Dolores Catania may be wishing Teresa and Joe Giudice the best, but she doubts they’ll stay together! The Real Housewives of New Jersey star revealed that she met with Teresa after her Bravo interview on October 27 and said the mom-of-four is “anxious” about going to Italy to see Joe.
“I was looking at two different people,” Dolores, 48, told The Daily Dish on October 31 after seeing Teresa, 47, and Joe’s interview. “I was with them the night before he left to begin his prison sentence, and they were very much in love at that time."
She continued, “What I had noticed back then, four years ago, was that she had just come home and he was leaving, right? She had almost matured when she was away, and he was still the Joe that she left. But he's not coming back to the same Teresa, that's for sure.”
Dolores revealed she met up with Teresa after watching the interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. “Teresa's doing OK. She's anxious to see him,” Dolores said. “She's going to Italy soon, and it's the first time she's going to see him, physically be able to hug him or touch him. That's gonna be very telling for the relationship."
She added, “But she's made it clear she does not want a long distance relationship. So time will tell.”

Joe, 47, is currently living in Italy until a decision is made about his final appeal to stay in the United States after serving time in prison for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud. The former RHONJ star was transferred to an ICE detainment center when he was released from prison in March. Due to harsh ICE facility conditions, he asked to await his decision in his native country, Italy, and the judge granted his request on October 3.
Teresa is due to go visit Joe with their four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana when they have a break from school. “I wish them the best. I know at the end of the day they'll do what's right for their children, and that is get along and just make peace and make the best of what they have,” Dolores said. “And I will be there to help along with that because I know that. I know how to do that.”
Teresa previously revealed during the RHONJ season 9 reunion that she doesn’t plan to uproot her family to Italy if he was deported. During their interview together on October 27, Andy, 51, remarked that the couple was already talking like their relationship was in the past tense.
“If we stay together, we stay together, if we don't, we don't. You know, it's a conversation that we'll see,” said. “I'm not gonna tell her what to do. If she doesn't feel like she doesn't want to be with me anymore, then that's the thing to do.”
