RHONJ’s Teresa Giudice has ’email sex’ with husband Joe from prison

How do you keep the spark alive when your husband’s in federal prison for fraud? According to Teresa Giudice, it’s all about the marvels of modern technology.

“Is there any, like, phone sex going on?” Taylor Strecker asked the Real Housewives of New Jersey star when she and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga stopped by Wake Up with Taylor on Wednesday.

“No, email sex. I mean, he says stuff on the phone and I’m like, ‘Stop, they’re listening to our phone calls!'” she replied, laughing. “Not that they’re not reading the emails, too.”

Teresa, 44, returned from her own nearly year-long sentence at Christmas, and Joe, 44, will spend 41 months in prison.

The mom of four said she talks to Joe multiple times a day and visits him every week.

“He’s doing amazing, thank God,” she said. “I mean, you know, as best as expected. He doesn’t love being there, but he’s strong-minded and working out and taking a lot of classes, so we just can’t wait for this to pass and I can’t wait for him to come home.”

And on Thursday’s episode of Reality Checked with Amy Phillips, Teresa confirmed that Joe has crossed paths with Apollo Nida, the estranged husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Phaedra Parks. (Both Bravo stars are doing time at the Federal Correction Institute in Fort Dix, New Jersey.)

“Joe said he was really nice,” she said. “My husband didn’t know who he was, ’cause he doesn’t watch the show, so when he got there he met him and he was really nice. … Joe said he was a really cool guy.”
