but it's a challenge … She always attends breakfast, lunch and dinner, but sometimes she'll skip a meal and get something from the commissary after, like tuna," the source said.
