‘Real Housewives’ husband Joe Giudice won a temporary delay in his deportation ruling – AOL - Superstar Biduut Daas

Pop culture patriarch Joe Giudice, the husband of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice, has won a temporary halt to his imminent deportation to Italy.

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals “temporarily” granted the delay Thursday after the reality TV spouse, who recently served three years in federal prison for financial fraud, filed a last-chance appeal last week.

“Removal is stayed until such time as the court can consider the motion for stay of removal,” a court record posted online Thursday states.

Giudice, 46, was released from prison in March and immediately transferred to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility because a judge said last October he should get the boot.

His prior appeal of the order failed in federal court last week, setting the stage for the effort underway now.

Giudice, who is not a U.S. citizen, has four daughters with Teresa. The kids, who all live in New Jersey, launched a campaign on social media and Change.org asking the Trump administration to let their dad stay.

The daughters, led by Gia, 18, say they need their dad to be a part of their lives.

“My father, Joe Giudice, came to the United States when he was an infant, one year after his birth, he has resided in New Jersey his entire life,” the petition that racked up more than 52,000 signatures as of Thursday says.

“He was found guilty of NON Violent offenses and served his time complying with all prison guidelines and procedures. My mother and father have fought tirelessly to pay back every single penny of restitution to court deemed they owe. They have made a mistake but rectified it through serving time and by (financially) satisfying all that was owed,” the petition authored by Gia states.

She argues her father “knows nothing of Italian culture” and has no immediate family there.

“My father is not a danger to society, he is a warm loving man and I beg you sign our petition to give my father a second chance at being part of our lives and giving back to the community we live in once a again,” she says.

Teresa’s name is signed at the bottom, and she mentioned the petition in an Instagram post.

But she confessed last month that a deportation will end the couple’s marriage.

“I’m not doing a long-distance relationship,” she told Bravo’s Andy Cohen.

“I want somebody with me every day,” she said, adding that she also wouldn’t trust him to stay faithful.

“I know exactly what happens, like, you know, I’m sure he’ll be with other women. You know, it happens,” she added. “The long-distance thing, it’s not going to work. Like, ‘Bye-bye.’”

Teresa, 46, previously served 11 months of a 15-month federal prison sentence for concealing income and lying during bankruptcy proceedings.

The husband and wife were allowed to serve their sentences at different times so one parent was available to take care of the kids.
